DEMOCRA BY A With Practically All Resul to Administration Par Latest Returns Frc Many Sectior (New York, Nov. 4.?Latest return: from yesterday's elections indicat* lhat the D-emocratic majority in th< ^ouse of representatives for the Sixtyfourth congress will be reduced to 23 The probable Democratic majority ir ihe senate will be 14. Democrats have elected 226 members, Republicans 192, Progressives 10 and Socialists 1. Of the s:x missing districts it was estimated tonight that tfte Republicans and Democrats night elect three each. Heaviest Republican gains were 13 :ii Illinois, 12 in New York, 10 in Pennsylvania and 9 in Ohio. Progres >ive representation in the house was cut from 19 to 9 or 10. Conites-ts which were so close that they could not be definitely determined at a late hour tonight were in iwo districts in 'Colorado, one in New Jersey, two in Kansas and one in North Carolina. In the Sixth California district, J. A. Elston, Progressive, led George H. Derrick, Republican, by a slight margin. Democratic leaders claimed the election of H. H. Seldomridge and Edward Keating in tihe Second and Tihird Colorado districts. Representative W. E. Tuttle, Jr., of the Fifth New Jersey was in danger of losing his seat to John- H. Cahick, Republican, but his supporters claimed his election. Republicans claimed victory for W. A. Calderhead and John .y. Dykes 111 trie Jtnitn and b:xtn Kansas districts and for J. J.

The State, 4th. John Li. McLaurin, State warehouse1 commissioner, \esterday addressed a 'etter to J. X. Kirven of Darlington, president of.1 the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical society, asking for permission to use the build;ngs at the State fair grounds for cotton storage. A copy of the letter was sent to Gov-elect Manning. Following is the letter to President virven: "The general assemSblyfcas devolved the duty upon me of putting into operation a warehouse system giving 'he people the benefit of storing cotton at cost. The amount provided is ->nly $15,000, which o' course is bare"v sufficient for the purpose of or'anization. In this financial emergency, cheap storage is a paramount necessity. The rates in many standard warehouses hane already advanced to 30 cents a bale, which v:th hig^ interest rates, makes it difficult to earn* the surplus cotton over into 1916. "Some weeks ago ex-Mayor Gibbes, in an interview in The State, called attention to this situation, and said: 'For the storage of cotton at this tiime the galvanized iron and steel frame building on the State fair ground? would afford exceptional "acilities.' Mr. Gibbes further expressed the opinion that you 'would we1 come the opportunity to prove the value of tne society to the farmers in time of emergency.'

The State has appropriated funds for the fair association J ever since its organization, and this ^ is a splendid chance to use these , i quasi pu'blic "buildings to serve a substantial public use instead of their i lying idle for a year. i j "I will have my headquarters frm porarily at the Jefferson hotel, and if, j this suggestion ap-peals to your judg- !

Latest returns indicate that the sen- n ate will remain Democratic by an in- ^ creased majority. Although there is uncertainty re- ' guarding the election in Utah and Xevada, indications are that tfce new senate will consist of 55 Democrats, 40 Republicans and one Progressive. (Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, g of Utah would, not admit defeat, ala though the latest returns showed that James M. Movie, Democrat-Progres- . ii sive, was leading in the contest. Senator New lands of Nevada also seemed in danger of losing has seat to Samuel Piatt, Republican. In States where the fight was hot r test victory was practically assured for Chas.
