NEW YORK, Nov, 8. (By The Associated Press.) Dem ocratic gains in the national elections continued to pile up- i steadily as belated returns came in from all parts of the country early today. Throughout the night democratic gainsr in the House of Representatives accumulated without count-4 er gain for the republicans in a single congressional district. The great majority rolled up for the republicans in the Hard mg landslide of two years ago was gnawed into by the demo crats in districts in all debatable htates until there seemed a' chance that it virtually might be wiped out or at least re duced to a slender working force for the administration. Some important figures in the republican administration went down to defeat and some members of the Senate and House personally close to President Harding will return to private life with the rising democratic tide.. The republican forces failed to break into the democratic ranks in the Southern congressional district which they have held for year the ninth Virginia. Speaker Gillett was re elected; Uncle Joe Cannon passed on his seat from Illinois to a republican. Miss Alice Robertson, republican, of Okla--homa, the only woman in Congress, was beaten by a man ithe democrat whom she defeated two years ago, and the I picacia nuu.ic guk an auuiuuuai nuiuau nicinoti, a icuuii ' ? nr iir: ic l tr l . .i i e n l i titjii: - can, in xurs. vv liinnrtu iiuck, a uuugnier oi me taie VTiiuam F.

('opelaml, a democrat, health commisioner of New York City. With democratic victories in other stales some national figures close to the republican administration and President Harding 'personally went down to defeat. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, apparently was elected tbut ran far behind the ticket in his State. Senator FreiiiKliuyseu, of New 'Jersey, one of the President's intimates, j who ran on a dry patform in New I Jersey, was beaten by Governor Ed wards, democrat who rati on an openly acknowledged wet platform. Senator Johnson, republican, of Cali fornia, came back, as did Senator Mc Lean, of Coiiecticut, one of tlte admin istration leaders in the tariff fight.
