ways, mid the speculation in which the
editorial writer indulge is quite diversi

swung baek, but others interpret the vot

and many of its works, including the
tariff ami the enforcement of prohibi
tion. Throughout England the American
elections have attracted more editorial
comment than is often the ruse.
The Times pays a tribute to the Hard
ing administration as one which has
arhieved successes of which America may
Veil be proud, "notably in its eminently
skillful handling of the great intretiu
tional congress"' at Washington last
fall. That newspaper thinks that the

The Chronicle regards the democrat ie
victories as quite enormous and signifi

the result of a natural swing of the pen

satisfaction with the supremacy of big

NEWBERRYISM fiETS JOLTIdemocbatS CAPTURE
IN THE MICHIGAN RESULTS
Ferris Defeats Townsend, .Sup
porter Of Newberry -Says
State Has Cleared Itself Of
Newberryism.
DKTIiOlT. Nov. !. The democratic
successes in Michigan in Tuesday's elec
tion appeared ccu mure pronounced to
day when belated returns showed that in
addition to electing a senator, a member
of the house of representatives and live
nimbi rs of the legislature, the parly had
gained ground in numerous counties of
the state. Jit several instances the ma
jority of county offices went to the dem
ocrats for the first, time in history.
The big fight, however. Was centered
in the senatorial contest and the victory
by la.OUO yoets of Woodbridge M. Fer
ris, foriner governor, over .Senator
Charles K. Townse ml, was looked upon
by democratic leaders as the outstanding
re-u!t.
Throughout the campaign, Mr. Ferris
brought the Newberry matter to the
fore, declaring it was the "big issue in
Michigan" and that by his election
Michigan voters could "purge them
selves of ."Newberryism."
Whether the senator-elect planned to
raise the issue in Washington was not
definitely known today. lie had been
ipioted as saving that if elected he might
reopen the .Newberry case i 11 the senate.
Ill a statement shortly after his elec
tion was assured. Mr. Ferris said tlto
voters had "redeemed Michigan sena
tovially, ' ' adding :
"The defeat of New bcrryyisiu is a
Uic troy looking to clecaiier elections. j't.
j influence will be wholesome for other
; states. "
Mr. Ferris, who is i!) years old, served
two terms as governor of Michigan. As
head of the state goerimicnt he gained
the title "The (iood (ira.y tiovernor."
His administration was marked by inter
vention iu the widespread labor difficul
ties, in the upper peninsula mines. The
governor's appeal to the operators for
a "fifty-fifty deal with the workers"
settled the strike and won the executive
many labor supporters."'

Seven Congressional Districts
In Four States Are Still
Unreported.
NEW YORK, .Nov. (fly the Asso
ciated Press.) Continued republican
control of Congress, but with u seuato
majority cut in two and n house major
ity of ICO slashed to a scant, handful,
appeared today as the net result of last
Tuesday's congressional elections witl.i
returns almost complete. Tight races iu
the few undecided districts uot affecting
the general result, and delajN in count
iug, howeier, theutcned to postpone tlw
final figures unti ltomorrow.
The general picture of Tuesday's storm
of ballots was virtually finished early
this morning when belated Montana re
turns sent the. republicans over the top
in the house contest. Flection of It.
Scott Leavitt, republican, in Montana,
gave the republicans the 218 votes neces
sary to control the next house, but eveu
thin the rpuhlicati tidings wero coupled
with news" of defeat of Representative
MeCoriiiick, republican, Montana, by his
democrat opponent, John M. Lvans.
With seven congressional districts in
four' slates Kansas. North I)akotar
Washington and West Virginia still
unreported at 7 o'clock today, the roll
in the next house stnodi Kepublicans
'0; democrats 203; socialist one;,
farmer-labor out?, and independent one.
The republican' margin promised to be
increased slightly in the remaining con
tests. In the returns to dato 70 places
now held by republicans had been cap
tured without a single counterbalancing
democratic loss. ' ' .
Helatyd returns did wot add to tha
fifty per cent cut iu the senate republi
can majority sustained iu the earlier
tallies. They brought word, however, of
the definite re-elisdinu of (Senator King,
democrat, of Utahover Ernst .Bamber
ger, republican; of Senator Jones, demo
crat of New Mexico, and of another dem
ocratic victory- in M.intana where llur
tun K. Wheeler was elected over Carl W.
liiddick, 11 publican, to succeed Senator
Myers, democrat. Only two (senatorial
contests remained greatly in doubt, those
in .'Washington, where former Uepreseu
tathe Dill democrat, was leading Scua
tor Poimlester, republican, and in North
Dakota, where the democratic candidate.
F. T. O'Connor, was, with u waning
majority as rural returns came in, lead
ing former Governor Lynn J. Frnzier,
republican. Noii-partisau league leaders!
were 'claiming Fra.ier's ultimate elee
t ion.
Late ret 11 ni also litought news of tha
defeat of another republican veteran of
I he house, i!eprej;cutative. tteeiierson, of
Minnesota, rhairmaii of lite postofticc
committee, by a fai aierlaborite, Knutt
Wefnld, This gave the farmer labor
party representation iu both bram-hes of
Congress for the first time, Dr. Henrik
Ship-teal, farn-.v'r-lnborite, having de-
tented Senator Kellogg, iu Minnesota. '
la the few remaining contests the
fight 'was so close that talk of contests,
recounts and official counts was rife.
Most not a! do. perhaps, was a. statement
from Colonel William A. Oastou that hn
would demand a, recount in hi race
against Senator Lode. of Massachusetts,
I republican leader, despite the latter 4
increased lead, through eorrei-tion of a
jtally error, from 1.910 to 8,45.
I Si-natm Dul'ont, of Ikdaware, rcpub-
jlican, defeated on thf . face of return
by Thomas F. Kayard democrat,. Tcfusril
lo comedo defeat aud his managers said
an official recount would be mugftt.
' Senator Peiudeiter, in Washington, also
: was asking 11 ris'anvass while the house
'race in the rvmaining Kansas district,
the tTiird. was o hot that it was said att
official cuioit ndht Is yeccssary to tip
the scales decisively.
