DEMOCRATS WIN SENATORS
REVERID6E BEATEN
Number of Members Increases
From Eight to Twelve
New York, Nov. 9.—There will b;
V" material changes in the ne:;t U. S
senate as a result of yesterday's el-
ections. New York will send a dem-
ocrat to succeed Chauncey II. De-

tionary in the primaries and the leg-
islature being republican, will go U
the senate from the Wolverine state
Aldrich, of course, has retired but
his successor from Rhode Island will
be a republican and probably a map
whom he will be instrumental in se-
lecting. There is a bare possibility
today that Senator Henry Caboi
Lodge may not succeed himself in
Massachusetts. There is a disposi-
tion to blame him more than anyon?
else for the defeat of the republican
ticket in the Bay state and there was
a rumor current that a combinati
might be made between the anti-
Lodge republicans and tne democrats
whereby Lodge would be defeated
*r Senator Elmer J. Burkett will be
succeeded by Congressman G. M
Hitchcock who has carried the pri-
maries in Nebraska. Hitchcock, s>
democrat made his first campaign
against Burkett on the tariff issue
and won a handy victory.
Senator Thomas H. Carter will be
returned in Montana, Senator Moses
E. Clapp in Minnesota, Henry A
Dupont in Delaware, Robt. M. La-
Follette in Wisconsin, P. J. McCurj-
ber, in North Dakota, George S. Nix-
on in Nevada, Nathan B. Scott in
West Virginia will be succeeded uv
a democrat, the legislature standing
22 democratic on joint ballot.
Senator Win, Warner of'Missouri
will be succeeded by a democrat
James A. Reed, who is believed I'■
have defeated cornier oGvernor I)
R. Francis in the democratic pri-
maries.
Connecticut^ having prone repub-
lican so far as the legislature is con-
cerned, may return Senator M. Of
Bulkley. Senator Charles A. Cul-
berson, democrat, will be returned
In Texas, Virginia will return a dem-
ocrat. In California Senator Frank
P. Flint will be succeeded by either'
John D. Works or Albert G. Spauld-
ing, republicans. Senator Frazier
democrat, will be returned from
Tennessee. Senator H. D. Money
retires in Mississippi, but Iss ucceeri-
ed by a democrat John Sharp Wil-
liams, former leader of the demo-
crats in the house.
Of the remaining senators whose
terms expire on March 3rd next, Oli-
ver, republican, Pennsylvania; Pace,
republican, Vermont; Raynor, dem-
ocrat, Maryland; Sutherland, repub-
lican, Utah; will be returned. A
democrat will succeed James T. Tal-
iaferro, democrat, in Florida and
Congressman Poindexter will get the
seat of Samuel H. Piles of Wash-
ington.
The republicans are assured of 16
Hw senators with thirty-four hold
over senators which gives them a
total of fifty. The democrats are as-
sured of IB new senators, with 25
hold overs which gives them a total
of forty. Two senatorsliips are still
in doubt, namely, the successor of
the late Jonothan P. Dolliver in
Iowa, and of Carter in Montana,
where there Is a prospect of a tie.
The totals, leave the republicans a
majority in the senate as follows:
Total membership 92 necessary
to majority 47; republicans 50, dem-
ocrats 40, doubtful 2.
Sixteen republican senators con-
sidered assured as from: California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachus-
etts, Minnesota, Michigan Nevada,
North Dakota, Pennasylvania. Rhode
Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Fifteen democratic senators con-
sidered assured pre from: Florida,
Ind'ana. Louisiana Maine, Mary-
land, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey, New York, Oh'o,
Tennessee, TexaB, Virginia and West
Virginia.
Accordingto the latest figures the
democrats have a majority on a join-
ballot of 32.
John W. Kern has been endorsee"
by the democrats and in all probab-
ility will become the colleague of
Seator Shively, also a democrat.
It is conceded that the democratic
state ticket was elected with a plural-
ity of about 15,000.

BEVERIDGE GONE.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—Beveridge's
hopes for another term went glim-
mering tonight when the retruu"
showed the democrats had elected
majority of the Indiana assembly
Totals 225 164 172 215
Socialist, 1; Vacancies, 4.
X—Doubtful.
Democrats elected 225 representa-
tives.
Republicans elected 164.
Socialists elected 1.
Doubtful district I.
oTtal 391.
Majority of house 196.
Democrats majority in house 29.
Complete returns on the election
of representatives in congress indi-
cate the democrats have a working
majority of 29 in the next lious-v
The number of democrats elected ti-
congress according to the latest re-
turns, which are of an unofficial
character is 22,i. The republican
representation will be 164 or eight
seats less than the democrats now
have in the sixty first congress. !
The eleventh Pennsylvania rtis-l
trict which was represented in the I
sixty first congress by a republi-!
can is in doubt. The twelfth Penn- |
sylvania district also normally re-
publican is likewise doubtful. 1
Absolute confidence is not fe't I
in the return for some of the Wis-
consin districts and It is not impos- ,
sible that the official figures will
change the totals of the two par-
ties.

Eight Amendments Suffer the
Same Fate.
Guthrie. Okla., Nov. 8.—At 11
o'clock election indications from re-
turns received here point to the
election of Lee Cruce of Ardmore for
governor, over Joseph W. McNeal,
Republican, of Guthrie, by about
1,500. The election of Congressman
Bird S. McGuire in the First Dis-
trict also seems assured. Congress-
man Dick T. Morgan, Republican
is confident of re-election in the
Second district, and C. E. Creager,
Republican, stated tonight that in
the large counties of his district
he had gained over the last con-
gressional election.
Probably 40 per cent of the negro
vote of Oklahoma was polled today,
in spite of the grandfather clause
limitation, according to reports re-
ceived at Republican headquarters.
I At Guthriee, Oklahoma City, King-
j fisher, Chandler and other western
i Oklahoma citics only a very brief
I educational test was required of the
! negroes, though many who could
j read and write stayed at home rath-
j er than submit to the humiliation of
I the requirement.
A damage suit was started late
l today against election officials who
j denied T. Cofield, an ex-slave, who
I can not read and write, permission
| to vote. Damages of $2,000 are
asked and the papers will be filed in
federal court tomorrow. As a test
case this will probably go to the
United States supreme court.
In western Oklahoma several
thousand Indians were deprived of
their votes under the grandfather
clause, including large numbers of
Pawnees and Osagess.

New York, Nov. 9.—Roosevelt's
"support" seems today to have spell-
ed defeat for its declpients the coun-
try over, and Roosevelt opposition
seemed to have brought success.
Of course, Roosevelt's most nota-
ble defeat is in New York state wherj
Stimson was defeated decisively.
Of the men whom Roosevelt op-
posed Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of
Connecticut was most conspicuous
The clash between these two reached
the personal stage and may yet re-
sult in a slander suit by the gover-
nor-elect against the colonel. Gov.
Harmon of Ohio was another nota-
ble example and he, too, was victor-
ious by a decisive plurality. Roose-
velt made a special trip to Iowa to
aid the congressional candidacy of
Charles Grllk, but the latter shared
along with the other Iowa and Kan-
sas candidates for whom the colonel
spoke, in the general reverse.
The defeat that came closest homo
to Roosevelt was that Congressman
Wm. M. Cocks, who represents tiie
colonel's district and for whom the
colonel made a final appeal. The
New ^ork friends of the colonel wno
counted upon his support to return
them to congress were Hamilton
Fish and Herbert Parsons. Both
were defeated.
T. R. To Be Recluse*
Oyster Bay, Nov. 9.—Col. Roose-
velt went into temporary retirement
today. When a correspondent as-
cended Sagamore Hill to "talk it
over" with the colonel in accordance
with an engagement made yesterdav
he discerned the stocky form of tlia
lion hunter seated in an easy chair
in his library window. He was sur-
rounded by the morning newspapers
which he was careful'y perusing
with a frown on his countenance.
When the colonel looked tip and
noticed the newspaper man ascend-
ing the steps ,'ie disappeared into the
room. When the bell was rung tb^
negro butler opened the door. Be-
fore a question could be framed he
said:
"Ct 1. Roosevelt desires me to sty
that lie will see no one here for an
indefinite period. It will be no use
to stay here as his decision is final-
He has nothing to say.
For the first time since he has-
been home the cclonel failed today
to take his usual morning gallop.
Col. Roosevelt felt the strain of
his efforts of the last few weeks-
He complained after making his last
speech of the campaign that the ef-
fort had told on him more than the
hardships during his African hunt-
ing trip. He said he intended to take
a leng rest.
Oklahoma City Ncv. 3.—Althous*
wild claims aro being made by hctfc
sides and various reports are in cir-
culation in a'l parts of the state ab-
solutely noth'ng definite can be give*
■ at this time on the result of tW :.tote
on the local option amendment. Th
"drys" are claiming victory by S'J -
000 majority while the "wets claim
they have carried the state b/ 40,-
000. The fact that the two sides iM-
fer so far in their estimates of the
outcome of the election shows that
nothing official has been ascerta'nei
yet.
One report from p-ohibltlon heat!-
quarters tonigh* had it that the de-
feat of prohibition was conceded.
The report further said the defeat
was due to the fact that about l.">,00#
votes were counted in favor of th®
amendment because of the fact Oct
they were not on either side rfl -lie
question. The question was so ar-
ranged that a failure to vote for f:r
against it. was equivalent to a voU
for the amendment. To be defeatei
or carried it requires a majority nC
'he votes cast in the election. Later
reports state that the "drys" stifl
claim the election by 30,000.
Only in a very few counties wa«
there a close tab kept on the vsto
and until the official report, is mad«
by the different county electtoa
boards can anything definite tw*
learned.
Local option headquarters tonight
gave out the following report on rc -
enteen counties showing the majori-
ties: For the amendment Caddn.

Murray, 161; Love, 100; Washing-

FRANCE SEEKS PEACE
Paris, Nov. 8.—Arbitration as the
preventative of strikes, is the posi-
tion of the new French government,
as outlined today to the chamber of
deputies by Premier Briand. Today's
session was the first since ten days
ago when the sitting broke up in *
riot after Briand had sought to de-
fend the government's course in sup
pressing the railway strike.
triand's policy was more conci'i-
atory today and he was listened to
with more respect. He read his re-
port which declared the government
•vas not opposed to unions but ques-
ioned the right of public service em-
iloyes to tie up the business of the
laticn to win their points. This dec-
ration was greeted with hisses by
we of the socialists and strike sym-
pathizers.

New York, Nov. 8.—A victim if
the sweat shop Samuel S. Sibro.-ii
15, tried to kill himself today b>
cause he was "too tired to live."
Hollow chested, weak, and an-
aemic, the lad roused himself from
the lethargy that had seized hlt.u
while sitting on a bench in Chcl:io«
park and shot himself twice with «
revolver that he had bought a c
ago in contemplation of suicide.
Neither wound was serious and th«
intervention of a policeman preveK -
ed a third shot. The big officer ear-
rled the moaning boy to the sUticsr
house and later he was take® te
Bellevue hospital.
"Let me die," he cried as he stran-
gled In the policeman's arms. 'Tu
sick and have nothing to live for."
' That's what the sweatshops dr
for children of New York," the p>
liceman commented.
Bibrone lived in Jersey City, h
addition to working thirteen hou**
a day in a tailor shop, the lad at-
tended school five nights a week t*
further his ambition to become
lawyer.
"It was hard," he told the hospHM
authorities, "to work 13 hours a d -
and then study half the night, fenr

tors had not told me that I wouW
