Washington Nov 8 — The
election' returns are due to woork
a considerable upheaval in the
s- nate probably in leadership
and certamly in important com-
mittee pests despite continued
republican control
Pr'marily the present republi-
can majority of 24 is reduced to
12 Republican leaders have
ia'd they would welcome a some1
whait reduced and more cohesive
majority They regret the re-
duction but enhanced adhesive-
ness was declared to be question-
able in view of the election rad-
what has been termed as rad-
ical progressve or liberal mem-
bers Both parrties lose powerful
vsLeraus and secure strong ad-
hesions Defeat of Senators
Kellogg of Minnesota Freling-
huyson of New Jersey and du
Pont of Delaware all intimate
personal associates and champ-
:ona of president Harding was
coupled with the downfall of
three other prominent republi-
cans Senators Townsend of
Michigan Calder-' of New York
and France of Maryland and the
prospective defeat of senator
Su Jherlan'd of West Virginia
The democrats on the other
hand lose Senators Pomerene
of Ohio and Hitchcoock of Neb-
raska the latter vice chairman
of the damocratc organisation
ranking minority member form-
er chairman of the foiegn relat-
ion's' committee and former ad-
ministration floor leader
For the firsit time the farm-er-lahor
party will make an ap-
pearance on the senate floor by
the election of Dr Henrik Ship-
stead of Minnesota victor over
Senator Kellogg
New York Nov 8— Republican
control of the house of represen
tafives in the sixty-eighth con
gre3s was determined finally by
announcement of the election of
R Scott Leavitt Second Montana
District at 2:44 a m today
giving the republicans the nec-
essary 218 for a majority At
this hour the democrats had 205
the socialists one farmer-labor
one and Independent one with
nine districts still unreported
Washington Nov 8 — The co-
untry today watched with much
interest the nip and tuck raoe
for control of the house of rep-
resentatives the closest since
the war days of 1916 It saw
most of the republican leaders
stand up against the onslaught
It saw scores of men brought in
by the republican wave two
years ago go out with the demo-
cratic undertow
Volstead author of the pro-
hibition enforcement law was
the only' republican oonmOttee
chairman to go down but ho fell
before an Independent minister
candidate self-proclaimed dryer
than himself This fact often
was overlooked by those who
professed to see in the defeat of
Volstead a punishment for the
dry law
While they had been expected
to take a big hand in the election
th women of the country were
unable to elect one of their num-
ber in the helter-skelter race for
seats There will be no women
in the next congress Alice Rob-
ertson of Oklahoma will go out
then along with Winndfred Mas-
on Huok of Illlnolss elected yes-
terday ’ to HU the term of neif
father the late William E Mas-
on expiring next Mancfh
Mondell for the last four’
years the republican leader in
the house aspiring for the seat 1
from Wyoming went down in a
vain race for the senate and a
new leader will rise in his place
Speaker illett and Mann and
Madden — all the important com-
mittee chairmen in fact save
Volstead held their' seate most
of them never were in danger
Every republican leader of the
house has often declared during
the last two years that the maj-
ority — around 170 at the sdart —
was too big — but none expected
or seemed to fear it would be cut
belpw 40 But starting in the
east the democratic wave be-
gan picking up seats gathering
23 in New York and then raced
down the Atlantic coast cutting
across into Virginia then' turn-
edto the southwest and doubl-
ing back into Pennsylvania
snaept over into the middlewest
country and toward the far west
in ithe hope of finding enough
returns to keep ahead of ithe
republican column coming along
behind
