Washington, Jan. 10.—A Demo- crat, Ellison D. Smith, of South Car- olina, was elécted late yesterday by the senate as chairman of its inter- state commerce committee, one of the ranking committees of the new Republican congress. Four insufgent Republican and the two Farmer-Labor senators from Minnesota threw their support to Smith, thus not «only breaking a deadlock which ‘has - existed’ since Deceniper 10, but also giving the country convincing manifestation that their control of the balance of power in the senate is as complete as is that of the Republican insurgents in the house.

B, Hanna ~of Fargo,former governor, will direct the campaign for President Coolidge in North Dakota, according to a dis- patch received by the Fargo Forum today. Fargo, Jan. 10.—Frank H. Hiteh- cock, national compaign manager for Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor candidate for the Republican nom nation for president, arrived in Far- go last evening from Chicago. He was met at the train by a delegation of North Dakotans, headed by Judge Leigh J. Monson, and taken to the Gardner hotel. During the evening Mr. Hitcheock conferred with local supporters but declined to make any statement to newspaer representa- tives until he had come in closer touch with the local situation. ‘A number of Johnson supporters from over the state are expected in Fargo, Mr. Hitchcock said, and he indicated that the ‘campaign would be put under way during the the for Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, who had been the third choice of the insurgents. Smith received only one vote more than the necessary Majority of the 74 senators voting. Onganization Near Complete. With the deadlock broken, organ- ization of the sixty-eighth congress is complete, except for an expected fight over the office of senate presi- dent pro tem. The situation as to this matter was somewhat obscure. Senator Cummins is without the endorsement of the Republican par- ty conference for this place as party leaders have held an election to be unnecessary. With the Iowa sena- tor deposed from the chairmanship of the committee which handles rail- road legislation the insurgents have indicated they would support him for re-election as president pro teri, but there have been rumblings of some opposition from the Republican or- ganization. Whether Senator Cummins re- mains as a member of the interstate commerce committee which handled railroad legislation, was questioned in the senate, by some of the insur- gents. Republican organization feeders hold, however, that he is a" member despite his defeat for the chairmanship: Democrat for Cummins. On the ballot which elected Sen- [ator Smith, one Democrat, Bruce, of Maryland, voted for Senator Cum- mins as he had done since early in the deadlock when the insurgents threw their strength to the South Carolinian and failed to elect him by a margin of one vote. Since that time the insurgents had supported in turn, La Follette of Wisconsin, their recognized leader; Senator Howell of Nebraska, and Senator Couzens. The Republicans voting for Smith were Brookhart, Iowa; Frazier and Ladd, North Dakota, and LaFollette, Wisconsin. Senator Norris, Nebras- ka, another of the insurgents bloc, continued to vote for Couzens -as did Senator Gooding, Idaho; Capper, was not Smith, according to word| Kansas; Howell, Jones, Washington, received by prison officials today.

The Western Union Telegraph messages to Fargo went of Billings, Mont., while telephone communication with Fargo could not be had direct today be- cause of trouble around Jamestown. Repairs had been made near Valley City, but crews were pushing repair work west of there. It was also reported that lines be- tween Grand Forks and Larimore and Lakota were down. Between Lari- more and Lakota more than 100 poles had been snapped off at the ground. The wires weighed heavily with sleet caused a strain too great for the poles to bear and the wind blew strongly. Nearly 100 poles were reported down between Fargo and Valley City, also, yesterday.
