No definite decision was reached by the commissioners on the proposed project, partly because of lack of com-| Plete information regarding the plans! of the federal government. T. R. Atkinson, city engineer, out- lined present arrangements to take) advantage of the government's offer) to construct the viacuct entirely; with federal funds. In 1930 a similar) study was undertaken but at that) time the project was abandoned, prin- cipally because of the head-room re- quired to meet federal specifications and the nearness of the tracks to Main avenue which would necessitate @ grade of greater than 7 pez cent |¢, Steepness, Atkinson said. State highway department officials) recently received a telegram from fed- eral authorities at Washington ask- ing how many underpasses could be, built in a limited period of time. The; underpass in Bismarck was recom- mended, but since then no word has been received from the government Yegarding further plans. Confer With N. P. Enginecrs Atkinson reported that he had held conference with Bernard Bloom, chief engineer of the N. P. railroad. Bloom is in favor of the project if} satisfactory arrangements can be made, Atkinson said. In the discussion that followed sev- eral of the men present expressed the idea that they were opposed to de- pressing Main avenue or in any way injuring property that would border the underpass roadway. Locating the underpass was next considered and mention was given to Third, Fifth and Ninth streets. De- cision was held up until further word hhas been received from the govern- ment. Attending the meeting were A. E. Brink, John Larson, Birlea Ward, W. B, Couch and H. P. Goddard. The commissioners approved the abatement of interest and penalty on taxes against the city property owned by E. A. Wilson. Approved also was the petition to close the alley in Block 21, Riverview addition. Reports of the city weigher and city magistrate were read and approved. The magistrate reported $15.90 col- lected in fines during August and $99.75 collected in September. Loads | weighed on the city scales ih October included coal, 1392; ice, 49; hay, 112; hogs, 36; oats, 17; corn, 8; poatoes, 13, sand, 101 and gravel, 80.

Republicans Concede The most optimistic Republicans conceded that a Democratic congress was being elected and that adminis- tration followers would fill more than half the 33 governorships at stake. Only a count of the returns from contests in 31 states for 34 senator- ships and in 47 states for 432 house ‘seats will show whether the Democrats accurately predicted that they would control both branches of congress by two-thirds majorities. Sixty-four are necessary for a two- thirds majority in tls senate; 290 are required in the house. At present there ‘are 60 Democrats, 35 Republicans and one Farmer-Laborite in the senate; 314 Democrats, 114 Republicans, 5 Farmer-Laborites, and 7 vacancies in the house. In September Maine elect- ed Senator Hale, Republican; Gov. Louis J. Brann, Democrat, and one Republican and two Democratic rep- resentatives. Nerves were on edge in sections of California, where a spectacular race for governor by Upton Sinclair, Demo- erat; Frank F. Merriam, Republican, and Raymond L. Haight, Progressive, drew the attention of the nation. Amid charges and counter-charges senate campaign committee investi- gators were sent into Pennsylvania and Delaware to watch voting in the Reed-Guffey and Townsend-Adams The nation saw President Roosevelt take the lead in casting his ballot in his home town, I"yde Park, N. Y. For the first time in the campaign, former President Hoover also appear- ed in the political picture. “The coun- try needs a live and virile Republican Party more than cver,” he said in a letter to the Republican club of Sum- mit, N. J. Of the 33 governorships at stake, 24 are held by Democrats, eight by Re- publicans and one by a Farmer-Labor- ite, Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minne-) sota. A total of 274 high state offices also are on the election block. Seven states are voting on prohibi- tion repeal, including Kansas where @ dry constitutional amendment has been in effect half sc. century. Democratic headquarters were look- ing confidently toward senate gains in Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia, Missouri and Indiana. Outside of supporting Senator Hir- ‘am W.

Thus the political fate of Senator |Bronson Cutting, New Mexico Repub- |lican, and Senator Henrik Shipstead. ; Minnesota Farmer-Laborite, was in |the balance. Both were opposed by! Roosevelt Democrats. Minnesota Election Watched The Democratic high command also lawaited anxiously the outcome of Floyd |B, Olson’s Farmer-Labor campaign for governor of Minnesota against |Martin A. Nelson, Republican, and John E. Regan, Democrat. Despite the confident predictions of {Democrats that they would hold all their 17 senate seats being filled Tues- day, Republicans caused them to re- jdouble their efforts in Wyoming, Ne- jvada and Montana. The Democratic organization not only sent speakers into those states to help their candi- Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, Demo- crat, was hard-fought by Rep. Vincent Carter, Republican, in Wyoming; Sen- ator Bert Wheeler (Dem. Mont.) faced former Federal Judge George ©. Bourquin, Republican, and Sen- ater Key Pittman (Dem.

Mrs. William Langer, seeking to suc- ceed her deposed Republican husband ‘as governor in North Dakota, drew platform. Her opponent is Thomas H. Moodie, Democrat. Republicans Have Hopes Republicans claimed chances to win governorships in New Jersey, Iowa, Connecticut, Nebraska, Idaho, Wyom- ing and Ohio. In addition, they said, they would retain G. O. P. adminis- | trations in California, Kansas, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ore- gon, Pennsylvania and Vermont. In Rhode Island, where ‘Peter G. Berry, Democrat, and Senator Felix Hebert, Republican, battled for the senate seat, a Democratic campaigner was accused of applying the term “skunk hunters” to small town folk. Whereupon the opposition used that episode in an attempt to align the small-towners against the Democrats. In Wisconsin, the outcome of the three-cornered gubernatorial race of Philip F. La Pollette, Progressive; A. G. Schmedeman, Democratic gover- nor, and Howard T. Greene, Repub- can, expected to go a long way toward determining whether the new third Party movement would survive.

The case is pending before the eighth circuit court of appeals. The supreme court promised to on the question without waiting for the appellate court to act. in asking that this be done, the de- partment of justice said “the finan- ment may be affected by the deter- mination of this great ‘issue.” “Succinctly,” it added, “the issue is} this: Are all these obligations to be discharged at the rate of $1.69 for each $1.00 borrowed?” The government brief estimated the \ case affected from $90,000,000,000 to $125,000,000,000 of obligation in the United States containing a clause) providing for payment in gold.

La Follette’s Republican foe was John B. Chapple. Sixty-one Democrats and five Re- publicans had no opposition for house seats. ODD POLITICAL WINDS IN H MIDWEST ATTRACT BIG VOTE Chicago, Nov. 6—(#)—Unprecedent- ed political situations in several states combined with a test of the New Deal Tuesday to lure midwest- ern voters to balloting places in num- bers promising to set a new high for off-year elections In Wisconsin watchful eyes dwelt on the La Follette broth- ers in their big push to establish the new Progressive Party as a national threat in major politics. North Dakota’s interest centered on the contest for the governorship staged by a former New York social- ite, Mrs. Lydia Langer (R.), against a Democratic newspaperman to “vin- dicate” the regime of her husband, former Gov. Wm. Langer. Hc was ousted after a conviction ior con- spiracy to collect tithes from tederal workers. In Nebraska, the election was en- livened by Senator George Norris’ campaign for a one-house iegis!ature and two proposed state constitutional amendments, one to permit pati-mu- tuel betting and the other for state Prohibition repeal. ‘The ghost of desperado Dillinger bobbed up in Indiana with th2 re- opening of a quiz on his wooden gun escape, @ maneuver that Republicans said would swing votes to them.
