Today’s election, the first war, comes as the climax of a cam-| paign which has been attended by many unusual elements. The Allied successes. in France, the German peace offensive, the Fourth Liberty loan campaign and the influenza epidemic all have divided the atten- tion “of the public at the same time. Leaders of Democrats and Repub- licans—have declared they are con- fident of success in today’s battle of ballots. Those of the lesser organi- zations are hopeful of. gains. Being elected today, in the con- test for control of the next congress, are all 435 members of the house of Representative Pat Harrison, nomi- union except Ma:ne, whose etections were held last September as well as 40 United States senators in 33 states. The outcome generally is regarded as close. Representatives in the lower body, delegates from the four territories —- Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Porto Rico—also ares, to be chosen, altho they have no votes, How close is the contest for con- trol of congress is apparent from the present line-up in the house and sen- ate. The membership of the hous now is: Democrats, 215; epublicans, 209; Progressives, 2; Independents, 2; Prehibitionists, 1; Socialists, 1; 5 seats vacant. Total, 435. There are 52 Democrats and 44 Republicans now in the senate. The principal Democratic argu- ment of ‘the campaign has been that President Wilson should have a con- gress of his own political faith to in- sure cooperation. The Republican spokesmen have opposed with the ar- gument that Republicans in congress have loyally supported administra- tion measures needful for the war, and that. Republicans should be elected to deal with important after- the-war reconstruction problems. In today’s balloting, particularly in the southern ‘states where the Democratic nomination is equivalent to election, the elections really are formal ratifications of nominations already made. About 100 Democratic and 30 Republican candidates for the house and a dozen Democratic can- didates for the senate already are virtually elected. The latter include, | Senators Bankhead of Alabama, Rob- insonof Arkansas, Ransdell of Lou- isiana, Simmons of | North Carolina, ppard of Texas, and Martin of Virginia. Also in the same status are, W. J. Harris, nominated to suc+ ceedSenator Hardwick of Georgia, Representative aPt Harrison, nomi- nated to: succeed Senator Vardaman of: Mississippi, Edward J. Gay of Lowisiana, for unexpired term of the laté Senator Broussard, and N. B. Dial'and W. P. Pollock of South Car- oling; for the long and short terms respectively, for the seat held by the late, Senator. Tillman. All of these are without Republi- can opponents except Senator Sim- campaign.
