DENOCRATS HOL T SEMTE SEAT Bulow Wins in South Da- kota—G. 0. P. ‘Old Guard’ Virtually Gone. BY J. A. OLFARY, Re-election of Senator Bulow, Democrat, of South Dakota, today eompleted the senatoriai contests in Tuesday's election and brought the Democratic membership up to 75, & Det increase of 5 over the last session. The apparent victory of Bulow on the late returns means the Republic- ans will have only 17 Senators in the next Congress. They had 23 at the last session. The remainder of the Genate roster will consist of Min- nesota's 2 Farmer-Laborites, Senator Bhipstead and Senator-elect Lundeen; Wisconsin's Progressive, Senator La Follette, who did not have to seek re- election this year, and Nebraska's in- dependent, Senator Norris. Senator Bulow, who, as chairman of the Civil Service Committee, handles legislation of interest to thousands of Government employes here and throughout the country, is leading by 5,462 votes with only 130 precincts missirg. The count stood: Bulow, 135,969; Chandler Gurney, Republican, 130,507. Republican Senators who were car- ried to defeat in the Roosevelt land- slide were Dickinson of Iowa, Metcalf | of Rhode Island, Carey of Wyoming, Hastings of Delaware and Barbour of New Jersey. The G. O. P. lost another seat when Representative Prentiss M. Brown, Democrat, defeated Wilber M. | Brucker, Republican, to succeed the late Senator Couzens of Michigan. Against these six losses the Repub- licans took one from the Democrats when Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., defeated Gov. James M. Curley, Democrat, in Massachusetts for the seat relin- Quished by Senator Coolidge. Net Gain of Five. ‘This gave the Democrats a net gain of five seats from the G. O. P. The Republican senatorial contingent was further reduced by one, however, when Senator Norris won re-election in Nebraska as an Independent. In the past he always sought election on the Republican ticket, although he pursued an independent course in dealing with legislative problems. It seems probable they will have to establish a “Cherokee strip” on the opposite side of the aisle, as has been done in the past when one party had too large a majority tc seat on one | side of the chamber. When the Democratic majority be-] gan to grow at the beginning of this administration, Senate leaders avoided | 8 Cherokee strip by crowding an ex- tra row of desks in the rear of the hall on their side of the aisle. It is | difficult to see, however, how that plan ean be followed this time. The question of seating lrrangcu? ments is expected to await the return to Washington of Senate leaders, when they probably will confer on the | details with Col. Edwin A. Halsey, | secretary of the Senate, and Leslie L. Biffle, secretary of the majority. Changes in the chairmanship of Benate committees also mark the re- assembling of Congress in January, but whether there will be few or many depends on which major committee chairmanship Senator Glass of Vir- ginia decides to take. The Virginian is now head of the | Appropriations Committee, and also in | line for the chairmanship of Banking | and Currency, left vacant by the = death of Senator Fletcher of Florida in the closing days of the last session. If Glass stays in charge of Ap- propriations, there will be only a few changes, but if he elects to take Banking and Currency & series of other transfers would follow. Senator McKellar, Democrat of Tennessee, would be in line for the Appropriations post and Senator Hay- den of Arizona would be entitled to succeed McKellar at the head of Post Offices and Post Roads. This would leave an opening in the chairmanship of the Printing Committee. Senator Glass indicated some time ago he would wait until nearer the time for Congress to meet before deciding the chairmanship question. Late returns yesterday told of the re-election of Senator Capper, Repub- lican of Kansas, ranking minority member of the District Committee, and brought word that the Republican floor leader, Senator McNary of Ore- gon, had won anothed term.

BY the Associated Press. ROANOKE, Va., November 5.— Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, 81, known to the theatrical world as “grand old iady of the stage,” has been confined to her bed most'of the time since last February because of infirmities of ad- vancing age, but is not critically ill at her country home near Montvale, members of the family said yesterday. Mrs., Whiffen never entirely recov- ered from an attack of pneumonia suffered in 1928 which brought about her permanent retirement from ac- tive trouping. Until that time she had appeared year after year in some of the outstanding productions of the country. The original “Buttercup” of H. M. 8.

Change of Venue Will Be Requested By Edith Maxwell Second Trial in Slipper Slaying Will Open Tomorrow. BS the Associated Press. WISE, Va., November 5.—Attorneys for Edith Maxwell will seek a change of venue here tomorrow for her re- trial on a charge of killing her father, Trigg Maxwell, in July, 1935. The young former school teacher, now living with her family near Rich- mond in Chesterfield County, is sched- uled to go on trial November 16 in lfl\'% D, C., Wise Circuit Court before Judge H. A. W. Skeen, who presided at her first trial last November when she was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. “I don’t see any need for a change of venue,” said Fred B. Grear, Com- monwealth's attorney, who conducted the State's case against her a year 2go. - He said he believed there was little difference in the attitude of Wise County residents toward Miss Maxwell and those in adjoining counties. Miss Maxwell spent 14 months in Jail awaiting a decision on her appeal to the State Supreme Court of Ap- peals, which awarded her a new trial at its September term. Shortly after- ward she was granted freedom under bond of $6,000. [oLbcoLD AND SILVER will bring you values.
