HOUSE DEMOCRATS Narrow Majority Will Compel Perfect Organization to Maintain Control. LEADERSHIP TO CHANGE Tarlff Committee Much Affected tj Returns Members "Who Sought Freferment in Higher Places Defeated at Polls. RESULTS OK THREE CONTESTS FOR SENATOR IN DOUBT. In three states where Senator ial elections were held the re sults are yet in doubt. In Col orado Charles Thomas, Dem., leads Hubert "Work, Rep., by a narrow plurality, but full returns may revise it. In Nevada the latest figrures show but nine votes separating: Thomas G. New lands, Dem., who leads Samuel Piatt, Rep. In Wisconsin Francis C. McGovern, Rep and Paul A. Hustlng, Dem., are practically tied and an official recount is in prospect. The alignment in the Senate at the next Congress will be as follows: In doubt S Republicans . 39 Democrats ....-......-......63 Progressives ......... ...... 1 Total ........ ...... .96 WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Many ehan&es In the organisation of the House of Representatives will be made when Champ Clark and "Uncle Joe" Cannon once more face each other across the center aisle at the begin ning of the next Congress. The dwin dling of the Democratic majority, which' will drop after the close of the December session from 140 to 24, will necessitate a general shifting of the working order in the House. With their slender majority the Dem ocrats, while able to re-elect Speaker Clark and retain control of the com mittees, will be forced to maintain an almost perfect organization. Even with a full attendance 'in the House a shift of 12 votes would throw the control to "the minority side. Practically complete returns tonight gave the Democrats 229, Republicans 196, Progressives 7, Socialist 1, Independent 1. Committees to Be Readjusted. This narrow margin will probably re sult in a rearrangement of committee representation. tho Democrats now having an overwhelming majority in ' all of the standing committees. The falling off of the Progressives from 19 in the present House to seven probably will cut down their committee repre sentation materially, and even may lose them the few Important places they now hold. Democratic leadership in the House will undergo great changes. Repre sentative Underwood was elected to the Senate and will leave the House at the close of December. Representative Kitchen, of North Carolina, the ranking Democrat of the ways and means com mittee, will claim the Democratic lead ership by right of seniority, and is ex pected to have the support of Southern Democrats generally. Representative Mann, of Illinois, un doubtedly will retain the Republican leadership, facing the Democrats with formidable support. His rank will in elude ex-Speaker Cannon and numerous other Republicans who have recaptured the places they lost in the 1912 cam- paign. Tariff Committee Decimated. The election will vacate five of the 14 Democratic places on the ways and means committee, which framed the Underwood tariff law. Representative Underwood goes to the Senate. Repre tentative Hammond was elected Gov ernor of Minnesota. Representative Mitchell, of Massachusetts, who suc ceeded Representative Peters on the committee when the latter became As sistant Secretary of the Treasury, was defeated at the polls. Representative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, surrendered his seat to run for the Senate and was defeated, and Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, sought the Senatorial nomi nation and lost his place. Representa tive Murdock, of Kansas, the Progres sive leaaer ana meraner or the com mittee, lost his seat in an effort to go 10 ine senate. All of the Republican members of the committee were returned, and in addi lion ttbenezer Hill, tariff expert and one or the Iramers of the Payne law. was sent back after a two-year stay at home. He will probably make a fight ior nis oia place on me committee. . Rnles Democrats missing. Two Democratic members of the rules committee will not return. Represen tative Hardwlck. of Georgia, goes to the Senate, and Representative Gold fogle, of New Tork, was defeated by Socialist, Meyer London. Representative Kelly, of Pennsyl vania, the Progressive member of the committee, was defeated by a ReDub llcan, and the Progressives may lose thetr place on the committee. The labor committee lost two Demo crats, Representatives Baltz, of Illinois, ana waisn, or new Jersey, who repre sented President Wilson's district. Rep resentative MacDonald. of Michigan, the Progressive member, also was defeated. Four Democratic members of the bank lng and currency committee also failed of re-election. They were Colonel Korbly. of Indiana; Bulkley, of Ohio Neeley, of Kansas, and Seldomridge, of Colorado. Representative Hobson, of Alabama, long a prominent member of the naval affairs committee, lost his place in an effort to defeat Representa tive Underwood for the Senate. Repre sentatives Bathrick, of Ohio, and Gerry, of Rhode Island, also win be missing from the naval affairs committee. The Democrats lost five members who were on the military affairs committee. the Republicans one and the Progres Fives one. The judiciary committ&a will be practically unchanged. . In the Senate the indicated increase in the Democratic majority was wel corned by Administration leaders, who have been hampered during the present Congress by the narrow margin of their control. The possibility of the defeat of Senator Newlands, of Nevada, threat ened to leave vacant the chairmanship of the interstate commerce committee, which has handled the Administration anti-trust measures, and which now has before it the Administration railroad securities bill.

Lucy and Ethel Baker. Lucy and Ethel Baker, billed as "Just Two Girls," are making good at Marcus Loew's Empress this" week. Lucy and Ethel are the girliest kind of girls, and they know how to sing and dance and to chatter foolish nonsense in a way that wins the plaudits of every audience at the Empress. "Tommie" Ryan, the veteran character actor, who headlines the bill, is not the least bit jealous of Lucy and Ethel's popularity, nor are any of the rest, of the actors, for the girls' are "just girls" off the stage, too, and so have everything their own way and everybody's good will behind the footlights, as well as In front. sr. ;- :. .. . 5 3 ' if ? fc -4 .

Despite the assertions of woman suf. frage leaders that they won the vote In some of the other of the seven states which voted on the subject Tuesday late returns bear out early indications that the franchise was denied women in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, North Da kota and South Dakota- Officers of the National Woman Suf frage Association began tonight to re capitulate the results of women's votes in the various states in which they balloted on Tuesday. They contend that the women were instrumental in Cali fornia in passing laws that drive out pugilism and segregated vice quarters and failed in driving out saloons only because of the too drastic provisions of the amendment. . The suffragist leaders also assert I that women showed their power at the polls in Chicago by electing as judge of the Municipal Court Charles iu Billings, who introduced in the Illinois Legisla ture the bill that gave women the right to vote for many offices in Illinois. Billings would have been defeated by the men's vote. Credit for Prohibition Claimed. The leaders also declare that women aided materially in voting prohibition on Tuesday for Washington, Oregon land Colorado. laDuiation or tne woman voies in Chicago shows that they cast 104,641 ballots on Tuesday. The total reglstra. tion of women in the city is nearly 170,000. The percentage of women who stayed at home was much larger than that of men. In Chicago the Democrats received about 43 per cent of the wom en's ballots, the Republicans 34 per cent and the Progressives 23 per cent. WOMAN G&TSTSGr IS MONTANA Eleven Counties.

For At See Wonderful Window Display Read Editorial Comment of Leading Newspapers of the Country The trade agencies report a distinctly disappointing condition in trade throughout the country as a whole, and but little response to the manifestly favorable conditions, of which the number is even greater this week than before. The present ill effects are from the European war, warm weather, which affects the demand for Winter goods, the depression in the cotton situation, and the high rates for money. Added to these are slow collections, restricted industrial outputs and close scanning of credits. Conservatism is widespread, very much overdone, and operates to curtail buying for future delivery.
