"Not that I have been anything but proud to servo the people of a great state in Iho enpacity of their chief executive," he .continued, "but be cause it is a chair of stress and trouble, and during the npproachlng years, with new and great problems facing the executive. It will bo all the more so." CLOSE RACE LOOMS FARGO, N. D., Nov. S. Lynn J. Frazier, republican, and non-partisan candidate for senator, will probably climb to a lead of 12,000 to 15,000 over J. F.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Tho repub licans had elected 200 house mem bers and the democrats 190 of the 218 majority needed for control, ac cording to returns completed today at 4:30 p. m. eastern time. Thirty seven districts still were missing from the returns, which showed a total net loss to the republicans of 66 members. In the senate contests the republicans had lost eight, the democrats winning seven and the farmer-labor party one, the latter in Minnesota. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.

(By the As sociated Press) Returns today sup plementing those of last night show that republican seats in the senate from Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Y'ork, Michigan and West Vir ginia aparently had been captured by the democrats and that the republi cans had captured senate scats held by democrats from Nebraska and Ohio. In Delaware, Montana and Minnesota the results were too close to be counted in either column.

The re-election of Representative Scott, republi can, Michigan, tied the democrats and republicans in their race for control of the house of representatives.

Democratic gains in the national elections continued to pile up steadily as belated returns came In from all parts of the country early to day. Throughout the night democra tic gains in the house of representa tives accumulated without counter gain for tho republicans in a single congressional district. The great majority which rolled up for the republicans in the Harding landslide of two years ago was gnawed into by the democrats in all debatable states until there seemed a chance that It virtually might be wiped out or at least reduced to a slender working force for the administration. Some important figures in the re publican administration went down to defeat and some members of the sen ate and house personally close to President Harding will retire to pri vate life, with the rising democratic tide. . ' . The republican forces , failed to break into the democratic ranks In the south and lost one congressional district which they have held there for years the ninth Virginia. Speaker Oillett was elected; Uncle Joe Cannon passed on his scat from Illinois to a republican; Miss Alice Robertson, re publican of Oklahoma, only woman in congress, was beaten by a man the democrat whom she defeated two years ago and the present house got nn additional woman member, a re publican, In frs. Wlnnifred Huck, a daughter of the late- W. M. Mason of Illinois, who bad served in both senate and house. She was elected to fill out her father's unexpired term and will only serve until next March.
