SALEM. Ore., Nov. 8. Governor
lien W. Olcott, defeated republican
candidate for re-election for governor
of Oregon, in a message of congratu
lation sent todny to Welter II. Pierce,
successful democratic candidate, com
pliments him on his "very decisive
victory."
"Please accept my congratulations
upon your very decisive victory," the
governor's message to Pierce says.
If there is any way 1 may assist you
In your new duties, command me.
Oregon means more than the per
sonal fortunes of any man or set of
men and it is my hope that under
your administration she may grow
and prosper."
Governor Olcott accepts his defeat
gracefully and says he "has no re
gret In leaving the governor's chair.'
"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."

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) The Associated
Press tabulation of tho vote for the
house of representatives 'showed at
8:30 o'clock this morning: Demo
crats J7S; republicans 171;,. pocills(,'
one. " " - , .
Only twenty states were then com
plete Two hundred nnd .eighteen
members are required for a majority.
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.
Tho returns, so far, would reduce
the republican majority in the sen
ate from 24 to 16 with prospect of a
further reduction.
. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The re-election
of Representative Scott, republi
can, Michigan, tied the democrats and
republicans in their race for control
of the house of representatives. It
gave each party 178 votes toward the
majority of 218 for which they were
straining. Only 21 states had report
ed a complete vote, however, and it
was plain that the deciding figures
were to come from the west and mid
dle west.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (By Associ
ated Press.) 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.
