defeated before the balloting began.
He was leading William Cabell Bruce,
the democratic candidate, In the early
returns.
The republican monagers were
claiming the election of Albert J.
Rcveridga in Indiana on the basis of
unofficial reports of the vote In the
rural districts hut hs ldemocratlo op
ponent, former Governor Ralston, was
given a slight lead In the early re
turns. These figures, however, were
from precincts in Indianapolis in
which, the democrats were expected to
make tholr best showing.
Ilrookhart Elected.
In the face of a republican bolt
organized by the conservative ele
ments of the party, Htnlth W. Urook
hurt, republican, wus, elected senator
In Iowa by a tremendous plurality
over Clyde L. Herring, democrat. The
congressional districts were carried
overwhelmingly by the republicans.
ISrookhart was opposed by tho re
publican bolters as a radical. They
endeavored to divide the republican
party in the Interest of Xhe election
of Herring, but, apparently, only a
comparatively small proportion of the
party followed them into the demo
cratic camp.
Henator Henry Cabot Ivodge, re
publican lender of the senate, was re
elected in Massachusetts by an enor
mous plurality over Col. William A.
Gaston, democrat. The vote given the
senator constitutes a tribute of appre
ciation by his state which well may
aland as the crowning triumph of his
long career In the public aervlce 36
years in congress, 30 of them In the
senate.
Reed and Pepper Iad.
There was a sensational falling off
of the republican vote In Pennsylvania
but Senators Reed and Pepper, ap
pointed to the Penrose and Knox va
cancies, were leading their dcmocratlo
opponents by an apparently safe dis
tance In the latest returns. The Penn-
ylvanla delegation In the house will
be republican by a large majority, al
though the democrats captured a num
ber of districts considered normally
republican.
Wisconsin handed Senator LaFol-
Ictte another term of office on a silver
platter. Tho democratic party was
blotted out officially, having failed to
poll enough votes in Its own primary
to get on tho election ticket. Mrs.
Jessie Jack Hooper, the democratic
nominee for senator, was compelled
to run as an independent.
On the Pacific coast the republicans
had things pretty much their own
way. Senator Polndexter won re
election In Washington easily, while
Senator Hiram Johnson rolled up a
large plurulity in California, desplto
considerable republican disaffection In
the southern part of the state.
In Nevada Senator nttman, anB in
Arizona Senator Ashurst, both demo
crats, were returned for another term
by pluralities that appear to be safe,
according to the party fragmentary
returns.
South Democratic.
In the democratic "solid south" the
balloting wiped out practically all of
the gains In house seats made by the
republicans In the Harding landslide.
A notable feature of that landslide
