THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1916. TO ODT DEMOS' LEAD 1NC0MESS Republicans Cut Down Bourbon Majority to About One, Returns Indicate. HOPEFUL OF GAINING SWAY New York, Npv. 9. With thirty congressional districts to be heard from tt 10:45 p. m., 202 republicans, 199 democrats, two progressives, one Independent and one socialist, have been elected to the house of repre sentatives for the Sixty-fifth congress. Of the thirty districts yet to be heard from, jeventeen are represented in the present congress by democrats and thirteen republicans. Should these districts be unchanged the next house would be composed of 216 democrats 215 republicans and four scattering, who might elect to affiliate with eilliet side. Fight Is Close. " At this hour returns are so indefinite that it is impossible to declare whether the democrats will maintain control. If they do, it is certain to be by greatly reduced margin and one that will scarcely give a good working ma jority. In fact, unless democratic gains are made in the districts yet un decided indeDendent minority mem bers might seriously interfere with the re-cicciion 01 apeaKer iarK ana tne . organization or important committees. Republican leaders are still hopeful ot controlling the house. It thev sue ceed, Minority Leader Mann will be their candidate for speaker of the house and Representative Fordney of Michigan will become the majority leader and chairman of the ways and means committee, succeeding Repre sentative Llaud Kitchin ot Worth Carolina. Q. O. P. Gains Made. Republicans have "made important gains in Illinois and7 Wisconsin. Of the democrats defeated in Illinois are Buchanan, who is under indictment for alleged conspiracy in connection with the Labor Peace council, involved in charges of attempts to restrain trade in munitions. Other Illinois democrats defeated are Travener and Stone. In Indiana, Cullop, Cline and Gray lost their seats. Konop and Burke of-Wis consin. Taggart of Kansas, Riordan and Driscoll of New York and Casey of Pennsylvania were other democrats who lost their seats. Among well known republicans defeated are Ben nett, New York; Hopwood and Mathews, Ohio, and Roberts, Massa- , chusetts. Four Demos Lose. In the senate four present demo cratic members, according to the lat est indications, have been defeated. They are Senators Kern and Taggart of Indiana, Martine of New Jersey and Chilton of West Virginia. Three republican senators, Lippitt of Rhode Island. Clark ot Wyoming and Suther land of Utah, also have lost their seats on the basis of the returns. ' The senate will remain, under demo cratic control by a reduced majority of ten or twelve, dependent on the outcome ltTNew Mexico, where A, A. Tones (dem.) is maintaining a slight lead over frank A. Hubbell, nom inated by the republicans to succeed Senator Catron. At this hour the senate stands: Democrats, 53; repub licans, 4J; undecided, I. Clark Loses Seat. Clark of Wyoming and Sutherland of Utah also have lost their seats on the basis of the returns. The defeat of Senator Kern of Indiana bv Harrv S. New, former chairman of the re publican national committee, takes from the democratic organization its tioor leader. Among democratic sen ators mentioned for the succession are baulsbury of Delaware. Martin of Vir. ginia, Walsh of Montana and Under wood of Alabama. In yesterday's election the demo crats elected sixteen senators and the republicans sixteen, with one state yet to be heard from. The senators who were cnosen, according to the latest indications, were: Arizona Henry F. Aahunt (dem ), Arkansas William F. Klrby Idem.). California Hiram W. Johnson (rap.). Connecticut Qeorge p.

Whether debat ing should be elective or incorpor ated in the regular high school Eng lish course was the subject for dis cussion, but neither Superintendent P. M. Whitehead of Red Cloud or Su perintendent Gordon, who held op posing views, or Prof. Fogg of the state university, who stepped into Vthe role of peacemaker, held to the question. Many side issues were discussed by the schoolmasters. Prof. White- 1 A ..... . . . neaa maintaiijea that brains are found only in English classes. Some one else contended he had uncovered the best debating brains in geometry classes. Superintendent Gordon objected to selecting only brains or-winning ma terial on debating squads, not those who need training the most. "You make a god of winning," he said. Consensus of opinion was to prepare all girls and boys for debate. Who should judge high school de bates was another much mooted question. Students, faculty members and outsiders were favored by vari ous contestants. Prof. Fogg advocated umpiring de bates along the lines of what the state schools were trying to teach. "There should be a distinction between a de bate and stump-speaking, declamation or oratory. You should distinguish argument from piffle." Students were poor judges, he said.

Mr. Jones had a new msld, who appeared at the door of the library one afternoon, where her mistress was reading: "There's W coal, mum," said the do mestic, 'an' the fires are aoliv out." "No coal!" cried the mistress. In surprise. "Why didn't you tell me before?" "1 couldn't tell you there was no eoal, mum.JI replied the airl, "when there was coal.' -New York Tlmea. An Kasy, Pleasant laxative. V On or two Dr. King's New Life rills at night Insures a free and easy movement of Ha All druggists. AaT. Teachers of Lincoln, Aurora and Kearney are peeved at something and just won't play with the Nebraska State Teachers' association in Omaha this year. If these teachers themselves are not peeved, their superintendents or other superiors are, for they would not let them come to the association this year. r t . ' The talk of the association dele gates in the lobby at the Hotel Rome is "the boycott," by which is meant the organized effort on the part of a number of towns, headed by Lin coln, Aurora and Kearney, to com bine against the success of the asso ciation at Omaha this year. Lincoln Not Here. Lincoln, which normally brings 300 or more teachers, is not here at all, or only in a fragmentary and insur gent fashion, for the thirty or more teachers who are here from Lincoln seem to have broken away in spite of the effort to hold them back. Su perintendent Fred Hunter of the Lin coln schools had not appeared on the scene by noon of the second day of the convention. Superintendent A. L. Caviness of Kearney and Superintendent A. E. Fisher of Aurora held their teachers back also. The enrollment of some two dozen stray teachers from Lincoln is smil ingly referred to in the lobby as a great contrast to the huge registra tion from that city only a few years ago when they attempted vto regis ter i.jji nctitiousiy in a mad ettort to pile up votes enough to steal the convention. Some Come Down. "From 1,331 to thirty-one is some come down tor Lincoln, remarked one delegate. Of course, Miss Ruth Pyrtle is here from Lincoln. She is a candi date for president of the association. Her campaign manager, Miss Mary Foster, incidentally head of the Teachers' Casualty Underwriters, is here, of course. In fact, thislively campaign manager and insurance woman has been in the city for a week drumming hard for Miss Pyr tle's campaign. Ihis Miss Poster is head also of the Nebraska Women's Educational society, an organization of women leathers m the state. 1 his new as sociation is barelv a vcar old. No one ever heard of any of its activities until they showed up now as political activities. There is a strong fceline that the Women's Educational association is an auxiliary of the once powerful, now emasculated, Schoolmasters' club. Thomas Not Campaigning. By far the most active camnaien made for president of the association is that ot Miss Kuth Pvrtle. Miss Martha L: Powell, principal of Long school in Omaha, is getting some votes. Principal K. F. Adams of the Commercial High school in Omaha is receiving some votes in the orimarv A. O. Thomas, state superintendent, is again mentroned tor president, and is getting many voteslvalthough he is not campaigning for the place himself. "I don't know what I'd do with it," he said. "I certainly have enough to do as state superintendent." The name of E. U. Graff, superin tendent of the Omaha schools, is also mentioned, although Mr. Graff is by no means seeking the nomination. Helen Stanley and Francis McMil len will entertain the teachers this evening at the Auditorium, Miss Stan ley with her soprano voice and Mr. McMillen with his violin music. This feature of the program is given com plimentary to the teachers by the bureau of publicity of the Commercial club of Omaha. 1 Convention; Notea. Prof. A. H. Waterhouse, superintendent of schools at Fremont, In town for the teachers' convention, was greeting faculty members at Central High school. Prof. Waterhouse was formerly: principal .of Central High. The Latin play. "Roma non Delenda Kst," presented by. Central High school Latin stu dents, under the dtrertipn of Miss Susan Paxson, was a big hit of the convention. -The school auditorium whs filled for this event. Farm-Born Women Are Best Teachers "Rural teachers should be born and raised on the farm in order that they should be familiar with rural con ditions and life," declared Pro fessor M. C. Hcffler of Peru before the rural school section of the State Teachers' convention at the Hotel Fontenelle. "Many city girls come to the rural schools to teach who have never been in the country, before. They teach what they have learned regardless of its anDlication to rural conditions." That rural teachers are mostly be tween 18 and 19 years old only and that 90 per cent are women, were interesting facts brought out by Pro fessor Heffler's paper. "Young men use rural teaching only as a stepping stone to other professions," he said. Bullish Market Sends Wheat High! A bullish government crop report, coupled with a strong foreign demand for wheat, started grain prices on tlicir way toward the top. Wheat made a gain of 2 to 4 cents per bushel on the Omaha market, selling at $1781.85 per bushel. Receipts were sixty carloads. Omaha sold 200,000 bushels for export. Corn was about as strong as wheat and gained 1 to 3 cents per bushel selling at 9091J4 cents per bushel, old and new crop holding in about the same notch. Receipts were thirty one cars. Oats advanced Yt cent to 1 cent and sold at SifeS34 cents per bushel. Seventeen carloads were on the market. French Are Much Interested .in the U. S. Elections Paris. Nov. American elec tion is being followed with the deep est interest, the news having the place of honor in most morning pa pers. The commentators, mindful of the dramatic surprise of ( yesterday when the supposedly Hughes victory was turned into a possible defeat, are reluctant to commit themselves. The majority of the comment is similar to fhat of Stephen Pichon in the Petit Journal, who expresses the belief that the victory of either can didate will have little effect on Amer ican policy as far as the big questions interesting France are concerned. It is also pointed out that the present administration will remain in power in' any event until March 4, and that many things may happen between now and then. The Matin remarks that while a victory for Mr. Hughes might mean a more vigorous international policy it would also mean a protectionist regime. J he Matin comments that this change, while unimportant in time of war, might be awkward for French business interests on the re turn of peace. DOES RHEUMATISM JOJP YOU?

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This des troys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the fin ger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It i is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Advertisement.
