TOFORMCUARD I t FOR MUSSOLINI; r I Facist Leaders To Create * Armed Guard Os Million Men For Premier By Thos. B. Morgan (United Press Staff Correspondent! * Home, Nov. 2 -(United Press) — j Facial leaders planned today to create | tor Premier Mussolini an armed guard I of nearly 1,000.000 men literally worn t lo die for for II Du e. That was the answer ‘of Mussolini's worshipping t followers to the latest attempt to ass- i assinate their leader. i The plan w*as simple—merely to I make :. part of the Fascist Ritual an oath in which every member would < swear to sacrifice his life for the sake I cf the Premier. It was expected that at ' .'Friday’s meeting of the Fascist grand I council, the proposed oath would be ’ ordered administered, and that there z would be provisions for automatic expulsion of any who would not com- 1 py. Such expulsion, it was explained, ’ would eliminate parasites and slackers from the Fascist organization. 0 CONTROL OF U. S. CONGRESS HANGS IN THE BALANCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) loting an expression of the country upon the present administration, two years after Mr. Coolidge swept the, nation, rolling in an unusual major-1 ity in congress by a plurality of 7.000,000 votes out of 29.000,000 cast. Although Mr. Coolidge has taken personal part only in his home state race where his friend Senator Wm. M. Butler, Republican. Mass., faces an important battle for re-election, the name of the chief executive has been freely used by Republican candidates almost everywhere. The slogan has been: “Stand by the President and elect a Republican' congress.” The outcome is deemed, certain to have an influence upon proposals that he term. Democrats are searching for a hint as to whether the voters have experienced any change of heart since the stunning defeat of the party in the 1924 persidential affair. Leaders of both parties publicly claimed victory. Senator Gerry, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial committee, predicted a democratic senate and Senator Phipps, chairman, of the Republican Senatorial committee said Republicans would hold everything they now have. The house leaders, Chairman Will Wood, Republican, and Oldfield, Democrat, did likewise. But privately both sides were extremely doubtful. Generally Republican and Demo- ( cratic leaders agree that the Democrats should pick up about 4 senate t seats and perhaps 20 in the house. I They have marked the Republican, senatorial candidates in Maryland, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Arizona for defeat. They figure that the Republican Mjre energy/ \ vfill increase your earning ability IT is the red blooded people who win success in this world!

candidates In Massachusetts, Missouri and Illinois tsre skating the edge. But In the other states | they figure that Republicans should | pull through, though many of the races Will be extremely dose. Democratic House gains are expected to be chiefly In New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma and i Illinois, Although candidates of both parties have largely avoided the subject, prohibition is a curbstone Issue In sixteen stares. Eight states are having referendums upon proposals to change existing law. New York, Illinois and Wisconsin are polling upon proposals which would permit! light wines and beer although drys have urged their adherents not to participate. Missouri, Montana. California and Colorado are testing sentiment upon their state enforecent acts and Nevada is voting upon a project calling for a constitutional convention to consider the whole liquor question, z Further, eight Republican and Democratic senatorial candidates are marked as wet or dry opponents and the issue is involved in about 26 contests over representatives seats. There is no possibility tfrnt wets can win either house but their minority representation is expected to be increased. The tariff has been the big talking issue of the campaign. Republicans pointed to the economic condition of
