The republicans gained and the democrats lost one in the house of representatives Tuesday when Dow H. Drukker, republican, was chosen a member of the lower house of congress at a special election. He defeated James J. O’Byrne, democrat.

The vote as given out Tuesday night was as follows: Drukker, republican, 10,469; O’Bryne, democrat, 5,143; Demarest, socialist, 118; Whitehead, progressive, estimated, 600. O’Bryne had the endorsement of President Wilson and able speakers for the administration spoke in his behalf, but the voters gave their support to Drukker. Leading democrats refuse to accept the result as a repudiation to the president.
