ELECTION GIVES REPUBLICANS WHIP HAND IN CONGRESS

EIGHT SEATS IN SENATE, SCORE IN HOUSE WON Landslide Crushing Blow to Democrats; Veterans Lose Berths. INSURGENT GRIP BROKEN Edwards, Gerry, Bayard and Bruce Among Those to Pass On. BY PAUL R. MAI,. ON l nitcd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. B,—Republicans will hold a definite whip hand in congress as result of the Tuesday election, United Press returns showed today. The Hoover landslide swept aside many veteran Democratic congressmen in both senate and the house and the President-Elect wfil take office with a congress aligned to his policies. He will have even a greater majority than the Republican congress during the Coolidge administration. Returns this morning indicated the new congress would find the Republicans with eight more seats in the Senate and perhaps twenty more in the mouse than the majority they held in the last congress. This will give them a definite margin. .. Insurgents Lose Grip The chief result of this lineup will be that the balance of power n olonger will rest with the Republican insurgents of the midwest. Their strength had been such that they could vote with the Democrats to stave off Republican legislation and many times in the course of the last congress their votes succeeded in bringing about paralysis of important legislation. The Hoover landslide apparently has carried away with it many familiar figures of the senate. Senator Peter G. Gerry of Rhode island apparently was defeated by Judge Felix Hebert. Senator Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey was defeated by Hamilton S. Kean his Republican opponent. Senator Thomas F. Bayard (Dem., Del.) also was defeated. Senator David Bruce, Maryland, .was defeated by a Republican, T. A. Goldsborough. Republican Succeeds Reed There even will be a Republican senator from Missouri to replace Senator James A. Reed, who has announced his retirement from politics. Roscoe C. Patterson (Rep.) apparently has defeated Charles M. Hay (Dem.) candidate for Reed’s Many of the eastern Democrats were listed as w'ets and their defeat could be considered as strengthening the dry majority of the senate. Two contests remained in doubt this morning for senate posts, those in Washington and We&t Virginia. In the former state Senator Dill (Dem.) is leading slightly over Kenneth D. Mackintoch, while in West Virginia Senator Neely (Dem.) appears to have been defeated by Henry D. Hatfield (Rep.).

RASKOB WILL REMAIN CHIEF OF DEMOCRATS Not Fair to Quit Now, He Says; Elected for Four Years. Bii United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 8.-s John J. Raskob, the financier who made his first acquaintance with national politics in the campaign just ended, intends to stick to his post as chairman of the - Democratic national committee. "I do not think it would be fair to the partyifor me to retire from the chairmanship at the present juncture,’ ’he said. “I was elected for four years.” Raskob’s business plans for the Immediate future remain undecided, he said, but he will not resume his former office as finance chairman of the General Motors Corporation. The first task before him, Raskob said, will be to clear away the 1 indebtedness incurred by the party during the campaign. The national committee has spent < more than $2,000,000, he said, in excess of receipts. The chairman hopes to erase this sum from the books in the next four years so that the party may start preparations for the 1932 campaign free from debt. Raskob said he was at a complete loss to account for the Republican landslide. ‘‘Before I make up my mind about what caused it, I would like to see the total popular vote,” he said. “When the final figures become available, we will know a great deal better what they indicate.”

Curtis planned to attend to personal business neglected during his campaign and said he had made no other plans. Curtis arose at 6:30 a. m., his usual hour and ate an early breakfast. He told newspaper men he felt much in need of a rest and after disposing of his personal business would take a vacation. He made no comment on Herbert Hoover’s proposed plan of a special session of congress to obtain farm relief but after noticing a flock of sheep on an Indiana farm, said: “There soon will be more of them in the country.” There was only the usual traveling crowd at the station and none of Curtis’ many friends were on hand to greet him.

JURY iiCISION NEAR ON FATE OF ASSASSIN Obregon Slayer Calm as He Awaits Verdict; Nun Is Nervous. By United Press MEXICO CITY, Nov. B.—Some time today Jose De Leon Toral probably will know whether he is to die before a firing squad for the assassination of President-Elect Alvaro Obregon. The trial of Toral and Mother Superior Concepcion, who is accused of being the intellectual author of the killing of the former president, moved into its last stages today. Arguments are to be made before the jury, after which the verdict is expected. The defense has little hope that Toral will escape the fate that most of the assassins in Mexico’s turbulent history have met. Demetrio Sodi, chief counsel for the young draughtsman who admitted killing Obregon, said he expected the jury to return the death verdict against Toral. He also expected the nun to receive the most serious punishment possible for her—twenty years’ imprisonment. However, Sodi said that if the verdict was for the death sentence he would appeal to the supreme court. Toral remained calm. His face is paled by the weeks of imprisonment, but he has withstood the trial ordeal and the one violent outburst —when Obregonistas rushed the courtroom shouting for his life—with a calmness that approached the martyrdom he has sought to assume. The nun, on the other hand, Is beginning to show signs of nervousness. Ever since her arrest she has indicated a desire to die rather than go to prison.
