Meyer Luminn. the only Socialist in the House, was defl ated by Iteprescntative Seigel, a Democrat running with Republican support, but the Socialists elected Victor Berger from Wisconsin, a- former member of the House, under indictment charges of violating the espionage law.

former Secretary of the Navy and now

a lieutenant commander in that service, was elected over the auto manufacturer, who made the race, he said, at the command of the President, by a majority of close to 50,000. Senator Shafroth of Colorado and Senator Saulsbury of Delaware have been defeated by their Republican opponents. In Colorado the Republicans have placed Lawrence Fhlpp? in Sharroth's eeat by a majority of about 2,500. In Delaware the Republican factfdns got together behind Dr. L. Hoisler Ball, a former United States senator, and put him into Saulsbury's place by a majority of about 1.000. Saulsbury's defeat was surprising. He was a personal friend of President Wi.son. President Wilson's appeal to New Jersey voters to send Geqrge M. La Monte and Charles O'Connor Hennessey to the United States senate failed. Governor Edge defeated La Monte' for

"On. i ELECTION UNPRECEDENTED. ! From many joiius of view the election was unprecedented. Manifestations of interest were comparatively few, although the vote was fairly lurge. liepublicans were buoyantly confident because oi their belief that their larger showing of voters on the registration lif t would manifest itself in a heavy Re- ' publican vote, and their hopes were

realized especially on the North Side wards of Indianapolis. OOTESNOB IS PLEASED. Governor Goodrich received the returns at republican stnte headquarters in the Hotel Severin. and showed keen interest in the early returns. Most of the republican state officials, who are candidates for re-election, received returns at the Severin. As the returns came from Indianapolis, indicating a sweep toward the republicans beyond anything the most sanguine party workers had predicted, a smile of satisfaction spread over the fa':es of the men assembled there. SHOW TREND TOWARD O. O. P, Returns from scattering precincts in the state gave evidence toward the republicans and early in the night, on the basis of figures from precincts in widely scattered portions of the state, the prediction that the state ticket would be carried by 4 0.000 to 50.000 was offered.

Republicans went to bed happy last night. This morning they were Jubilant and as the news of growing republican victories began to seep in over the wires, their enthusiasm knew no bounds. WILSON DID IT HIMSELF. "Wilson's appeal to th country to put the republican party out of business is what did it," said one prominent Lake county republican this morning. That seemed to be the drift in sentiment. For the first time in two weeks members'of the party were not fighting mad this morning. They started to clean up when politics was not "adjourned" and they have been cleaning up ever since. Good reports came from Lake Michigan to the Kankakee river. A democratic spot In Lake county was darned hard to find. The Creek townships rolled up a civil war "Union Forever" majority. OTHER SECTIONS HAVE SAME STORY. The north end of the county did Just as well. Gary gives an 800 majority, giving Will Wood 560 plurality with 3 precincts missing. Hammond has about 300 to the good. East Chicago nearly a thousand.
