NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS What the Great Democratic Landslide Means and What Caused It. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Business depression, hard times, unemployment, dissatisfaction of the ; farmers with farm relief, local political c< nditions, and hist, but not least, the wet and dry issue, all contributed to the Democratic landslide on election day. The Democrat* de clared the people of the nation had thus registered their emphatic disapproval of the administration of I’resl- " dent Hoover, This the Republicans denied. Take your choice. Nationally, the doings at the polls practically destroyed the Republican control of congress. Unless belated returns chance the figures, the next senate will contain 4S Democrats, 47 Republicans and 1 Earmer-Lalmrite. If the last mentioned. Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota, votes with the Republicans on organization, as he has In the past. Hint party will be able to organize the senate. for Vice President <*urtls would cast the deciding vote. In the house there will be apparently 218 Republicans, 210 Democrats and 1 EarmerLnborlto, which would insure the re election of Nicholas Longworth; but the radical Republicans would hold the balance of power and could continue, now with success, their usual course Zs 'lmmpering the national policies yf their party. Senator Moses, chairman of the Republican senatorial cumpnlgn committee. thus tersely expressed the evident truth: “It Is -early now to forecast any of the Implications of this election. but it is evident that the next two years will contain an amplitude of difficulty for the administration and for Republicans generally.” NJ.iNlk galas of senate scats which ’ the Democrats are sure of nt this writing were made In Massachusetts, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma. South Dtfkota and Colorado, They lost one seat, in lowa, where Representative Dickinson defeated Senator Steck. Three administration senators who were beaten were Allen of Kansas. Itobahm of Kentucky and McCulloch of Ohio. However, two nntl-ndminis (ration senators lost out—Pine of Oklahoma and McMaster of South Dakota and Schall of Minnesota probably can t»e added to this lot. Two administration senators who were victorious in hard tights were Metcalf of Rhode Island and Hastings ofDelaware. Hastings ran ns a'dry In a notoriously wet state, and against him was all the influence the anti-prohibi-tionists could muster, but he decisively beat Thomas F. Pmyurd. former senator, wet and a Democrat. There was much rejoicing among the wets. They elected five now wet senators: Lewis of Illinois, Bulkley,of Ohio, Coolidge of Massachusetts,' Hoidale of Minnesota and (lore of Oklahoma, and they claim Metcalf of Rhode Island will vote wet. limvro-r. three drys raplace as many Dickinson of lowa, Huey Long of LouIsiana and White of Maine. As for the lower house, the wets claimed a gain of about TO members. Os course the drya will continue to control both bouses by heavy majorities, but the leaders of the wets assert the election presages the eventual repeat of the Eighteenth s amendment. Ib.ny «»t majorities were shown In each of the three states. Illinois. Rhode. Island and Ma sachusetts. vatere there were referendum votes on various phases of'the prohibition question. SOME of the election results were *l>ectacular. For Instance, In New York state Franklin D. Roosevelt. Democrat, was re-elected governor by the unprecedented plurality of 725.000 votes, completely swamping his Republican rival, Charles N. Tuttle. The “Happy Warrior” thus becomes the outstanding figure of the Democratic party and n potential candidate for the iTesidentlal nomination in 1932. He supplants Al Smith as a getter of Empire state votes la»th metropolitan and rural. Thera was a Tammany tidal wave in New York city, but Mrs. Ruth Pratt. Republican, was re-elect-ed to congress, defeating her Tammany rival, and Heywood Broun, columnist and Socialist; and Representative La Guardia, also Republican, retained his seat. James Hamilton Lewis, picturesque and able Democrat, swept Illinois like a prairie fire, having a plurality for the senatorship of about 720,000 over

Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican, who straddled the liquor Issue, and Mrs. O’Neill, independent dry, who was a very jxx>r third. This was the climax of one of the most interesting campaigns In the country. The Democrats also captured almost all the oflu tjs in the state and in Cook county, which includes Chicago. Pennsylvania clung to its rockribbed Republicanism and Gifford Pinchot. radical and ardently dry Republican nominee for the governorship. was elected <lespite the defection of many of the party leaders and the adverse vote of Ohio seemed to. Indicate its wet&eMl by clettfTig Robert J. Bulkley. wet Democrat, to the senate; but on the other hand George White, Democrat, who was < hoseu governor. Is a dry. Wisconsin, as usual, went La Follette, electing young Philip F. of that family Rs governor. Like Iris brother. Senator Ln Follette, he is nominally a Republican. Democrats "of Indiana elected nine congressmen.' to four Republicans; among the latter is tl.e veteran Will R. Wood who has represented the Tenth district for many years. Mrs. Otis T. Wingo of Arkansas easily won the seat in congress held by her late husband. THERE wiu’be no sorrow in Washington or the country at large over the elimination of Senator J. Thomas - Heil in of Alabama. Forced from the liemocratic party because he opi»ored Al Smith two yeara ugo, he ran for re election ns nn Independent and was thoroughly beaten by John Bankhead, the Democratic nominee. His peculiar role in the senate, as the source of sensational news stories, may be partly taken by Huey P. lamg of Ixmisiana. Mr. Long intimates that be will complete his term as governor of his state before taking his seat in the senate. Among the new senators of quite different caliber will be Dwight W. Morrow who. v.as J lectetl by New .h r sey Republicans; Secretary of Labor Davis, sent to the senate by Republicans of Pennsylvania, and Robert J. I Bulkley, the choice of Ohio DemoI. crats. Mr. Morrow and Mr. Bulkley, | both wets, are looked on as presidential legibilities two years hence. Thomas J. Walsh. Montana's veter- . nn senator, was returned to the upper house, but he had no easy time defeating Judge Albert Galen, the Republican aspirant. California escaped the Democratic flood and James Rolpli, Jr., known sometimes as “Sunny Jim" and sometimes as San Francisco’s perennial mayor, captured the governorship with little ilifticuliy. Nebraska’s new governor is Charles W. Bryan, brother of William Jennings I’.ryan. H<“ held the office once belore ami v. as the I‘eiiiocratic vice presidential nominee in 1924. He defeated Gov, Arthur Weaver by a rather narrow nuirgin. COMMENT by some of the party leaders Is Interesting as representing widely divergent views detrending ou party affiliation. Chairman Fess of the Re|>ublinin national committee said no outstanding issues controlled the results, which ho viewed as a “crazy quilt." It was to be exjiected, he added, that the Republicans would lose 35 seats even without the disturbance caused by the economic depression. John J. Raskob, Democratic, national chairman, termed’ the I>em»cratic sweep a “notable victory ou clean-cut |x»liticat issues." He announced he would do everything in his power to have the Democratic party view the tariff as an economic rather than a political question, "thus removing from business minds all cause for alarm and uncertainty as to how busines.-. will be treated In the event that this election and future ejections give control of congress to our party." Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national committee, asserted that "everything considered, the result must he taken as a vindication of the national administration.'* Explaining thia he said no administration bad ever gone into a conelection under such adverse conditiens. The results, he added, were ■convincing evidence of the abiding faith of the thinking people of the country in the leadership of Herbert Hoover.", The view of Jouett Shouse, chair-’ man of the l>emocratic national executive committee, was: “The I>emocratic campaign was •conducted on the Issue of the failure of the administration to meet Its re, sponsibility and carry out the promisee on which it obtained election two years ago. Embraced In a subsidiary to this tnain theme were such items as the enactment of «n indefensible tariff and the breakdown of the farmrelief plan of the administration, which had pledged Itself to rehabilitate the agricultural industry.”

VI 7 HILE the representatives of 32 ’ ’ nations were gathering at Geneva for the conference of the League of Nations’ preparatory disarmament commission, efforts were being made to bring about an agreement between France and Italy without which the parley would admittedly be futile. American Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson took the lead in this attempt to get the two nations together and after conversations in Rome and Paris he announced that France had formally, agreed to resumption of its naval negotiations with Italy. These were to be strictly secret and held during the sessions of the commission. It was umlerstood in Paris the Italians had consented to bring forward the. actual figures of their proposed building program for comparison of those of France, and that there was a chance of an agreement based on strategic needs and building capacity in with such questions as parity being excluded. Dispatches from Rome, on the other hand, said Italy had made no fresh offers for settlement of the matter and ’that Frame must take the initiative. The Italians still insist on parity with France, and the French still reject that proposition. ryiSCOVERY of nn alleged plot to the Fascist government of Italy has resulted in the arrest of many former libera) and conservative leaders. Including Bortolo Belotti, former cabinet member. Details of the conspiracy have not been announced, but it’was reported the prisoners include several prominent educators, military leaders, ami war heroes. All those arrested deny knowledge of the plot, which, according io the charges against them, would indicate the most serious reaction against the Fascist regime since its beginning. IN FORMAL ceremonies lasting but a few minutes. Dr. Getulio Vargas assumed office as provisional President of Brazil, and immediately announced the members of his cabinet, all the factions of the revolutionary movement being represented. His minister of finance is Jose Maria Whitaker, of English descent, who has been a strong opponent of Washington Luis’ coffee marketing scheme. His appointment means the certain reorganization of the government’s financial policy, and especially the revocation of artificially sustained coffee values. Vargas will rule Brazil virtually as a dictator until things have been stabilized, and for the present he will do without a congress. His government was recognized last weAk by the United States. tz , /’’’OL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH is V 4 establish.ng his new country Estate near Princetori, N. J.

The others were brought out alive and taken to hospitals, many of them seriously burned. The disaster occurred Just after an inspection party had descended to the lower levels, and all its members were among the dead.* They Included William Tytnx, president of the company; Howard Upson, field manager; Hubert loincaster, chief engineer, aud other officials. The terrible accident took the Uvea ot a considerable percentage of the little village of Millfield. It was estimated that approximately 300 children were left fatherless, but there was a ray of hope for the dependent families left destitute. Gov. Myers T. Cooper ordered representatives of the industrial relations department to forget “red tape" and arrange for immediate payment of workmen’s compensation funds.

Recalling a Case of Doughboy Nerve I was attendant in a hospital in France and a doctor who had just been relieved from front line duty was dressing a patient who had lost both legs, and recognized him as a man he had attended at the front. The doctor turned to me and stated: “Delaney, this fellow has more nerve than any man I’ve ever seen. 1 crawled to him one flight on the Meuse-Argonne front and found him sitting in the mud with one leg un deriw»ath him and one dangling on the side- I gave him an antitetanus and found both legs so near amputated by a shell fragment that there was nothing holding them hut the tendons. I opened my Instrument bag and severed the tendons from the left leg and started bandaging the stub. When about half through the man asked me to hurry, as several of his buddies were laying around calling for help. He. had picket! up my scalpel and severed the few tendons and remaining flbsh that held his other leg on. arid asked me If there was anything else that he could do to hurry my work so that; some of iris comrades could be relieved. That's what 1 call nerve." The patient only smiled as the doctor talked on to me. and then remarked : “It hurts worse now than it did then, doctor."—Rudicel Delaney. Five Hundred and Forty-third Engineers, V. W. F. Rat-Catching Snake Valued by Farmer That snakes come in handy is evident from an experience that recently befell Sergt. William Mason of the Fifteenth district, Paul and Kuan streets, Frankford. Sergeant Mason.! who is a noted automobile traveler, was in Maryland and stopped at the; home of a farmer friend.' The! farmer took his visitor around the! buildings and they 'were leaning against the corn crib when the police' sergeant noticed a large snake, black as the ace of spa<les and about six feet long, upon h bench that was in a corner where the grain was kept. “Great patrol wagons, l<»ok at that!” Mason exclaimed, pointing to the reptile, which was evidently taking a snooze in the warm sun. “Oh. that’s Bob.” the fanner replied. “He’s very useful here, for he catches every rat that conies around. I wouldn’t In all the world have any thing happen to Boh.” When he had spoken the husbandman went into the corn crib and. taking a sugar-goodie out of his pocket, placed it in the snake’s half-open mouth. The sweet stuff must have been up predated by Mr. Snake, for he wriggled’ his tail in evident enj<>yment shot out his fangs a couple of times and then went fast asleep again. As the farmer pointed out, though, Bob was sleeping with one eye open With the one optic he was watch Ing for rats.—Philadelphia Record Sound Sleeper While a guest nt a Watsontown (Pa.} inn, Harold McNutt, of Balti more, slept for almost an hour un mindful of a fire in the ma'ttress under him.
