Of the 10 Senators whose terms expire on
the 4th of March next, 10 are Wings, and
Democrats. The places of three Wings and
one Democrat have been already supplied, as
follows:
MA1NE.--J. w. Bradbury, Dem. in place of
Evans, Wing.
New HAMPsHIRE.--John p. Hale, non
descript, in place of CIllcy, Wing
LoUfs1ANA--S. U. Downs, Dem, in place
of Barrow, Wing.
MISSISSIPPI Stuart Foote, Dem, in
place of Chalmers, Dem.
Wing Legislatures have been elected in r.
Island, Kentucky and North Carolina, (which
last State chooses two Senators, one for the
new term, and one to fill vacancy,l and
Democratic Legislatures in Arkansas, Illinois
and Virginia. This of course determines the
politics of the Senators to be elected by those
States respectively.
The Legislatures of Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Delaware. will probably be Wing,
and those of South Carolina, (which elects two
Senators, one for the new term, and one to fill
a vacancy,1 Alabama, Michigan, Texas, and
Iowa, Democratic. Iowa being just erected
into State, will of course elect two Senators.
Georgia and Tennessee may be considered
doubtful
According 10 these statements and calcula-
tons, the Senate, at the commencement of the
new term, 9TH of March, 1917, will stand as
| follows:
Wigs. Denis
Hold over, 10 %
Already elected, 3
Legislatures already elected will
| choose 3
Massach., n Jersey, and Del, 3
S. Carolina, 0wo) Ala, Mich,
Texas, and Iowa, two) Z
| 10 So
To which are to be added the non-descrpt
Senator from New Hampshire, (Mr Hale,) a
Senator from Georgia, and another from Ten
nessee. Total So Should Wisconsin &C
cept the overture of Congress for her admis-
sion into the Union as a State, two more Sen
ators must be added, probably Democratic,
making total of so, of whom about 20 will
be Wings, and 40 Democrats Or, 10 make a
long story short one, it may be calculated
that for at least two years from the 4th of
March next, the u S. Senate will be Demo-
cratic in the proportion of two to one. Rather
poor prospect, we are thinking, for the res
toration of the Tariff of 1912.
