WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit looks at present
writing as if the election Of Tuesday might
not have changed in the least the COM
plexion of the next United States Senate.
Eighteen members of the Senate will leave
that body on the expiration of their terms
next March-eleven Republicans and seven
Democrats The Republicans are Dawes,
of Massachusetts; Hawley, of Connecticut;
Miller, of New York; Mitchell, of Pennsyl-
vania; Sewell, Of New Jersey; Conger, of
Michigan; Harrison, of Indiana; Sawyer, of
Wisconsin, Mcmillan of Minnesota; Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, and Williams Of Cali
fornia. The Democrats are: Gray, of
Delaware; Jones, of Florida; Fair of Ne
vada; Whitthorne, of Tennessee; MaXey,
of Texas; Camden, of West Vir-
ginia, and Cockrell, Of Missouri 1t is
not obvious that any of these eighteen men
have been thrown out Of their seats by the
election OF Tuesday. Two are in doubt, and
they are Republicans-Sewell, of New Jer-
sey, and Mcmillan, of Minnesota Some
others, indeed, may not be returned, but if
superseded it will be by men of their own
party faith.
