WASHINGTON, Nov. "A point that has
been overlooked in computing the political
complexion of the next Senate Is the admis-
sion Of Utah with two Urited States Sena-
tors. The act of the last session of Con-
gress admitting Utah provides that in
March, 1895, the constitutional convention
shall be held. On the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November the Consti-
tuition is to submitted to the people. and IL
ratified and found by the President 10 be
in accordance with the act he will issue .
proclamation admitting IL as a state. The
act also provides that Representative TO
the Fifty-fourth Congress shall be elected
at the same time the vote is taken on the
Constitution: also. that State officers and .
Legislature shall be chosen. and that IL the
Constitution is ratified the Legislature shall
Immediately meet and elect two United
States Senators. AS there is about a month
from the time the election is held until the
Fiftyfourth Congress meets there viii be
ample time to have all the formalities COM
piled with and Utah proclaimed State
in time for its Senators and Representatives
to participate in the organization of the
next Congress- This would make In all
ninety Senator's. and. as the next Senate
now stands, the politics of the Utah Sena-
tors would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission Of both New Mexico and Arizona,
which may be accomplished in time 50 that
four more Senators would participate in the
organization of the next Senate. Bills have
already passed the House for the admis-
sion of both these Territories. The Senate
committee on Territories has reported them
favorably TO the Senate, and they are now
on the calendar. Senators OF both parties
have been urging their passage. and II is
more than likely that neither party would
oppose them, because of the effect it would
have upon the elections, as the people are
anxious for admission and would resent op-
position by any party to that end. Ii Is
therefore quite likely that the battle for the
control of the Senate will yet be fought out
in Utah. New Mexico and Arizona next
year. The admission of these new States
would make a total OF ninety-four Senators.
and any party TO control would need forty
eight for majority With the Vice Presi-
dent the Democrats could control the Sem
ate with forty-seven Senators.
