THE UNITED STATES eENATE
Il viii Be Republican BY About Six
teen Majority.
Washington, Nov. s. The next
United States senate will be Republi
can by at least 16 majority, against
the present majority of 20. The pres
ent senate contains 81 Republicans ant
"a Democrats. in a total Of 80 seats
there being two vacancies from Della
ware, where the Republican Legislature
failed to elect. The terms of 80 sen
ators expire with the present con
gress. There is also a vacancy from
Michigan, caused by the death Of Sen
ator Mcmillan. OF these 81 seats t
be filled, not including the two from
Delaware, but including the Mcmillan
vacancy, 10 are now Republican anC
IL are Democratic, Wellington, O
Maryland being classified as Repub
lican and Harris, Of Kansas Nc
Laurin, OF South Carolina, and Teller
of Colorado, as Democrats. Four Demo
Gratis and three Republicans, therefore
already are elected, leaving 16 Repub
lican and eight Democratic seats t.
be filled.
The legislature in Oregon Is Repub
lican Including Delaware, therefore
rs senators will be elected by the legis
latures chosen yesterday. or these tn
Republicans carried 13 and the Demo
Gratis seven. This insures 81 Republi
cans and "a Democrats in the next sen
ate. The result of the contests, owinl
| to the meagre returns, is still in doub
in Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Colorado
with the chances favoring the election
of Democratic legislatures in Colorado
Idaho and Nevada, and Republican
legislature in Utah. If these probabili
ties should be realized the senate will
stand SO Republicans and 81 Demo
Gratis, loss Of four majority for tn
Republicans, compared with the pres
ent political division.
Against this abnormal situation Sen
ator McLaurin appeals. He does no
ask the white men Of South Carolin'
to Join the Republican party. He rec
ognizes that the social prejudic
against the very name Is too strong
But he does ask them not to exclud
from their consideration the most i'm
portant and vital economic Issues o
the day merely because the Republican
party first took up these issues an
made them national.
That Senator McLaurin will succee
in thus reorganizing the Democrat
party Of his state is doubtful. He ha
the right idea, but appears to lack tn
force to realize it with himself as lead
er. Yet his is an idea that in time mus
prevail, and, though he may exper
ence personal defeat, his work will liv
on and be fruitful in the end.-Chicag
