WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-While Wash
ington manifests no surprise over the
result of the election, there were very
few, even of the most sangulne repub-
whelming character, This IS especial
" true of the two houses of congress.
Many here were prepared for the most
decided Endorsement of President
Roosevelt. They did not, as rule,
however, consider a 1t possible a;n mat me me
house of representatives, much less hold
their own in the senate, where the pre-
ponderance Of retiring republicans was
great. Both these results seem to have
been accomplished.
If the republicans have carried the
Montana Legislature, as they seem with,
out question to have done, they will
elect a republican to succeed Senator
Gibson and thus cancel the election OF

Gain in Senate. 1ss5 <'...'
If the complete figures should sup
port these conclusions the present ma
jority of twenty-four in the senate will
be increased to twentyslx.= Ehe situa-
ton at least warrants the statement
that the present large republican excess
In that BODY will be maintained.
Much personal concern is expressed
over the possible defeat Of Senator
Cockrell, who has been in the senate so
long that Washington regards him as
practically one Of her residents. He
came to the senate in 1877, and next to
Senator Allison holds the record for the
longest continuous senatorial service.
The result with refernece to the sem
ate is considered as going far towards
time in the future.
Control Of House.
Republicans are claiming that the
complete returns will give them control
of the house by not less than eighty
votes and the tendency Of the vote in
the close districts appears to Justify
this calculation. This is more than
double the present majority and is more
than the boldest of them claimed prior
to the election.
Chairman Cowherd, who is himself
among the fallen, conceded defeat in the
house as early as s o'clock last night,
but he remained at his post, at demo
~ cratic headquarters, until 7 o CLOCK this
morning. receiving news of his own de-
feat before leaving for his home. He
made no comment beyond saying that
he had been able to give no attention
to his district in the campaign.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 9.-Reports

Late reports also leave not the slight
est doubt that Pierre has won in the
capital fight by from 10000 to $4,000
majority. The vote in several coun{
ties on this question was somewhat OF
a surprise to all concerned. Mime

the usual democratic plurality was cut

Complete returns show that st. Louis
has gone republican with the exception
that she rallied for Joseph w. Folk,
democrat, with plurality Of over
10000.
One Of the bardest-fought political
contests in the election was that for
secretary of state. The, city returns
show that Samuel B. Cook, democrat
and incumbent of the office, is defeated
by John E. Swanger by a plurality of
1922.
The national ticket result in st. Louis
was close. but ,Roosevelt's plurality is
2,036, the vote being, Roosevelt, 55,056;
Parker, 5000.
It seems probable that the day will
have drawn to close before complete
returns from the state are in. However,
indications are that the legislature will
be republican by two or three votes
on Joint ballot. The legislature will
elect Q successor to United States Sen
ator Cockrell.
The prosecution and wedding out of
