washington, Nov. 9. President
Roosevelt is assured OF the co-opera-
ton of a Republican congress. The
present Republican majority in that
body is "a. and there need be no sur
prise If this figure is almost doubled.
and it is reasonably certain TO reach
a majority of at least so. In practically
all districts the Republicans have
held their own, while in some signifi-
cant instances the Democrats have
lost Probably the most marked OF
these cases are the fourth and fifth
districts OF California (San Francisco),
now represented by Representatives
