SUMMARY OF THE ELECTION
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE
HOUSE Is "A.
This Is Five More Than the Repub-
licans Had Four Years
AGO.

Washington, D. C.-Final analysis
of the returns from the states praces
the republican majority in the house
of representatives at A. This repre-
sents a democratic gain of "a mem
bers we their representation in the
last congress. 1t places the total
democratic membership at III, and
the republican membership at 215.
This is five more members than the
| republicans had in the Ffty-eighth
congress four years ago.
The majority may be reduced to AZ,
since one district in Ohio is reported
as in doubt and probably democratic.
The democrats still have hopes of get
ting the Twenty-fourth Illinois, where
Bob" Williams Is the democratic can
didate. If Williams should be elected,
the figure would be brought down to
40.
The democrats lose two seats In the
s~enate-those in Montana and Colo
RADIO, now held by William A. Clark
and Thomas M. Patterson, respective
ly. The most remarkable senate fight
was that won in Idaho by Senator
Fred Dubois (dem.), who will be the
only democratic senator from a state
entirely north of the Mason and Dixon
line. The change will leave the dem.
ocrats 81 members in the senate,
while the republicans will have So,
one short of a two-thirds majority.
The democratic gain in the house
is distributed through the country. Il
linois contributes S more democrats to
the Sixtieth than to the Fifty-nintb
congress, Indiana 3, Iowa 2, Mime
sofa l, Missouri Z, Nebraska l, New
Jersey 8, New York l, North Caro-
lima 1, Ohio 4 or 5, Pennsylva-
MIA 5, and Wisconsin /; a total of "a
or IS, according to the outcome in the
doubtful Ohio district.
Chairman James S. Griggs, of the
democratic congressional committee,
comedies the election of a republican
house, and admits that the majority
will be around 40.
!, Democrats find some consolation in
| the defeat Of Representative Babcock
in Wisconsin, McCleary in Minnesota
, and Wadsworth in New York, all Of
whom were prominent republican
members. McCleary was particularly
conspicuous as a stand-pat tariff man,
, and the fact will be loudly proclaimed
as the occasion of his downfall.
, A long train of visitors went to the
! white house to congratulate the pres
ident upon the republican success in
New York and the congressional cleo
:. ton. The republicans assert that the
result is a vote of confidence in the
administration and the president.
Chanier Apparently Elected.
New York-With the official vote
& of but three counties missing, Lewis
d Stuyvesant Chanler apparently is
l. elected lieutenant governor on the

b. votes over M. Linn Bruce, republican
To arrive at these figures, Bruce's
probable pluralities in the counties o.
r. Essex, Ontario and Niagara are baset
on the vote for the republican guberna
