Stubbs Is Happy.
W R. Stubs said this morning to
q a II
er the long distance phone from his
home in Lawrence: !.
81 never felt better in my life than
do this morning. 1t is a great VIC
tory, and decisive one. The fight
was conducted Clearly and fairly by
the Republicans. 1 am greatly pleas
ed at the, decisive control of the leg
islature by the Republicans. 1 came
out of this campaign feeling better
physically, morally and intellectually
than I ever did in my life.
The best news that have had
since I heard that Kansas had gone
Republican, continued Mr.. Stubbs,
is that Hadley has carried Missouri
for governor. That is a splendid VIC
tory for decent government"
j. l. Bristow also called up head
quarters this morning and was in a
jubilant state of mind.
IT didn't know for sure how the
legislature would como out last
night" he said, "but am certain to-
day. The majority gets more decisive
all the time"
Mr.. Bristow had the state commit
tee tell him all the counties which
had been reported to them. and he, in
turn, gave them the counties which
had been reported to him.
Chairman J. n. Dolley said this af-
ternoon: 1.-The Republicans now have
81 votes sure on a joint ballot and
when we hear from the rest of these
missing districts, it is my guess that
we will have from los votes to ITO
votes on a joint. ballot. We will con-
troll each branch of the legislature by
a good working majority
Tuesday night nearly all the returns
received at Republican headquarters
were fragmentary, but today the COM
plete counties commenced to come in.
BY Thursday, the state committee will
begin to be able to figure out the exact
majority obtained by Stubs and Taft.

on a joint ballot this gives the Re
publicans 81 sure votes with 80 doubt
full districts to hear from.
At the last session, the Democrats
had 35 votes on a joint ballot. They
will probably have about so votes at
the coming session.
The control of the legislature by
such a decisive majority insures the
election of Joseph L. Bristow to the
United States senate.
Further than that 1t gives to w. r.
Stubs a legislature which will be
friendly in both branches. The state
senate is completely changed in char
acter. Nearly all of the old members
of the senate lodge" have been re-
tired, and the members who are in
their places are considered to be most
ly "progressives."
Returns received at Republican
headquarters show that the following
Republican members of the legislature
have been elected:
