REVISED LIST
OF NEXT HOUSE
By John SNURR.

,
Many Of the prominent members OF
the House fell victims to the on
slaughts Of the Democrats last Tues
day.
While the Republicans remain in
safe control of the House, with 2Is
members TO 173 for the Democrats, a
Republican plurality OF IS, this fact
did not prevent some OF the leading
figures on the Republican side from
going down 70 defeat Prominent fg-
ures on the Democratic side also were
beaten.
Most conspicuous in the list OF those
that have been retired to private life
is Col. William Peters Hepburn, OF
the Eighth Iowa district. The defeat
Of 'Uncle Pete" was one OF the sur
prises Of the election. 1t was known
that he had hard fight on his hands
and that his opponent W. D. jamie
son, was making an earnest and eff
fective canvass.
Had Many Fights.
AT the same time Colonel Hepburn
had Deen bitterly fought so often, and
had so many times pulled through a
winner, that most of his friends TO
Washington believed he would do so
this time. 1t is likely this means that
after serving in the House for The rest
OF his present term, Colonel Hepburn
viii never aga Il rs-enter public life. as
ne is now seventy-iye years Of age.
In fact, yesterday was mis- seventy-fifth
birthday, and he was compelled TO cele-
brate il with the reception OF returns
indicating his defeat.
The fact that Colonel Hepburn will
retire from Congress Is important in
several directions II points to the in
Creasing strength OF the Cummins
forces in Iowa. 1t means that a new
chairman viii have to be selected in the
next Congress tor thst highly impor-
tant committee of the House, Interstate
ana Foreign Commerce. IT means. also,
that the Republican high tariff forces
in the House Will be deprived OF one OF
their stanchest members, at a time
when they viii need his services.

Colonel Hepburn is the only Repub-
aican candidate for Congress from Iowa

without conspicuous company. The
strength OF the Democratic forces in

spelled disaster TO Representative Jesse
OVerstreet. one Of the abIest members
on the Republican side OF the House
and one OF the strongest members OF
the Cannon regime.
AtT. Overstreet has been conspicuous
as the chairman of thu House Commit
Tee on Postoflces and Postroads, and ne
has given able service to his party while
acting in this capacity Mr.. Overstreet
was beaten by young lawyer, Charles
A. kOrby. He was beaten, moreover,
not through any fault of his own. but
because OF the fact the county admins

when Mrs. James B. Eustis posed, rep
