and SO the election of Democrats.
In the entire list there were only
two changes in political complexion
and both were favorable to the Ike
publicanS The Democrats lost the llth
Pennsylvania to the Republican nomi-
nee. Henry w. Palmer. who defeated
John BigeloW and thus becomes the
successor of Mr.. Lenahan, the present
Democratic member. The Republicans
also gained the Sd Wisconsin district
which was lost to Joseph w. Babcock
two wears ago Mr.. Babcock was de-
feated by James w. Murphy. and Mr..
Murphy now appears to nave gone
down before Arthur j. Kopp. the Re-
publican nominee.
Comparatiyely few of the districts
which were close in 1906 have been
heard from, but 50 far as reports nave
been received they indicate that each
party is generally holding it's own. II
seems quite certain that the Republi-
cans will again control the House ana

Later returns indicate the election
of two Republicans from North Caro-

present represented by Messrs. Hack

were elected by small majorities in

divided, three Republicans and three
Democrats. The Democrats are finding
