The crop of lame ducks" is the
greatest in the recent history of con-
gress. According to the officials at
Republican congressional headquar-
ters here, there will not be less than
IS new faces, both Democratic and
Republican, in the 62nd congress. -,
L'oyd's Statement.
James T. Lloyd, chairman of the
Democratic national congressional
committee, issued the following state
ment:
Present indications are that con-
grees will be Democratic by about IS
majority. Thus far the returns indi-
cate that our prediction estimates
were about correct.
"The causes which have led to the
results of today are we'll known. It
is a serious rebuke to the Republican
party for its failure to reduce the tar
if as the people believed the party
had promised. The high cost of pro.
tected, manufactured articles which
has resulted in greatly increased cost
of living has had very much to do
with producing this result There is
general dissatisfaction with existing
political conditions and with the Re-
publican administration. This has led
to its reputation as far as could be
done at the polls.
''The Democratic party has won a
victory because the only hope of the
people is in it's supremacy.
"The Republican party has shown
by it's course that it will not enact
legislation in the interest of the mass
es when such legislation would be to
the detriment of the classes"
Barnes Statement.
! j. Mahlon Barnes, national secre-
tary Of the Socialist party, issued the
following statement:
'The Socialist party comes out of
the campaign with flying colors and
has made the gain expected-that is
one hundred per cent throughout the
nation.
"The vote in 1908 was 424,0oo. This
will be doubled. About IS members
of state legislatures are now assured
in the states of Ohio, Wisconsin, ILL.,
nois, Minnesota and Massachusetts.
Three congressman are assured, Ber-
ger and Gaylord of Milwaukee, and
Bachman of the Twelfth Ohio district.
California is expected on later re-
turns to quadruple the vote of two
years ago."
Carroll Is Reelected.
The Republicans have elected nine
congressman and the entire state tick
ct headed by Gov. Carroll. The latter's
plurality probably wiz reach 1900.
The Republican state ticket is elect
ed, for Carroll was cut badly by the
progressives. The legislature will be
Republican and probably the progress
i've wing will control. Yet this does
not insure the election of progress
i've Republican to succeed the late
J. P. Dolliver, for the best estimates
show the stand-patters to have bal
.ance of power and in a bitter fight
they might go the Democrats and elect
a Democratic senator.
T. RS Man Beaten.

ELECTION RESULTS.

Overwhelming victories in the i'm
portant doubtful states carried with
them the control of the house of rep
resentatives in the Sixty-second con
gress by majority that may range
anywhere from As to 60. Figures
show enough Democratic gains
throughout the country to leave nc
doubt of the power of the present
minority to organize the next house
with big margin to spare.
The general dissatisfaction over the
tariff law did not serve materially tC
reduce the customary Republican plu
rality In Wisconsin. F. E. McGovern
was elected governor by a plurality
of about 10000.
Among the United States senators
who surely were retired by the recent
election are John Kern of New Jersey
Chauncey M. Depew Of New York, AL
bert ]. Beverage Of Indiana and Ell
msr J. Burkett of Nebraska. The in
cumbents possibly retired in favor OF
Democrats are Henry Cabot Lodge OF
Massachusetts and Charles Dick OF
Ohio.
John A. Dix, Democrat, was elected
governor of New York by plurality
of about $4,000 Henry L. Stimson
for whom Col. Roosevelt stumped the
state, was knitted in the upstate dis.
tr1cts.
Congressman Eugene N. Foss was
elected Governor of Massachusetts by
a plurality over Gov Draper of about
$4,000.
Gov. Harmon, candidate for re-elec.
ton, carried Ohio by close to 100000.
Michigan elected Chase S. Osborn
of Sault Ste. Marie governor by about
$4,000 plurality. The remainder of
the state had even more comfortable
margins.
Indiana went Democratic by a deci.
sive majority, and not only was the
entire state ticket elected, but the
legislature will be Democratic by de.
cisive vote on joint ballot.

WOULD UNSEAT CALEB POWERS.
Kentucky Delegation May Attack
Colleague in House.

Louisville, Kentucky. Reports,
which are freely circulated and neith-
er affirmed nor denied by Democratic
leaders are to the effect that there is
a movement underway to have the
nine Democratic congressman of the
Kentucky delegation make concerted
effort to have Caleb Powers ousted
from his seat as representative of the
Eleventh Kentucky district.
Congress will be asked to deny Pow
ers his seat on the ground that he has
thrice been convicted of felony and
has not been acquitted by jury. Gov
ernor Wilson's pardon, it is contended,
does not have the same effect as an
acquittal on the charge of completely
in the Goebel assassination.

cans. Ohio will send at least II and
possibly IL Democrats to congress.
Surprise In Wisconsin.
The Socialist party will be repre-
sented in the next house of repre-
sentatives by Victor L. Berger of the
Fifth Wisconsin district, his election
being conceded by the Republican
committee. Incomplete returns show
Berger to be leading his opponent,
Henry c. Cochems, insurgent Repub-
lican, by an apparently safe margin.
The Social Democrats elect their
Milwaukee county ticket by between
1000 and 5000. according to the latest
returns.
Democrats Control West Virginia.
The Democratic victory in the First
congressional district assumed the
proportions of landslide. John w.
Davis, DEM, has been elected by a
majority of more than 1000 to sue
coed William P. Hubbard.
Legislative gains throughout the
state seem to indicate that the legis.
lature will be Democratic on joint bal
lot, insuring the defeat of N. B. Scott
Of this city for reelection to the
United States senate.
Montana Is Republican.
Both the republicans and the dem
ocrats claim control of the legislature
which is to elect successor to United
States Senator Thomas H. Carter, the
democrats claiming 81 votes on joint
ballot and the republicans So. Fifty
two are necessary for a choice. Com
plete returns are not available.
