InSurgent Republicans | the Senate Wil Aid

 r
BALANCE OF POWER IS
 HELD IN HE SENATE
From the Present Outlook LegisIation HII1 Have Free Swing in the House and VIII Not He Blocked
 in the Senate
B1 RALPH wHrTEsIDE

Washington, November 12.--cSpe- ciaI Legislation in the next Congress will be largely dominated by the in surgent republicans. That is one of the most interesting and significant results of Tuesdays election. While the democrats will have an overwhelming majority in the House and have mads heavy gains in the Senate, in order to send legislation to the President they must gain the support of at least a part of the insurgent group In the Senate
 In the Senate the lnsurgent repub- licans will be;
 cummins and his colleague do bs eiected) from Iowa.
 Bristow of Kansas.
 LaFollette of Wisconsin
 Clapp and Nelson of Minnesota
 Gronna of North Dakota.

 Bourne of Washington and Dixon of Montana, both of whom showed a ten- dency toward insurgency at the last session, and who are believed to have given assurances that they will for sake the old guard leadership to cast their lot with the progressives
 With the democrats in control of tho House, it is considered extremely doubt full if any member of that party in the Senate will dare to go to the rescue nf the republican leaders. a performance which has not been at all unusual during the past two years, Assuming, therefore, that the Senate democrats will vote solid " and consistently to support the bills passed by democratic House the insur- gent republicans will find themselves in the position Of court of last resort, aI- ways excepting, of course the possibility Of a veto at the hands of President Taff
 Many of these insurgents republicans have made no secret of their intention 10 work with the democrats in passing leg islation which has been frowned upon by the old guard Of both houses in the past It Is apparent, therefore. that instead of the Sxty-second Congress entering upon deadlock. with the result that no legislation will be enacted, there will be far more legislation of a really progress sive nature than it was possible to enact into law during the last session of Con gress when insurgent republicans in the House and Senate were at the height of their power.
 1t has been a cardinal doctrine of ths insurgents that the tariff must be revised downward, and this also has been the democratic war cry, 1t is regarded as cer- tain there will be important tariff legis- lstion during the next Congress.
 There are indications that there will bs fight to have the rules of the House changed so as to further curtail the pow- CT of the speaker, especially in the mak- ing of committee appointments. The in- surgent republican leaders are apparent ly determined to bring up this question soon after Congress meets next month. It will be worth while watching the line up on this question, in view of the changes in the situation wrought by Tuesdays voting.

 FOR DR. GRIFFIN

London, November 12.-(Speclal) )-The petition for reprieve for pr. Crippen, convicted of wife murder is being freely signed. but it Is so much waste paper Unless Belle Fillmore appears in the flesh he surely will hang on November 23
 He maintains a quiet. stoical front dur ing the day, but does not sleep we'll at night, starting up repeatedly. After such a start he peers around his cell, as if he had dreamed he was not In prison, then throws himself back on his pillow with groan
 He tells his jailors. two of whom are in his cell constantly, day and night, that he believes he will be reprieved. They note. however, that he has never asked if Belle Fillmore has been found, though that is hls only hope of escape.
 Miss Leneve has seen him four times, but 1t is understood that the home office has refused to allow her to make any more visits to the prison. as 1t is be- lieved that she has been doing so for a newspaper story. There is a rumor that she sailed from Liverpool on Thursday for Montreal.
