TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Later election rcturns only serve to
emphasize the democratic victory.
According TO these returns, The next
House will be democratic by majority
OF 6S. There will he go democrats,
l63 republicans, and socialist and one
doubtful as compared with 2i7 republ.
cans and ia democrats in the present
House. The election of Champ Clark,
OF Missouri, as speaker is confidently
expected.
In THE legislatures in enc or two
states the result is still close, but the
returns Indicate pretty certainly that
the next Senate will have republican
majority OF y. The republican ma
jority in the present Senate is %, al
lowing for one vacancy. It's apparent
therefore, that the republicans in the
upper branch Of Congress, while pos
sessing an absolute voting majority,
will be skating on thin ice, which is
likely to crack and let them through
altogether in 1912 unless the demo-
cratic drift is checked.
