New York-The political upheaval
of Tuesday was followed by general
survey of the field, which disclosed in
greater detail and precision just what
had been accomplished. Latest calcu-
lations on the national house of repre-
sentatives, based on complete but un-
official returns, show that the Demo
Gratis will have a majority of so.
The outcome of the United States
senate is now definitely settled. The
Republicans are assured Of II new sem
ators, which, with "a hold-over sena-
tors, gives them a total Of 81. The
Democrats are assured of 16 new sena-
tors, which, with 25 hold-overs, give
them total Of Al.
Returns late from Montana are to
the effect that the Democrats have
elected at least SO members of the
next state legislature, which means
that a Democrat will be elected to
succeed United States Senator Carter.
Fifty-two votes are necessary to con-
troll on joint ballot. The senate will
be Republican by a vote of IL to II,
while the house will be Democratic
by AZ to 80, according to practically
complete returns.
These determined totals, however,
leave Republican majority in the sem
ate as follows: Total membership, 92;
necessary to majority, AT; Republi-
cans, 81; Democrats, Al.

house shows that Democrats won Sc
seats previously held by Republicans,
while only six Republicans took places
