A DEMOCRATIC SENATE IN 1911.

concerned, now sees VISIONS of a dem
ocratic senate in the good year 1911

some trouble in looking up statistics
and sizing up the situation which it
does in the following manner:
Nothing succeeds like a revolution
when it once begins to revolve.
Shrewd republican politicians ap-
preciate this truth and they are be-
ginning to coolly calculate how much
or how little of their organization will
be left when the present wave of dis
satisfaction with their course shall
have swept over the country and spent
itself.
Democrats have been content to
look forward to a democratic lower
house of congress in 1911, but calcula-
tons have been made by New Eng
land republican senator and presented
to the republican congressional com
mittee indicating that the next senate
will either be democratic or so even
~ divided that half dozen insurgents
in sympathy with democratic meas
ures will hold the balance of power.
The way they figure it out is some
thing like this:
The terms of thirty senators of
both parties will expire on March 3.
1911, at which time the third session
of the sixty first congress will end.
No less than twenty-four CT these are
republicans and only six are demo

estimate made by leading republican
senators indicate that sixteen are like

succeeded by other republicans.
The republicans who are said to be
reasonably certain to come back are
Buckley of Connecticut, Clapp of Min
nesota, Clark of Wyoming, Depew of
New York. Kean of New Jersey,
Lodge of Massachusetts, Nixon of Ne
vada, Oliver of Pennsylvania, Page
of Vermont, Scott of West Virginia
and Sutherland of Utah-eleven.
Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Hale of Maine, Flint of California and
Piles Of Washington will retire at the
end of the present congress. but it is
expected that each will be succeeded
by republican. Ohio, the major
chances are, will return a republican
