Thirty-Six "Out and Outer"
Estimate for the
House.
TWELVE IN SENATE
TO HOLD BALANCE
Much Progressive Legislation Ex-
pected This Winter AS Result
of Splits In Both Parties.

Next to the size of the Democratic
majority in the next House Of Repre-
sentatives, the greatest interest I'm the
after-election discussion has been at
tached to the probable strength Of the
Republican insurgents in the House
and Senate.
many Republican members of the
House who were reelected after prom
ising their constituents that they would
not vote for Cannon for Speaker desig-
mated themselves as progressives. For
purposes OF rules revision, however,
these Republicans are eliminated from
the list Of insurgents who can be
counted upon to again wage warfare
against the existing rules OF the House.
The Republicans who were consistent
insurgents daring the last session of
Congress and the newly elected mem
bers of the House who are known TO
be progressives and VINO are counted
upon to act with 4Uch insurgent lead
ers as Norris and Muruvca will pre-
sent a more formidable front than il
was possible TO muster. except upon
rare occasions, during the last session
Of Congress.
Thirty-Six Real Ones.
II is now estimated that there will be
at least thirty-siX oUt-and-Out Repub-
lican insurgents in the next House.

ingtOn. Total. Sc.
In the Senate the insurgent Republi-
cans in the neXt Congress will be:
CumminS and his colleague, to be
elected from Iowa; Bristow Of Kansas,
La Toilette Of Wisconsin, Clapp Of Min
nesota, Gronna Of North Dakota, Poin-
dexter Of Washington, Borah Of Idaho,
Townsend OF Michigan, Nelson of Min
neSOta, Brown OF Nebraska and Work
OF California, the probable selection Of
The LincOln-Roosevelt League. Sen
ate insurgents are strongly counting
upon the support Of Senators Bourne OF
Washington and Dixon Of Montana
both Of whom showed a tendency to-
II
and who are believed 10 have given
assurances that they Will forsake the
old guard leadership 10 cast their lot
with the progressives.
Problems For Senators.
In the matter Of legislation, the in
surgent Senators VIII be confronted
with problems Of great importance.
Upon them Will depend, in large meas
ure, the amount and character Of legis-
lation written on the Federal statute
books during the two years preceding
the Presidential election in 1872
That there will be an immense amount
OF radical legislation sent to the Senate
from the House goes without saving.
Even with a gain Of eight seats, the
Democratic Senators will be unable TO
help their political brethren at the other
end Of the Capitol. II Is likewise true
that the conservative Republican SEN
ators viii be unable 20 stop Democratic
legislation II the insurgeut Republicans
manifest desire 10 accept much or
little of that which is received from the
House. This small group Of Republican
Senators will absolutely control through
