Tuesdays ELECTION.

Later election returns only serve to
emphasize the democratic victory.
According TO these returns. the next
House will be democratic by majority
OF G3. There will he go democrats,
l63 republicans, and socialist and one
doubtful as compared with 2f7 republi-
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 II. 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.
Congressional gains were made by
the democrats in the following states:
Connecticut, l; Illinois, 4; Indiana,
/; Iowa, 2; Kentucky, /; Maine,
2; Maryland. 2; Massachusetts,,

Jersey, 4; New York, II; North Caro-
lima, 3; Ohio, 6; Oklahoma, /; Penn
sylyania, 6; Rhode Island, /; West
Virginia, 4.
The republicans made gains as
follows: Massachusetts, l. Missouri, l
Nevada, /; New York, l; Pennsyl-
yania, Iowa |.
According to The returns, in the next
Senate there will be 90 republicans and
AZ democrats, clear gaiu OF nine for
the democrats. The democrats APP
parently have gained seats in the follow
ing states nov represented by republi-
cans Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Ne
braska, New Jersey, Ohio. New York
and West Virginia. In Maine a demo
cratic legislature was chosen in Sep
TENDER, insuring democratic senator
TO succeed Senator Eugene Hale.
The democrats have swept West
Virginia, eleciing four out OF five con-
gressmen and Il majority in the lcgis-
lature, insuring the defeat OF Scnat,
