DEMOCRATS MAY CONTROL NEXT
SENATE.

Many persons have held the idea
that sooner or later the democrats
would have control Of the upper house
Of congress. but few realize how soon
this will take place. not that the dem
ocrats will have a majority for some
time, but with the help of the thir-
teen insurgent republicans, the repub-
lican majority viii be a thing of the
past.
Arizona will elect two democrats for
senators and the indications point to
New Mexico electing two republicans,
but Senator Frye's successor will be a
democrat and Colorado is to have
new democratic member in the SEN
ate.
This viii give the republicans only
eight majority and with a democratic
victory in the presidentiay election
which appears very promising at this
time, six republicans are almost sure
to be retired and their places filed by
democarts. They are: Briggs Of New
Jersey; Richardson of Delaware,
Dixon of Montana; Guggenheim Of
Colorado; Borah of Idaho, and Brown
Of Nebraska.
Thus it win be seen that with the
insurgent help, the democrats will
practically be in power at the next
session of congress, and that when
the next president assumes his duties
he win in all probability have both
houses Of congress democratic by
good and safe majority. That the
next president will be a democrat is
generally conceded, even by the re.
pubIcans.
Not since Cleveland entered office
for the second time have both houses
been democratic, but at that time the
democratic party was in an altogether
different state Of affairs from what It
is in now. The tariff situation was
different then and a few members of
the senate demoralized everything.
and then the country was not de-
handing tariff reduction as it does
now and the democrats we're not as
conyersant with the subject as they
VIII be this time.
The prospects are indeed bright
from every section and even more
states than we have named might re-
place one Of their senators with a
democrat The progressive spirit is
gaining so much Roadway that other
states may surprise the country as
much as Maine did when the demo-
Gratis scored such an unexpected vic
tory.
