Washington, April 3-Tne interest
ing situation Of Democratic house
and a Republican senate meeting to
consider a Taft administrative meas
ure direct unusual attention to the
convening OF the sixty-second congress
in extraordinary session at noon to-
morrow. The political complex1ons Of
the two branches of congress VIII be
as follows:
House-Democrats 22S, Republicans
Iowa and second Pennsylvania dis
tricts.
Senate Republicans 50, Democrats
Al: vacancy /. from Colorado.
The roll calls in the two branches
viii show some remarkable changes
from the last session In the house
the Democrats viii show a gain of
fifty-four members and the Reput-
licans loss of ffty-ffve, the Socialist
member, Victor Berger of Milwaukee,
accounting for the difference in the
equation.
BY reason of the change resulting
from the election last November, new
faces will be seen not only in the
membership Of the house, but in the
whole organization. Republican en-
ployeS in great number will go out
and their places will be filed by
Democrats. Choice rooms In the capt.

controlled by the Republicans, will be
surrendered to the representatives of
the party which Is to gather up the
house reins.
CHANGES IN SENATE
Instead Of the fifty-nine Republicans
who occupied seats in the senate on
March 4, there will be only nifty to-
morrow. The ranks Of the minority
Will be increased from thirty-two to
forty-one and to forty-two when the
vacancy in Colorado is filled. There
was one vacancy in the last session,
caused by the death of the late Sen
ator Hughes of Colorado. A more
notable event than the large number
of new faces in the senate and the
house Will be the absence of so many
veteran legislators. The speakers
marble rostrum will not resound with
the vigorous whacl1s of the Cannon
gavel, for Mr.. Cannon Will appear in
the ranks of the minority.
Veterans of many legislative strug-
giles will be missed from the house
floor. Chief among these whose alb
sence will loom large will be Tawney
of Minnesota, Boutell Of Illinois, Scott
of Kansas, Mckinley of California,
Bennett, Fish, Parsons and Cocks of
New York, Hull and Smith of Iowa,
DENLY or Michigan and Keffer of Ohio.
Four members, Hitchcock Of Nebras-
ka, Poindexter of Washington, Gronna
Of North Dakota and Townsend Of
Michigan, have been elevated to the
senate.
No longer will the senate roll call
open with the familiar name of Al
drich, the Rhode Island leader having
voluntarily renounced another term TO
devote himself to leisure and the study
Of monetary reforms. He viii be sue
ceeded by Henry F. Lippitt. Many
other striking figures viii be missed
from the senate floor, notably Hale of
Maine, succeeded by Charles F. John
son; Beveridge of Indiana, who was
vanquished by John W. Kern; Kean of
New Jersey, in whose place will be
James B. MARITIME; Warner of Missouri,
replaced by James A Reed; Dick Of
Ohio, replaced by Atlee Pomerene, and
Carter OF Montana, succeeded by
Henry L. Myers. All of these changes
represent Democratic gains except In
the case of Rhode Island.
