LEGISLATURE WILL
Be DEMOCRATIC
Party Gains Control of Both
Senate and House.

The reports received from the
secretary of states office in Tren-
ton show that there will be twelve
democratic senators to nine republi-
can senator's, majority of three for
the democrats, and two more than
majority OF the whole body.
The house settled down to fifty-two
democrats to eight republicans, ma
jority for the democrats of forty-four.
This leaves the democrats a ma
Jority of forty-scyen on joint ballot.
The congress representation stands
one republican to eleven democrats.
The republicans are looking for a
leader now to heal the party differ
ences. Jersey is mercurial state,
as witness the state going to the
democrats in 1907 and then fifty
seven republicans to three democrats
in the house the following year OF
| 1908
There was the suggestion that SEN
ator James Fielder, of Hudson, should
be the president of the senate and
thus become the governor of the state
when Wilson went out of office to
the presidents chair, but it is pre-
mature, the Wilson men saying they
prefer to wait and see whom Wilson
wants when he returns from trip
for months rest, scheduled for be-
ginning November 18th, when Presi-
dent John D. Prince, republican, will
be acting governor in his absence
