HOUSE AND SENATE
Democratic Majority More Widely
Distributed Than Any
Previous.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 6.-Nev-
er before in the history Of the country
in all probability has party majority
In the house been so widely distributed
geographically as will be the case In
the house which will meet In April at
the call Of the new president to report
out tariff bill.
The Democrats will have solid house
delegations in IS states, and the Re
publicans will have solid delegations
in nine. The Democratic party is rep
resented in the delegations Of 80 states
and the Republican party in the dele
cations Of 80 states. The Democrats
will have q total Of 295 votes in the
house. and the Republican q total OF
140, which will mean Democratic ma
jority Of 1856, counting all Progressives
as Republicans for the purpose of this
analysis.
In II state delegations. in addition
to the IS which are solidly Democratic.
the Democrats will have a majority OF
the members. while there are only nine
such delegations showing Republican
majority. Nebraska Is the only state
whose delegation will be evenly divided
between the two parties-three Demo
Gratis and three Republicans.
In the senate number of curious
divisions will be found after March 4.
Twenty states will have two Demo
cratic senators each, and Is states will
have two Republican senators each. In
eight states the senatorial delegations
will be divided between the two parties,
again counting the Progressives as Re-
publicans. There will be Republican
senators from 2S states, not counting
Tennessee or Illinois, whose senatorial
action Is uncertain.

GIRLS FARM CLUBS
GREAT SUCCESS IN
SOUTHERN STATES
Test in Oklahoma Has Resulted in
Surprising nterest-Canning
Industry Is Doomed.
ESTIMATED AT $1,ooo,ooo.
Female of the Species" Goes in
Also for Poultry Raising
More Than %, 900 Members.

While statements are being made in
many quarters that it is impossible for
girls to earn more than 81 day at the
usual line of employment, the expert
ment of the Girls Farm clubs in Okla
homa and other Southern states are
worthy of investigation.
About two years ago the late DR.. s..
A. Knapp of the department of agri-
culture conceived the idea of organic
ing girls tomato clubs in the Southern
states, something on the order Of the
boys corn clubs which have been run
in previous years.
Unfortunately DR.. Knapp died before
this work was ready for public demon
stration, but the idea took hold among
the farm girls of the Southern states
and the results obtained this year are
considered by the department of agri-
culture officials as remarkable.
The work started out with the idea
of having girls raise tomatoes and pos
sibly can a few of them. It has devel-
oped, however. into the girls going in
for tomatoes, poultry and eggs, and
canning not only tomatoes, but all
sorts Of fruit and vegetables, so that
in the state of Oklahoma alone the
girls this year have canned 80 varie-
ties Of fruit and vegetables. making
the famous pickle factory look like q
back number.
!, -Thsrsa - about $4,000 girls now en-
rolled In the Southern states, and
work could be greatly extended II
more money were available for instruc-
tion. 1t is estimated by business men
and the department that the girls club
work has been worth just about ST.
100000 to the state Of Oklahoma this
year.
One girl was was q member of the
canning club in Oklahoma made a net
profit Of $101 of Of 1-10 of an acre,
but her showing is very good indi-
cation of what the girls can do in q
business line when they get started.
The canning works have been an OBJ
ject lesson to many Of the grown peo-
pie in the states where they have been
in operation One man near Oklahoma
City had a large orchard of which he
could not sell the fruit at q profit and
he was about to abandon the whole en-
terprise when he casually attended one
of the girls canning demonstrations.
He was SO impressed that he invested
about $3.50 in the biggest home can
ming outfit he could get and canned all
the fruit ON his place. He cleaned up
nearly $4,000 on the seasons work and
decided to retain the orchard.
Many Of the girls have gone In for
poultry raising as well as for can
ming. and all of them who have done so
have made a good showing financially
with eggs and chickens. They have
saved waste on their home places be-
cause they have canned everything in
the way Of fruit and vegetables that
otherwise would not have been used
at all. While the principal reports SO
far have been received from Okla
homa, 1t is known unonicially that in
Alabama and Mississippi the showing
made by many of the girls has been
even better.

GEO. A. M0TTMAN
WINS MAY0RALN
BY 269 MAJORITY
Defeats DR.. Bridgford for Con-
tested Place-Carries Third,
Fourth and Sixth Wards.
SOCIALIST FALLS BEHIND
Guiles Lowest Man on Party
Ticket-Mrs. Sylvester Makes
Close Race for Council.

Surprising even his friends by the
large majorities he rolled up in the
wards he carried, considering the size
of the vote cast, George A. Mottman
was elected mayor of Olympia by an
unofficial plurality of 269 votes over
DR.. George Bridgford in Tuesdays s
election. He will take Office the first
of the year.
While there are 3,10O registered
voters in Olympia, less than 1000 of
them, or 1881, voted at the election,
due probably to the inclement weather
of the greater part of the day. Most Of
fight and when the early returns began
to come In shortly after the polls closed
it was quickly seen who was the victor.
Mr.. Mottman ran much stronger
than expected in the wards carried by
the retiring mayor, the latter carrying
the First by only 75 votes, according
to the unofficial count, the Second by
but so and the Fifth by only IA. Con-
sequently Mr.. Mottman's majorities in
the Third. where he led by 121 votes,
the Fourth, which he carried by 1876,
and the Sixth which gave him 81 plur-
Ality placed him far in the lead. .
The mayor-elect is one Of the most
prosperous business men in Olympia
and a man who through dint of per-
severance. good business judgment and
hard work has built up one Of the
largest stores In Southwest Washing
ton. His predecessor is physician
and former councilman whose admins
tration his friends thought entitled
him to second term.
d. w. Guiles, the Socialist candidate,
polled the least votes Of any city can
didate on that ticket, getting but Sc,
while C. A. Goodpasture, the Socialist
candidate for councilman-at-large. poll
ed 469. the normal Socialist strength,
and Mrs. e. L. Sylvester polled 174 in
the Fourth ward alone.
Aside from the mayoralty contest,
the race made by Mrs. Sylvester for the
Fourth wards representative in the
council was not only the closest but
also the most interesting feature of the
balloting. In spite Of the fact that the
candidacy Of woman for such posi-
tion is q new feature locally, she came
within II votes Of winning and q
change of eight votes to her favor
would have placed her on the right
side. Instead. Councilman Funk was
returned.
I. N. Holmes. reelected to the post
OF city clerk, was the high man on the
Republican ticket. polling 1.343 votes.
The other results are:
