cFst

islature, assuring the return of DEM
ocrat to succeed Richardson, repub-
lican, retired.
One in New Jersey, where William
Hughes, democrat, will succeed Briggs,
republican.
The uncertainty as to West Vir
ginia, indicated in earlier reports,
seemed apparently the only obstacle to
democratic majority. Definite re-
turns are still lacking from Oregon,
Wyoming, Tennessee, New Hampshire,
Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota.
Late figures from Nevada indicate
Pittman, democrat, is leading and
probably is elected.
The New Senate.
The personnel Of the new senate in
the National congress will show many
we'll known veterans, with large in
fusion of new blood. Among senators
holding over are:
Root, Lodge, La Toilette, Gallinger,
Penrose, Clapp, Culberson, Kern,
O'Gorman, Rayner, Shiveley and
ol lik a.
ly to come back include Senators Ba-
con, Tillman, Borah, Nelson, Sim
mons. Martin, Bankhead, Davis and
Owens.
Among those who failed of renomi-
nation and whose names will not ap-
pear on the senate rolls after the 4th
of March is Shelby NJ Cullom of Illi-
nois, whose congressional career goes
back to the time of Abraham Lincoln.
Included in this list are Senators Cur
tbs of Kansas, Bourne of Oregon and
Gamble Of South Dakota.

Massachusetts, Guggenheim of Colo
RADIO, Richardson of Delaware, Burn

new men who already have been
chosen are Ollie James of Kentucky
and Joseph E. Randell of Louisiana,
both present members of the house
and both democrats. Mr.. James sue
Dot ~ fr
dell Senator Murphy Foster. Former
Governor Vardamann comes as the
successor of Senator Leroy Percy of
Mississippi, and former Representa-
tive William Hughes as the successor
of Senator Briggs of New Jersey. Rep
will probably succeed Senator Nor
| ris Brown.
The progressive republicans who
were candidates for the senate and
whose success seem assured by the
election of legislatures in sympathy
with them are Borah of Idaho, Norris
| of Nebraska, keynon Of Iowa and
Sherman of Illinois.
| Senator Dixon of Montana, who has
given his time to Colonel Roosevelt's s
campaign, is in the doubtful list, with

A democratic legislature doubtless will
be called upon to elect republican
| for United States senator.

gressives 49, Districts unreported 1S.
The foregoing showed the standing
of the house of representatives in the
Sixty-third (new) congress.
The total of 2SS gave the democrats
seventy more than the 21S necessary
for majority and fifty-eight more
than the democratic membership in
the Sixty-second congress.
Later returns did not diminish the
heavy democratic majority in the
house of representatives but they did
play see-saw with Uncle Joe" Cannon
and finally left him defeated by a ma
iority of 600. Gillette of Massachu,
setts probably will succeed Cannon's
position as senior republican on the
appropriations committee.
Congressman Richard Bartholdt, re
publican, was returned at st. Louis for
