The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-01-25


The Republicans. however. are not
likely to capture all of the eight seats
still to be decided. The Democrats
are in the majority in the Delaware
Legislature. and the party leaders
are hopeful that Democratic Senator
will be chosen. This would give the
Democrats forty nine votes in the
the Senate-an absolute majority and =
margin of two votes at least over the
Republicans.
The Republicans. according to re-
ports coming to Washington. have the
best chance in Idaho. West Virginia and
Wyoming. where the legislatures are
in the hands of Republican majorities-
Election of Republicans in those three
States would increase the Republican
strength to fifty-three-six less than
majority.
In Illinois, New Hampshire and New
Mexico the result is hard TO predlct-
In Illinois and New Hampshire neither
the Republicans nor the Democrats nave
an absolute majority of the Legisla-
lures, and any election must be the
result of a compromise. In New Mexi-
co the situation is complicated by
fight between the supporters and
enemies of Senator Fall.
