By GEORGE CLINTON.

WaSnlnBtOu-it IS pOsslUie HOW tO give definitely for the first time the names of members of the next house of representatives who will stand in l opposition to extreme conservatism, whether it manifests itself in the Democratic or in the Republican party
 There has been a cloud of doubt over the positions. which some of the men elected to the lower house of the Sixty-third congress intended to occupy There Is a respectable min- ority of members outside of the Demo cratic party who can be depended up on to uphold advanced policies of MT. | Wilson they do not go too far into the radical field, and also to take a posi- tion of opposition to high tariff pro nouncements or extremely conserva- tive legislative announcements on any subjects made by the conserva- tiyes of any party.
 The ranks of progressivism outside | of the Democratic party fell under sev- | eral designations One man Is writ ten down politically as an lndepen- dent; other men call themselves Pro gressive epubiicans; other combine the party names of Washington and Republican,; others call themselves straight Washington party men. and the others are Progressives with capital P.
 Forty-seven Are Prosressives.
 There are forty-seven members who fall into one or the ether of these classes According to the list of mem bers- elect of the next house which was prepared by the house officials, there will be IA Republicans in attendance All of the men who appear in the list which Is to follow are classed by the Democratic authorities as members of the Republican party, but only a few of them speak of themselves as Repub licans. Those of them who keep the party name invariably put the hyphen and the word progressive before it. So it is that from this total number of Republicans written into the present congressional directory as such, there must be subtracted fortyseven. num- Der which represents the strength of the contingent which either to great degree or entirely has separated It. self from republicanism as it has been understood in the past
 The next house of representatives therefore will stand Democrats, 291; Republicans. 97; Progressives. pro gressive- e-Republicans and Washington party men, 47. Total, 435.
