margin Oh control IN the upper mousse
of congress for the two years after
March 4th.
Majority I'm Delaware.
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 a Democratic senator
Will be chosen. This would give the
Democrats forty-nine votes in the
senate--an absolute majority and a
margin of two votes at least over t.>~
Repn li1xc-s
Ine Republicans, according to re-
ports coming to Washington, have the
best chanG1 IN Idaho, West Virginia
and wyoming, where th5 legislatures
are In the hands OF Republican f.s-
jorities. Election of Republicans in
those three States would increase the
Republican strength to forty three
six less than majority.
In Illinois, New Hampshire and
New Mexico, the result is hard to
predict. In Illinois and New Hamp
shire neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats have an absolute majority
Of the legislatures, and any election
mast be the result of a compromise.
In New Mexico the situation is COM
plicated by a fight between the sup
porters and enemies of Senator FAN.
