OPINIONS ON THE EnRCT1ou
Results Seem Pleasing to Roth Dem
ocrats and Republicans

Washington, Nov. s. Democratic
administration leaders yesterday
claimed substantial auajority In
the House, and continued control OF
the Senate as a result OF the elec-
tions. On returns which we're not
complete, the. democrats asserted
their majority in the Senate had
been increased from i Q to is. In the
House the returns indicated that the
present overwhelming democratic
majority had dWindled to 25
With this. the democratic leaders
professed themselves satisfied, de-
c1aring it was the greatest ma 5ority
ever returned by any party in an
off-year following a tariff revision. z
The democrats also asserted the re-
turns showed that the progressive
party had practically disappeared,
and, therefore the democratic VIC
tory over a reunited republican
party.
Republicans, however, were jubi-
liant over the result. They asserted
the progressiyes were returning to
the fold. and that by 1916 the way
would be cleared for a sweeping re-
publican victory. They were prepar-
ed to welcome Uncle doe Cannon
and many of his erstwhile followers,
who had fought their way back to
seats in the House after their de-
feat in 1912. Three breaks in the
Solid South, which democracy has
held for so many years were pointed
to as indications OF democratic
weakness.
