Republicans will control both
branches of the state legislature. Re-
turns today indicate that the Repub-
licans have probably elected 80 of the
125 members of the house, and 80
members of the senate. Final returns
may change these figures, but in any
event it is quite certain that the Re
publicans will control both legislative
bodies
Two men widely known in Kansas
political circles have seemingly been
defeated for the state senate. In the
Fortieth district, w. C. Whitney ap-
pears to have beaten Senator I. NJ.
Mahin. In the Second district James
w. Orr, Democrat, was beaten for the
senate by Frank Pomeroy, Republican.
J. M. Davis, Democrat, was defeated
for reelection to the senate from
Bourbon county. Robert T. Barr won.
Reports have been sent to Topeka
from more than one-third of the dis
tricts of the state. They give Repub-
licans strong leads in both houses. In
Crawford and Cherokee counties
strong efforts were made to elect
senators. Senator C. S. Huffman, Re-
publican, seems to have won another
election in Cherokee. 1t is probable
that the Socialists will win two or
three mem bers of the house from
Members of Both Houses.
