The Elbert County tribune., 1916-11-10

tieclloH give the ttepuDllcdHS cOntrOl
OF the House of Representatives and
the Democrats control of the Senate
The standings in the House will be as
follows:
Republicans .............. 222
democrats --... .............-... ZO6
Progressives 2
Prohibitionists
socialists ...............
Independent
The standing in the Senate probably
will be fifty to forty-six in favor of
the Democrats.
Complete returns from the Far West
may increase or decrease the Demo
cratic majority. There is only the
barest possibility that they will over
turn 1t entirely.
While the Democrats do not yet
concede their defeat in the campaign
for control of the House. at midnight
they were claiming that even in the
event of their loss they will be still
be able to organize by combining
with the Progressives, Prohibitionists
and Socialists elected Tuesday.
They assert the Republicans will
not get 21S votes, which are needed
for a majority.
II the Republicans come within one
of a majority they will depend upon
Martin of Louisiana, Progressive, to
help them out. On the other hand
If the Democrats are within four of 1t
they will in all likelihood get assist
ance from Randall, the California
Prohibitionist; Fuller, the Massachu-
setts Independent; Schall, Mime
sofa Progressive, and London of New
York, the only Socialist to be elected
Congressman Mann of Chicago will
be the next speaker If the final re-
turns give the House to the Republi-
cans If not. Speaker Clark will be
reelected. While the Republicans
were maintaining the lead which they
took In the early House returns. they
were losing ground in the Senate
race.
Senator Pomerene in Ohio appears
to have defeated former Ambassador
Herrick. The result there is close,
however. and the final returns may
make Herrick the winner. Herricks
election was believed certain early to-
day
In Nebraska Senator Hitchcock
overcame the early lead of John L.
Kennedy. the Republican candidate,
and is now running little ahead of
him.
In Missouri, however, Walter
Dickey, the Republican candidate, is
pressing Senator Reed, the Demo
cratic incumbent, closely.
Confirmation came OF the defeat of
Senator Sutherland Republican, of
Utah. by Will H. King.
The indications are also that Sena-
tor Clark has been defeated in Wyo-
ming by J. B. Kendrick, the Demo
cratic candidate.
The results In Arizona, New Mexico
and Nevada are still in doubt, with
the Democratic candidates ahead In
Arizona and Nevada and the Republi-
can candidate slightly In the lead in
New Mexico.
The result in Montana will not be
known. in all likelihood, until the final
returns are in. Senator Myers, Demo
crat, is slightly behind former Con-
gressman Pray, the Republican candi-
date, now. Thus far none of the noted
national leaders in the House has
been defeated.
Complete returns from a number of
states give the following results in
elections for members of the lower
house of Congress:
