REPUBLICANS CAN'T CONTROL.
g. o. Z. Prevails in House and DEM
OcratS in the Senate.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Members Of
the house of representatives in the
Sixty-ifth congress
face one of the most uncertain or
ganization situations in the history
of the government.
With few districts still in doubt,
the Republicans appear to have plu-
rality of four or five members and
possible majority of two or three
when it is figured that an Independ-
ent elected in Massachusetts, and
Progressive elected in Minnesota
probably will vote with them for. or
ganizatlon purposes. Independence
of action has characterized num-
ber of the reelected members of the
Republican side, however, and their
attitude toward Democratic legisla-
tion in the last few years has given
Democratic leaders cause for hope
that some of them might carry their
independence into the organization
of the next house.
Close Division.
On the face of the unofficial re-
turns the political division of the
house is so close that an effective and
certain working majority does not
exist. While there might be a few
changes when the official returns are
counted, the chances are that these
would not materially alter the gen.
eral result. In view Of the situa-
ton, it is regarded by Democratic
leaders as improbable that President
Wilson will call an extra session of
the new congress next spring. In
that case the organization fight will
not come until the regular session in
December, 1917, which will mean
manoeuvering for more than a year
in the contest for the speakership Of
the house and the organization of i'm
portant committees.
