Republicans Have Majority
in Senate of Two Votes,
Returns Show.

Checking up of me returns of

publican Congressional Committee
yesterday resulted in the announce
ment being made that the Republi-
cans have a cerNain majority in the
next House of 4S votes. Final re-
turns, it is claimed. may increase the
majority. but it. will not be iimin-
ished. The Senate majority of the
Republicans will be two votes.
Word came from Pennsylvania
that Representative Farr appears to
have been beaten in the Scranton
district by his Democratic opponent.
The soldier vote is counted upon by
the Republicans to pull him through.
He is not included in the As major
ity. Neither do the Republicans lay
claim to more than six votes in Mis-
souri,, although claims, have been
made that eight Republicans have
been elected in that State.
Chairman Fess of the committee,
who returned today from his home
in Ohio, said:
We are absolutely sure of ma
jority of As. not counting Farr, who
may win on the final returns. and
not counting the two additional
votes in Missouri which the Repub-
lican committee in that State claims.
We have gone over the returns care
fully and have made no mistake in
our calculation of the Republican
majority.
THE latest word from Idaho is very
favorable to Frank Gooding in the
contest with Senator NngeDt 1t
will take the official count to de-
termine who has been elected. II
Gooding wins the Republicans will
have SO votes in the Senate and the

the vote will be 40 to a, a majority
of two for the Republicans"
