BY Tne United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. e.-Almost com
plete returns from Tuesdays elections
indicate the Senate will be Republican
by majority Of two.
According 10 indications today there
VIII be 49 Senators on the Republican
side and AZ on the Democratic side.
Anyone Progressive" vote swinging to
the side Of the Democrats could there
fore command a majority for the mi
nority with Vice-President Marshalrs
vote.
Thus, chief interest today centers in
the course which will be pursued on
great reconstruction issues bv such
men as Borah, Johnson, Of California: :
La Toilette, McNary, OF Oregon, and
Kenyon. OF Iowa. all Of whom are more
or less Independent Of party. The Demo-
Gratis are counting strongly on the sup
port OF these men-at least some OF
them-in preventing repeal OF many
laws which the Democrats have passed
during their reign Of power and to
which substantial Republican opposi-
tiOn has been made.
Il is on new reconstruction measures
that the prOgressives will get their op-
portunity TO WELD the greatest infu-
ence. They can beat any measure by
nlibustering against lt. They can put
through a progressive law because both
Democrats and Republicans will be
eager to please them TO keep their sup
port.
Kenyon's resolution for a commission
to recommend a budget system is one
measure which has been held up by re-
dictionary influence which now prob
ably viii go through.
