Washington, March 5.-One hundred
and twenty-eight members OF the house
and senate retired to private life
Most OF them went out in the back
wash from the tidal wave which swept
the Republican party into full control
OF all the functions of the govern
ment, but some few Republicans as
well as Democrats, elected not to run
again for their seats.
Champ Clark one of those who
would have retired, was claimed by
death two days before the session
ended. A picturesque character among
the outgoing members was Senator
Lawrence Y. Sherman (Rep.) of II
linois, who did not run for re-elec;
ton.
Three Go to Senate.
The actual number of house mem,
bers quitting was III, but three OF
these-McKinley of Illinois, Harreld
of Oklahoma (Reps), and Carraway
of Arkansas Dem.)-go to the 9th
er end of the capitol as senators. Nc
Kinleys house record was fourteen
years.
The political landslide of Novem-
Der gave the Republicans a much
larger working majority in the house
too big in the opinion of some lead
ers. The new extra session expected
to be called soon will start with 3O1
Republicans, 1872 Democrats and one
Socialist.
The new senate, which convened
yesterday in special session to act on
