FOURTEEN NEW
 FACES APPEAR
 IN UPPER BODY
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

are Republicans and three Democrats.
 Tn the last congress the Republi- cans and Democrats were divided nearly equally in the senate but the new senate is heavily Republican. There are now fifty-nine Republicans and thirty-seven Democrats This gives the Republicans majority of twenty-tWo votes, which is one of the largest Republican majorities in any senate within the memory of tie oldest inhabitants of the national capital.
 The golden west, the region beyond the Mississippi, supplies eight of the eleven new Republican senator's These are Norbeck, South Dakota; Harreld, Oklahoma; Stanfield, Ore gon; Ladd, North Dakota; Oddie, Ne vada; Shortridge, California; Cam eron, Arizona; and Nicholson, of Colo rado. The three other Republicans are Mckinley, Illinois; Weller, Mary land; and Ernst, Kentucky.
 The three new Democratic senators halls from Louisiana; Carraway comes from Arkansas, and Watson from Georgia These Democrats sue ceed Democrats, but nine of the new Republicans took seats away from the Democrats in the last No vember elections.
 Of all the new senators, Watson, of Georgia, is the most picturesque. He has been in turn Democrat, popu- list, and Democrat, and has the dis tinction of defeating for reelection Hoke Smith, one of the most power full Democratic politicians in the en- tire south and a man who loomed large for ability in the last senate. Smith was secretary of interior under Cleveland. Watson won the Georgia senatorship on an openly hostile anti Wilson platform. Watson is sort of Ben Tillman, but in many respects he is more of firebrand than the late "Pitchfok Senator" from South Carolina Watson was indicted and tried in Georgia for violent attacks on the Catholics, and during the World war he was in trouble with the government because of articles he published in a magazine he owns attacking the policy of the govern ment. His publication was barred from the mails Watson is sixty-four years old and served in the Fifty-sec- ond congress as a Populist. He ob- tained the first appropriation for rural mail delivery. If there ever was an agitator it is Watson He will considerably enliven the staid old senate, but after time the senate will tame" him, just as it has tanned with the idea of turning over things other wild men who came to congress in the upper house.
 One brother succeeds another in the new senate, which has not hap pened before in the history of the senate as far as this writer can dis cover. Senator Edwin s. Broussard succeeds his brother, the late Senator Robert S. Broussard. He is only forty-six years old, and his home Is in New Iberia, La, made famous by a certain red-hot sauce. Broussard was once Progressive but is now a Democrat.
 Senator Carraway, of Arkansas, was member of the house for eight years and before his house service was judge.
 TWO former governors are among the new senators, both Republicans. They are Senator Oddie. of Nevada, and Senator Norbeck. of South Da. hota
 Senator Shortridge, of California, Wrfo succeeds Senator Pheland, isl 8 welI known lawyer In the far west. He has been school teacher and Uiner.
 Senator Ladd, of North Dakota, is a college professor-a rarity in the senate. He is teacher of chemistry. He defeated Senator Gronna, old line Republican, as the candidate of the Nou-Partisan league. Ladd is the first representative of the Non-Parti- san league to reach seat In the senate
 Stanfield, of Oregon, has the dis tinction of being the greatest sheep grower of the west. His flocks and herds numbers hundreds of thous- ands and 1t is said he is greater wool grower than, even Senator War ren, of Wyoming, the father-in-law of General Pershing. He Is a multi millionaire.
