Helena, Nov. 9.-While there Is no
doubt bnt that the republicans will
have very safe majority in the Mon
tate state senate during the coming
Legislative assembly, their hold upon
the house will be very slim and their
majority, if any, will be very small.
Although it seems that the republi-
cans will control the next house in
numbers, at least, they will be able to
obtain small satisfaction at their vic
tory at the polls because the demo-
Gratis have cut into their numbers to
4 very appreciable extent and have
educed their Overwhelming majority
OF two years ago to an almost even
division of the house
| With only partial vote from Some
of the counties and from several
nothing to indicate the vote upon the
legislative candidates. it now appears
that the democrats viii have IT SEN
| ators and the republicans 80, with one
county, Carter, yet to be heard from.
In the house the democrats, on the
face Of the RETURNS received up 10
Thursday evening. had 46 members,
the republicans 46, with s undecided.
Of these II, however. six are in very
strong republican counties, SO it is
reasonable to expect that the republi-
cans will be able TO show majority
in the house
Whether Governor Dixon will be
able to control the house and senate
to the extent that he viii be able to
put over his full tax program is con-
jectural. Not all of the republicans
are supporters of the governors poll
cies and he is looking. for some back
ing from u number of the democratic
members, Txis strength cannot be
relied upon.
Taking tne returns as so far re-
ceiyed for what they are worth. the
personnel of the next assembly viii be
as follows:
