Republicans May Have Two
n Thirds Control in 1928.

I25 Representative Districts.
COUNT NOW STANDS 72 TO 21
Judge James A. McDermOtt Has
Been Defeated in COwley.
Three Women Members of 1921
House Will Return Next Year.

Republicans are in positive control
of the 1923 house of representatives.
They will not only have a constitu-
tona1 majority in the body of 1926
members, but may have a two-thirds
controf-enough to override a veto by
the new Democrat governor or carry
thru a constitutional amendment reso-
luton.
~ Republicans; 21 Democrats.
Returns tabulated today by The
State journal, cover 90 of the 125
representative districts in the state.
They give Republicans IL members as
! against 81 Democrats. This is nine
more than a constitutional majority
and twelve short of a two-thirds con-
/ troll. In two or three of the districts
tabulated results are somewhat in
/ doubt and may be changed by the
| tfonaI two-thirds, the Republicans
must merely win twelve members in
the 80 missing districts.
Late returns show that Judge James
A. MeDermott of the industrial court
has been defeated for reelection to
/ the legislature from Cowley county.
He lost to DIR. L. P. Ravenscroft
Democrat, opposed to the labor court
law.
