MANY NEW FACES WILL APPEAR ON
 FLOOR OF HOUSE
(Continued From Pnge one)

landslide eliminates Warren c. liar ding as . possibility for the republi- can nomination in 1924, according to statements by politicians of both parties in Washington today.
 The west Is in open revolt against the variety of republicanism repre- sented by the administration, and the east, intolerant of progressives, is simply democratic. This is the con- clusion of those who are endeavoring tonight to analyze situation with out precedent in the history of the country.
 The Presidents best friends, Fre- linghauysen. In New Jersey; Kel- logg, In Minnesota; Townsend, in Michigan; New, in Indiana, and Mon- dell. In Wyoming. have been elimi- mated and the leader of the republi- cans in the Senate, Lodge. has man. aged to hold his own. despite his dis tinguished service, by a margin less than 1000 votes. The defeat or rom creme In Ohio, if indications are yer flied, has proved of little comfort to the President, for Ohio elected a democratic governor and filled its House delegation with an abnormal democratic quota.
 Harding Not to object
 The single fly in the democratic ointment Is the defeat of Hitchcock in Nebraska. That reversal Is at- tributed to German voters, unable to forget Hitchcoek's fight for the League of Nations In 1920.
 It Is understood that the Presi- dent has thoroughly digested the sit- uation and that he will offer no objection If another Is selected to run before the people two years hence. With the Old Guard swept from the map, the progressives will take charge of the republican camp, 1t Is indicated. and already Borah's prediction of third party Is given close attention. Some observers cite . radical ascendency in republican circles and express fear lest Henry Ford, running independent. smash All G. o. F. hopes two years hence
 Smith in Limelfght
 With the defeat of Pomerene, on whom democrats were understood to be hopeful of centering In 1924, the situation is apparently chaotic. Reed of Missouri, having won two fights against the opposition of Woodrow Wilson. will unquestionably attempt to control the party, 1t Is said, but the fact that followers of Wilson would never accept his leadership eliminates him as a presidential pos sibility. according to indications.
 There Is likewise gossip that demo- crats cannot join enthusiastically in crusade. having for its object the elevation of former Richmonds, either Cox of Ohio, or McAdoo of California. At present 1t Is unde- laiably true that Governor Smith of New York. who swept that state from top to- bottom; ex-Governors Ralston of Indiana, and Ferris of Michigan. who displayed dynamic power in normally republican strong holds, are deeply impressing those anxious to elect a democratic presi- dent of the United States
 Progressives to Control
 Word came to Washington that progressive republicans will organize the Senate after March 4, and rele- gate to the discard Lodge of Mas sachusetts.1 This they can achieve Witnout tiOublct IL is Sdlup WlIH tho retirement of Underwood of Ala bama as minority leader, and the elimination of Pomerene, struggle impends between Reed of Missouri, and Pittman of Nevada. Harrison of Mississippi, will probably not not be available because of the disinclina- tion to elect another southern demo- crat, especially on the eve of a presidential election. As both Reed and Pttman supported Underwood, the Alabamian's influence will prob ably be withheld, but the Wilson fol- lowing going to Pittman as against Reed, will result in his election, it is judged highly probable.
 Democrats in the House. even if they do not control, intend to dis place Kitchin of North Carolina, who on account of illness has been absent longer than year, and elect Garrett of Tennessee, leader. It is not be- lieved that the national committed man. Cordell Hull, reelected from Tennessee, will oppose his colleague. Gillette will be reelected speaker. but without enthusiasm, 1t is said. although there promises to be a real battle against the ambition of Long, worth, Alice Roosevelt's husband, to be a leader of the majority
