REPUBLICANS HOLD' MAJORITY IN HOUSE. AND IN SENATE

The election held last Tuesday was one of the most momentous in the history of the country. Two years ago there was landslide, which, com ing on top of the great landslide that carried the republicans into power in 1918, gave to the democrats only small voting minority in the house and senate. The new houses will be composed of approximately 200 re- publicans in the house and 199 demo- crats, while the senate will have 51 republicans and A democrats. The present membership of the house is 299 republicans and 131 democrats, which leaves a number of contests still in doubt. If the democrats should carry the doubtful elections they will have a working majority in the lower house.
 During the past two years the re- publican majority has been unwieldly, and especially as many of these men were elected without regard to their qualification for the position of law making they have proven burden to the menjwho wanted to put over con structive legislation. It cannot be said that the democrats interposed ob- struction, as these men wanted to get the country going on a firm basis Jas did the real men of the republican majority. With the new alignment we expect to see legislation worth while, as the democrats and progressive re- publicans will hold the edge in the two houses.
 Not alone were the democrats suc- eessful in the election of large num- Der of senators and representatives, but they also gathered in some of the big gubernatorial plums, such as New York, Ohio and Michigan. Some stat es gave place to democrats that have never before voted that way. Below we are giving the results so far as known:
