JOHNSON TURNS
SCALES IN SENATE
Election Gives Independents
Observation-Disclosures
Faces Hard Row.
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

The election of Magnus johnson in
Minnesota as farmerlaborite makes
more chaotic than ever the situation
In the United States Senate
On the eve of an unusual presi-
Dental election year it virtually
throws the control of upper branch
OF Congress into the hands of the
democrats and the independents.
Anything like an administration
program" at the coming session of
Congress is expected to be impos-
sible of execution.
World Court SheIved.
President Harding's world court
proposals have been shelved for the
remainder of his term as President.
Not unless he should be reelected
In 1924 will he have an opportunity
to push his court plan through the
Senate. The only chance for favor
able action upon the plan rested with
the democratic senators and their
help has been tossed away by the
Presidents insistence that the world
court be divorced in every particular
from the league of nations which
created it.
Since their unexpectedly hard knocks
in the campaign of 1922 the republic
cans have lost three members of the

bingham of Vermont. democrat.
Alva Adams, has been appointed to
succeed Nicholson; farmer-labor
man, Johnson, has been elected to
succeed Nelson, making a complete
loss of two votes to the republicans.
There is no question as to the sue
cessor of the late Senator Dilling-
ham. He will be republican of the
old school. for Vermont ever remains

ocratic and progressive sweep Of 1872.
A compilation made today at the
Capitol officially CLASHES the Senate,

democrats. 40; farmer-laborites, 2; re-
publican vacancy, |.
Figures MiSIe Fading.
On the face of the returns" this
would seem to give the republicans a
fairly safe working majority of six
votes when the republican successor
10 Senator Dillingham; shall have been
appointed
But this majority fades into thin
air when it is analysed. for classed
a s republicans are such senator's as
Brookhart of Iowa. La Toilette OF
Wisconsin. and Frazier of North Da-
kota They are the very Senators
that Magnus Johnson announced to-
day he would consult and follow as
soon as he goes to Washington. They
are entirely Independent of any re-
publican leadership or control. Their
votes are not counted upon by the
republican leaders any more than
would be the vote of an Independent
democrat. With these three senators
completely off the republican reserva-
ton, SO far as any administration
guidance is concerned. the republican
majority in the Senate is nil and
republican leadership is worse than
thankless task.
Party leaders will not have an easy
time. for in addition TO dealing with
Brookhart. La Toilette and Frazier.
they will also have to be constantly
bringing into line such senators as
Lenroot of Wisconsin. Borah of Idaho,
and Johnson of California, whose in
dependence of party control is we'll

Washington. it may be said, is look
ing forward eagerly to the advent of
Senator Mangus Johnson, or Senator
Yohnson. as he calls himself. The new
senator from Minnesota says he can
not pronounce the English j." and is
proud of it. He says there should be
no danger of confusing him with Sen
ator Hiram Johnson because the other

also has been looking for senator,
who, physically, as well as politically.
to be true of Senator Magnus. In his

been so thrilled as by the prospect of
