shows the Senate will stand:

Democrats, AZ.

with such D slender plurality, in

House Lineup
The lineup Of the House will be:
Republicans, 237.
Democrats, 1876.
Farmer Labor, two.
Socialist, one.
This majority, safer than the Sen
ate, will enable House Republicans
to nullify at least some Democratic
legislation which may slip through
