FINAL LINEUP
Oil JEM
Washington. Nov. 11.—The elec
tion returns are practically complete.
The lineup In the new Congress and
Senate will be as follows: Republi
cans in House. 225; Democrats. 207:
Socialists. 1; Independent, 1; Farm
I_-ibor. 1; In the Senate are: Repub
licans. 53: Democrat:.. 42: Farm-La
bor. 1. This gives the Republicans
a majority of fifteen in the House
and a majority of ten in the Senate
Compare this situation with that of
19IV when President Wilson appeal
ed to the country to send back in
Democratic Congress, the country re
sponded with 49 Republicans against
4 7 Democrats in ti e Senate, and 20S
Republicans with 2 progressives. 2
Independents. 1 Prohibition st, and 1
Socialist, against 214 Democrats.
This gave the vote in the House a
tie provided the Republicans could
muster all those outside the two par
ties to their side.
While in 1920, the Republicans
had 59 in the Senate, against the
37 Democrats, and 300 in the House
against the 132 Democrats, and one
Socialist. It would appear from
these comparisons that the next Con
gress is Republican by a working ma
jority.
