AX AMAZING SPECTACLE
The amazing spectacle of a po
litical Darty gaining strength in one
house of congress, while losing
sharply ia the otner, is still
causing comment among politicians
at Washington City. In the last
election, the democrats made de
cided gains in the senate, b'ut their
majority in the house was reduced
by more than one Hundred. In
short, the democrats lost more than
50 seats in the house, which were
filled by republicans, while in the
senate not a single democrat who
was up for re-election was defeat
ed. while several republicans were
replaced by democrats, notably in
California, where Phelan surprised
t' e country by wincing, and in Wis
consin, where the old time group of
the republican party, after defeat
ing La Follette's frtehds in a
straightout primary fight, was un
able to hold the democrats.
In Illinois, where M?e* victory of
Roger C. Sullivan had been looked
for, the democrats did not lose a
seat, though they lost a splendid
chance to gain one. The same
circumstances prevailed in Ohio,
where Burton, republican will be
succeeded by Harding, republican, in
New York where Rot. republican,
■will be succeeded by Wadswortli, re
publican, in Kansas, where Bris
tow, republican, will be succeeded
by Curtis, republican, and in Con
necticut, where Brandegee was re
elected.
All this brings up the question of
whether the republicans • can gain
control of the senate in the presiden
tiai election two years heirce. Can
tious pronosticators do not believe
it possible, even in the event of a
republican landslide. Should a
republican house and president be
swept into office, wen on a perfect
lidal wave of republicanism, it is be
lieved, it would almost be out of
the question to hope for a repub
lican senate, until the incoming re
publican administration was two
years old.
A glance over the list of sena
tors whose terms expire two years
hence will show the convincing rea
son behind this line of argument.
The democrats, as a result of the
election just over, will nave 56 sen
ators, the republicans 39, and the
progressives one. The terms of
thirty two o£ these will expire iu
1917, their successors being elected
iu tlie fall of 1916 at the presiden
tial election. Of these thirty two,
seventeen are democrats, fourteen
republicans, and one progressive.
The democrats arc; Ashurst, of
Arizona, Bryan, of Florida, Chilton,
of West Virginia, Culberson, of
Texas, Hitchcock, of Nebraska, John
! son, of Maine, Kern, of Indiana,
Lea. of Tennessee, Lee, of Mary
land, Martiue, of New Jersey, M.v
I ers, of Montana, O'Gorman, of New
York, Pittman, of Nevada, Pomerene
of Ohio, Reed, of Missouri, swan
son, of Virginia, and Williams, of
I Mississippi.
The fourteen republicans are:
| Catron, of Now Mexico, clapp, of
| Minnesota, Clark, of Wyoming, Du I
I Pont, of Delaware, La Follette, of j
: Wisconsin, Llppitt, of Rhode Island, !
; Lodge, of Massachusetts, McCumber,
; of North Dakota, McLean, of Conn.
. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, Page, of
: Vermont, SutherJend, of Utah. I
I Townsend, of Michigan, and Works. i
of California.
! The progressive is Poindexter, of I
Washington state.
To get control of the senate at j
the election Wo years hence, it 1
j would be necessary for the repub- j
licans to re-elect all the republican j
j senators in the list just given.'
| counting in Poindexter, or to elect I
| a republican in his place, and to'
'elect republicans in the place of at
least seven of the democrats, pis
regarding the possibility of the
democrats winning in one of the re
I publican states, the republicans hav€
| an excellent chance of defeating the
: democrats in Maine, Ohio, and Ne
| Irraska, but after that the chances
become slim.
This leaves them with four states
co carry for senator now repres
ented by democrats, and the follow
ing list of doubtful states: New
York, West Virginia, Indiana, New
Jersey, and Montana, this year, so |
It would not seem that the pros-j
pects were good there, while
.Montana elected a democrat rep- J
resentatlve this year.
