WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 "The reor
ganization of the Senate by the Dem
ocrats on March 4 is assured," said
Senator Smith, of Georgia, today, in
summing up the status of the Senate
after March 4.
Senator Smith spoke with assur
ance, due largely to his familiarity
with the situation on account of his
connection with the senatorial branch
of the campaign work. He spent a
month in Chicago looking after the
legislatures in various states.
"We have 30 Democrats who hold
over and five who have already been
elected making 35,v said the Sena
tor. We have Demmocrats from Geor
gia, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Mon
tana, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South
Carolina and two from Colorado who
have been elected in the primaries.
"The Democrats undoubtedly have
carried the Legislatures of New Jer
sey and Delaware, whch insure Dem
ocratic Senators from each of those
states. Advices from Nevada and Ore
gon clearly indicate the election of
Democratic candidates for the Senate.
This would give 49 Democrats, or a
positive majority of the Senate.
Mr. Smith wag inclined to make ad
ditional claims on the states which
are considered doubtful. He said that
according to his advices, the Demo
crats will have a majority of the Leg
islature of Tennessee, which would in
sure a Democratic Senator from that
state. He also counted on further
accessions from Illinois and from
some of the other states.
"We can safely rely on 5ft Demo
crats in the next Senate," he declared.

posed for Seces-
in
If you saw it in the Enterprise it's
80.
Analysis of the vote of the eastern
part of Clackamas County on the
measure providing for the creation cf
Cascade County demonstrates clearly
the claim, made prior to election, that
a majority of the residents of the dis
trict embraced in the proposed Cas
cade County were opposed to the bill
This contention is substantiated by
the returns from the 11 perecincts
making up the territory that was in
the boundaries of the proposed Cas
cade County, and in these 11 precincts
there were only 447 votes in favor
of the measure and 621 votes against.
Eliminating the precinct of Estaca
da, where the county division scheme
was originated, there were only 276
votes for the bill and 587 in opposition
to it. The votes by precincts follow,
according to the unofficial returns:
Bull Run yes8, no 37. Boring yes
8, no 96. Cherryville yes 4, no 32.
Cascade yes 20, no 90. Damascus
Eagle Creek yes 32, no 104. Estaca
yes 15, no 136. Dover yes 5, no 17.
da yes 276, no 34. George yes 7,
no 23. Springwater yes 56, no 28.
Viola yes 18, no 24. It is not regarded
as likely that the official count will
materially alter these figures.

LANE'S LECTION
I
With receipt of complete returns
from every county in the state ex
cepting Curry and Lake, Dr. Harry
Lane's election to the United States
Senate was given additional surety
Friday. The count now gives Lane
36,247 to 34,748 for Selling, his near
est competitor.
Lane's lead over Bourne is 11,871,
while Selling has beaten Bourne in
the state by 10,372. . This latter fact
is of particular interest among the
betting fraternity, as much money was
wagered that Selling ' would have a
lead of 10,000 over Bourne.

Joseph Sheahan, son of William
Sheahan, became a near hero Thurs
day night when he captured a man
supposed to be a burglar on the front
veranda at his home. The young man
pounced upon the alleged intruder the
same as he would pounce upon a man
on the gridiron who was in the act
of pulling off a forward pass. Mr. Shea
hanj had been visiting friends, and,
upon returning home found Henry
Yelkus, known as "Molalla Harry",
an Indian, on the veranda. A front
window wag open and Mr. Sheahan
at once decided that the man had
been in the house. Yelkus was not
only tackled but was battered some
what. T. W. Sullivan, who lives near
the Sheahan home, which is on Water
Street, was attracted, and when he
arrived the young gridiron hero was
sitting on his prisoner. Night Police
man Cooke was called and arrested
Yelkus. He is being held pending an
investigation. An investigation re
revealed that a robber had entered the
Sheahan home and ransaked several
bureau drawers. Friends of Yelkus,
however, assert that he.is an honest
man and happened to do upon the
porch of the Sheahan home as a re
sult of imbibing too much of the fluid
that cheers and later clouds ones
brain. Two attempts to enter the
Sheahan! home had been made before
this one in the past month.
