SENATE IS SURELY
HALF DEMOCRATIC
Gain of Single Member Out of
Half Dozen in Doubt Will
Give Majority.
KANSAS ADDED TO COLUMN
Oregon Is One of Stales Insured as
Instiled Republican-Democratic
Combination In Xcw
Hampshire Possible.
WASHINGTON". Nov. 7. Control of
I!. Senate In the 63d Congress Is now
i : i tlcally assured to the Democrats,
.-onredlng to the Republicans the Leg
Matures of all states still In doubt.
I he Democrats will have a vote of 48.
r Just one-half of the entire mem
bership of the Senate, with a Demo
Tat Ic Vice-President In the chair to
.a.-t the deciding ballot In case of a
lie. Six states are vet to be heard
irom definitely. A Senator from one of
these would give the Democrats a
clear majority, and it Is possible that
their strength will be even further in
creased. Kansas has been added to the Demo
cratic column in the last 24 hours.
The states in which the complexion of
th- Legislatures is yet to be decided
are Illinois. Michigan. New Hamp
shire. Tennessee and Wyoming. Ore
con, where the direct election plan pre
vails, is counted doubtful. Ordinarily
Tennessee could be relied upon to help
the Democratic party, but the factional
tight there may prevent In this crisis.
Illinois Situation Complicated.
In Illinois there are complications
growing out of the multiplicity of
parties, making It uncertain whether
there will be a Senatorial election. In
that state a successor to the deposed
Senator Lorimer should be chosen, as
well as a successor to Senator Cullom.
whose term expires. If there should
be no elections, the effect would favor
the Democrats by reducing the mem
bership of the Senate to 94. of which
number the 48 already assured would
be a working majority.
In New Hampshire, the dispatches
indicate a possible combination of
Democrats and Republicans and In that
rvent predictions as to the course of
the man selected would be mere guess
work. Ilrawraltc Control Not 4onbed.
Whatever the outcome In any of the
states mentioned, there can be no-doubt
ks to Democratic control of tha-Senate.
In addition to the aid of the "Vice
President, in an emergency they will
rtnd willing co-operation among the
Progressive Senators. Three or four
of the Progressives are almost as lib
eral in their tariff views and on other
Questions as the Democrats themselves.
Senators Clapp. La Follette. Cummins,
tironrm. Brlstow and Poindexter are
ell avowed tariff reformers. They also
favor advanced legislation on other
subjects.
Senator Works announced his Inten
tion of voting for the Democratic
Presidential candidate some time be
fore the election. This determination
is due. however, to a peculiar combina
tion, of circumstances and the Califor
nia Senator probably will not wish to
i have It construed as binding on him
I ss to a Democratic, policy. He is classed
as a protectionist.
i Klsjht TrofrMjIrn" Hold Over.
j Of the 31 holdover Republicans,
eight have been classed as Progressives
In the past. They are Brlstow of Kan
sis. Crawford of South Dakota, Cum
mins of Iowa, Gronna of North Da
kota. Clapp of Minnesota. La Follette
of Wisconsin. Toindexter oT-,Washing-ton
and Works of California. Mr.
Norris. of Nebraska, has been one of
the leaders of the Progressive element
In the House and will continue to co
operate with that element In the Sen
ate, as it Is expected that Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa, will and possibly
Senator Borah. of Idaho. In such
measures as may appeal to them.
Much Interest Is manifested in the
political affiliations of the Progres
sives. Heretofore they have' been con
tent to be known as Progressive Re
publicans. Whether any number of
them will be with the Republican party
Is a problem. Senators Brlstow. Clapp
and Poindexter are understood to have"
supported Colonel Roosevelt and If
they should decline to co-operate with
the Republicans of the Senate the
change would materially weaken the
old party.

SKXATORSHIP IS IX DOUBT
'Independent' Democrat May Be
Chosen in Tennessee.
NASHVILLE. Tenn., Nov. 7. Much
uncertainty exists as to the naming of
a successor of United States Senator
Sanders (Rep.), who was appointed by
Governor Hooper to fill out the unex
pired term of Senator Taylor, who died
in office.
The Legislature chosen at the polls
Tuesday apparently Is hostile to ex
Governor Patterson, nominee of the so
called "regular" faction of the Demo
cratic party.
It is contended by "Independent"
Democrats and Republicans that they
have a majority of the Legislature on
Joint ballot and if their contention Is
well founded It Is probable an "Indepen
dent" Democrat will be elected.
Senator Sanders has pledged himself
not to seek re-election and It is be
lieved the Republican votes will be
thrown to an independent Democrat.

In the House and Senate, represen
