NEW LEADERS TO BE SEEN Senate to Have Only Four Progxes elves on Roll Xew . Organiza tion Worse Off Than Pop nlist Party of Old. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nor. 28. Complete returns on the congressional election show con clusively that the recognized minority party in the 63d Congress will have to be the Republican party. The re turns show that among the minority members of the House. 128 were elected as ReDUblicans and only 15 as Pro gresslves." The Senate will have four "Progressives" only. On this basis, it is utterly absurd to set up the claim that the "Progressive" party will be xne recognised minority in ma uoai Congress. Regardless of previous partisan affiliations: regardless of the Presl dentlal tickets which received the In dividual support of the respective members of the new House; regardless of the possible deadlock in the Senate that may result from dickers and trades between Democrats and "Pro gressive" Republicans and actual Bull Moosera In that body, the minority organisation In the House and Senate will be dominated by the Republican party and its chosen leaders. It is also true that there will be new Re publican leaders in the next Congress, resulting from the fact that many of the old leaders will retire on March 4. 'Prosrrealvea' Namber Only IB. The next House of Representatives will comprise 435 members, of whom tit are Democrats; the total minority will number 143. As the "Progressives" number only IS in all, they will amount in the aggregate to less than 4 per cent of the total membership. This Is a nucleus for a new minority organisa tion which by no means approaches the Populist organisation that existed In the 6Jd and 63d Congresses. As a starter It represents a scant third of the original insurgent membership of the House as it stood at the heyday of Its power, when Speaker Cannon was deposed from membership on the House committee on rules. Of the 128 members of the nominal Republican minority In the House, there are St "progressive" Republicans who can be counted upon to hold out for the inclusion of many of the prin ciples enunciated In the Bull Moose platform as a part of the legislative programme of the minority. It will be seen that this leaves still 102 members of the minority In Congress' who are sufficiently steadfast In their Republi canism their adherence to the name and title of the National Republican party to make the final analysis show that the actual line-up will be: Minor ity organisation men. 102; new party men and sympathisers, 41. This is a net Republican majority of 61 in the . minority membership of the House. Four Await Fllnn's Orders. There is a complication which Bill Fllnn, of Pittsburg, may Insert in this tabulation. Pennsylvania this year elected four Representatlves-at-Large, A. R. Rupley. J. M. Morln. A. H. Walters and F. E. Lewis. All four of them are of Republican antecedents and previously intimate "Republican affiliations. Their natural disposition would be to caucus with the Republl can House organization, but they will do exactly as Mr. Fllnn tells them, and so far Mr. Flinn has not sent them word as to whether they are Repub licans or Progressives or whether, for convenience sake, they shall for trad ing purposes enter Congress under the title of the "Washington Party," which was the third party designation on Pennsylvania's official ballot. Representatives allied with the "Pro gresslves" and who will from the first day of the new Congress refuse to have any official connection with the Republican party are: California William Kent. J. I. Nolan, C. W. Bell, William D. Stephens. ' Illinois Charles M. Thompson, Wll Ham Hinebaugh. Kansas Victor Murdock. Michigan R. O. Woodruff, W. J. Mc Donald. Oregon A. W. Lafferty. Pennsylvania H. W. Temple, W. J. Hullings. South Dakota C H. Dillon. Washington J. A. Falconer, J. W. Bryan. ' Alignment Subject to Change. Now as to the "Progressive" Repub licans: "This list Includes the 26 mem bers whose affiliation with the Repub lican party is preserved almost wholly by one of two causes, an indlsposl tion to relinquish a sadly tenuous hold on the party named or a certain sense of loyalty to the old organization. They are: Ira C. Copley, Illinois; Gilbert N. Haugen, Iowa; C. E. Mapes and L. C. Crompton, Michigan; Sydney Anderson, Charles R. Davis, George R. Smith, Charles A. Lindbergh. A. J. Volstead, C. B. Miller, Halvor Steenerson and James Manahan, Minnesota; C. N. Sloan and S. R. Barton, Nebraska; H. T. Helgesen, George M. Young and P. D. Norton, North Dakota; Burton L. French, Idaho; George W. Edmunds and W. D. B. Afney, Pennsylvania; Henry A. Cooper, J. M. Nelson, W. J Carey, J. A. Freer, Irvine Lenroot and E. E. Brown, Wisconsin. This list, it should be pointed out, is by no means final. It includes men who have shown themselves to be what is popularly called progressive either In their record In the House or else In the character of the indorsement given them before election in their district. For this purpose their designation as Republicans of progressive tendencies Is a forced designation. For example: Mr. Lindbergh, of Minnesota; Mr. Haugen. of Iowa, and Mr. Nelson, of Wisconsin, have, in prior congresses. shown themselves to be liberals of the most extreme type radical and ultra radical, whenever opportunity afforded in legislative matters. Mr. Stephens, of California, and Mr. Edmunds, of Penn sylvania, have shown only the faintest of progressive inclinations In their early careers, so that this Is not a hard and fast classification, and there may be cbanges In the' alignment when the next House gets down to organiza tion.

FIRST ARREST DUE TODAY Superintendent of Traction Company to Be Charged With Violating Ordinance ) State Law's) Scope Is Also to Come TJp. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 28. (Special.) A. L. Kempster, general superintend ent of the Puget Sound Traction Light & Power Company will be arrested to morrow, on a warrant charging him with a violation of the city ordinance which requires an lnterchance of trans fers by all streetcar companies within the city limits. The warrant was sworn out before Municipal Judge John B. Gordon by Superintendent of Public Utilities A. L. Valentine.. The purpose of the arrest Is to test the validity of the ordinance which he is charged with violating and at the same time determine whether the city or the state public service commission has authority to regulate streetcar companies as well as other public serv ice corporations. - Specific. Charge Filed. The specific charge against Kempster is that he directed company employes to refuse . to issue transfers to the Loyal Street Railway line, running out of Ballard, owned and operated by Harry W. Treat. The arrest of Kempster is based on an opinion from Corporation Counsel James E. Bradford. "Judge R. B. Albertson, in the strap hanging case," Bradford says, "holds that the act of 1911 vests in the public service commission and takes away from the cities within' the state all power of regulating public service corporations within their limits and therefore that the City of Seattle has no power whatever authorizing It to adopt a strap-hanging ordinance. City's Right Declared. j "It is the contention of the city, how ever, that we have such power and possess the right to exercise it up to and until sucn time as tne state com mission Invokes Its own . jurisdiction and power; that If for any reason the state commission should, fall refuse or neglect to act, then the city, during such time, has the. right to act in the premises. "If tne supreme uouri snail airirm the lower court In the strap-hanging case, then the cities within the state will be entirely powerless In regulating public utilities." crop here. Major H. B.

You Lazy Stomach! Make Your Stomach Cheerfully Do Its Work Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets Digest Your Food and Assist the Stomach. People who complain they are worn to a frazzle are nearly always dyspeptic and are recommended to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The stomach gets lasy, food ferments and sours, gas belches . up. there are symptoms of bloating, the blood becomes thick and sluggish, the liver is blamed, the head Is heavy, the mind a blank and the dining-room Is a chamber of horrors. One of the greatest evils of our mod ern life Is the quick lunch. To this evil, as much or more than any other, may be traced the preponderance of the stomach troubles of our times. In stead of taking time to thoroughly masticate the food before swallowing It, the average person rushes through the meal, bolting the food, deglutition taking place while it is only partially mixed with saliva and only half mas ticated, thus leaving the stomach to do the. work the teeth should have done. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain digestive elements, a single grain being rapable of digesting 3000 grains of food. Including meats, eggs, grain, vegetables, starches and mineral mat ters. They prepare every particle of food by thorough digestion for ready absorption and assimilation by the lacteal glands, which pass it into the blood, whence it Is conducted to all parts of the system, rebuilding and revitalizing it. Every druggist has Stuart's Dyspep sia. Tablets In stock and sells them at SO cents a box.
