f , '; THE OREGON DAILY , . JOURNAL. PORTLAND, 'THURSDAY ? EVENING, 1 NOVEMBER X 26. 1914. PARTY- CERTAIN OF CONTROL OF 64TH CONGRESS ? Recent Elections Gave Re- .puDiicans Larger nepre- mentation, Nothing More. STANDPATTERS ARE BACK of the Sixty-second congreaa yrho were thrown out in the election lor the Sixty-third here' come back. ' "Uncle' Joe" Cannon Is the most con eplcuoue of thle group, v - "When the voters turned him down In 1912 It wan generally .thought he had been thrust out of .the limelight for good, but here he bobs up like a cork and will prob ably be in the front row of the Repub lican chorus in the next congress. William B. McKinley. the Illinois traction magnate who managed Taf t's campaign, is another who goes back to Washington after two years in se clusion. Nicholas Longworth, who married Miss Alice Roosevelt, is sent back from Cincinnati, fter a like Je rlod of rest. The Longworths were qult popular eodaily In Washington, and their return is being hailed with delight by the permanent aecfion of capital society. . . - - Sulloway of - New Hampshire AdaU of Indiana, William W. ; Wilson . of HU nois and - Focht Qf Pennsylvania are others who managed to "come back," whil Fosa of Illinois and' Mudd of Maryland may be mentioned as having been-returned after being out ot tne house for. four or more years. ; - Harmony In Senate Assured. ' The Democratic majority in ,tbe sen ate insures harmony, but - with the small majority In the bouse a, strenu ous battle Between majority ana mi nority may be expected. The next house wrU contain one So cialist ; He 1 Meyer lliondon, elected from ..the east side of New York to 'succeed Henry Mi Ooldf angle. Demo crat, who will go out of office next March after 1 4 years of continuous service.; Borne point to the election of London as . result of the waning in fluence of Tammany, while others etate that ; the district as lost its Democratic preponderance through re ceiving a. different class of immigrants In recent years. V.-. -' London is the second Socialist to be elected to the house of representa tives, the first being Victor Berger of Milwaukee, who served in the sixty second . congress. . ' ; Of his election Mr. London says: i expect to speak only on Important oc casions. I expect to get fair play. I will have my say and never abuse the privilege." i- : Z - ' - , . " yrogTesslves Troa California, ; Available figures show that the next bouse will contain nine Progressives, as compared with 12 in the present, five of this number coming from Cali fornia, which is the only state in the union the Progressive party has man aged to retain. Illinois, which ' has been considered one of the strongest Progressive states, returned but one representative. The surprise - of all, however, came from Louisiana, where a Progressive, W. H. Martin, was returned from the Third, district. - Just what the local condition was that made his election possible la a state which has elected Democrat after Democrat without op position" is difficult to determine at this distance." West Favors Cut v In Appropriations Wants All Standing Budgets Except . Those for State Xnstitutioas, Abol Lshed by the Xreglsture. Salem, Or., Nov. 26. It is known to day that Governor West will recom mend that all standing appropriations. with the exception of those 'for state Institutions, be abolished by the legis lature. The governor has had consul tations with members of the legisla ture in regard to the matter and It is said that the sentiment is qufte .favor able to it The objection to the Stand ing appropriations Is that it la bidden away in some statute and the legisla ture has no chance to fairly consider It In connection with appropriations. The budget for some department Hhat has no standing appropriation will be pruned, as a rute, while, the standing ones are permitted to go as they read. It is urged in favor of the change that departments will be . ' trimmed down to their needs and fewer "sleep ers" Will ,be carried ottthe payroll ef me state. - " - .;'-, ; It is believed that5Quite a. savlag ; can - be effected byr abolishing ?. the standing appropriations. , ' .. ,J- i i i . i-'. .

J ' : When the sixty-fourth congress tuiiiro tugsuicr ni year ins wuv cratle party will be in control of both branches despite the loud cries of the Republican press that the recent elec tion was a repudiation of the present - administration. True it Is that the large Democratic majority in the house of representa- tlves was reduced to a fraction of ' what It is for the sixty-third congress but in the senate the party of Jeffer son has gained four seats unless re counts in Wisconsin and Nevada, where the votes were breathlessly " close, make a change. Whatever the recent elections may 'indicate, the point to be borne in mind Is that the Democrats have good work- j jng majorities in Dotn senate ana BUUH. . The Democratic party will have a ' majority of 12 in the senate and of ' about 20 in the house. The present senate majority is 6, the house 147. Voters Torglve and rorget. Democrats are free to admit that r their present majority is not a normal . one. having received it when the Re ; ' publican electorate kicked the Repub lican party out of house and home in .1112. That Republicans are being sent nacx to congress from long established .Republican districts is. taken merely . as an Indication that the voters forgive and forget. The return of such men ' as Joe Cannon and Nick Longworth after being out for two years clearly ( proves this. Of the 33 senators elected early this month only eight will be new faces in the senate, and only five will be en tirely new flgurea in the halls of con- gress. i Twenty-four members of the present senate were successful candidates for re-election. One, Charles Curtis of 'Kansas, was a member of a previous ( Senate, and returned after being in private life for two years. r, Oscar Underwood, present Democra tic leader of the house and senator elect from Alabama. Thomas W. Hard . wick of Georgia and R. F. Broussard Of Louisiana, are three who have ."graduated" from the house of repre sentatives Into the upper branch. i1 Wadswortn Standpatter. 1; . . Of the men who go to the senate for jHhe first time, James W. Wadswortn. . Jr., of New York, Is perhaps the most striking figure. In the first place he is only 37 years old. He has served : four years as speaker of the New Tork It state assembly, is a recognized Repub- , llcan leader In the Empire state, a highly suocessful farmer and rancher, ' standpats. warren O. Harding, who is to suc- I eeed Theodore E. Burton, has Ion been ' ' prominent In Republican circles in . Ohio, was lieutenant-governor of the ' state at one time and waa a leader at Mine 1913 convention when Taft waa ; renominated. California's new. senator will be : James D. Phelan, former mayor of San Francisco, who defeated Roosevelt' s', candidate, Francis E. Heney. He sue . ceeds Senator George C Perkins. One of the surprises of the election : , Is the apparent defeat of Governor ; j Francis E. McGovern of Wisconsin by Paul Husting. McGovern has contested '.the election, but it Is more than prob- able that the Democrat Is the victor. . although a Republican governor was ;': elected. ',; Although Ollle James Is senior sen ator from Kentucky the voters of that i ' state chose two senators. Johnson i N. Camden was elected for the unex pired term of the late Senator William '. O'Connell Bradley and J. C. W. Beck- ham, governor of the Blue Grass state from 1900 to 1907, was elected for the full term of six years beginning March 4, 1916. Steve Brodle is reputed to have won . . fame because he took a chance and ,ne wonders what were the feelings of : : Senator Elihu Root of New Tork and : f Burton of Ohio, who are said to have declined to run this year fearing to t . take their chances In a popular eleo- , Uon. Root was sucoeeded by Wadswortn, as rockrlbbed a Republican as Root ever dared to be, and Burton by Hard ing, who certainly is no more progres sive In his tendencies than Burton. In each Instance these men failed accu f rately to guage pubilo opinion for Judging by the votes east for their places each would have been returned to the senate hands down. OaUmger JKeturned Again. Galllnger of Vermont, who is the dean of the senate, having served con tlnuously since 1891. was returned "it without serious opposition, while Boles .. Penrose, who is held up as one of the principal reasons why the Republican ' party was bumped in 1912. had no dif ficulty in securing reelection. And yet ' Roger Sullivan of Illinois, who la . held up as a pernicious type of Dem ocrat, was defeated! ' The reduction of the Democratic majority in the house Indicates mere than anything else a return to normal. The effect of the Progressive vote was nil at this election and so it was natu ral that communities which have sent .Republicans to congress year after year should resume the old habit. 'This is strikingly -illustrated iln Connecticut, a . normal Republican state, which sent five Democrats to congress in the political revolution of 1912, all of whom will go out of office next March to be succeeded , by ' five Republicans. . - . - The most interesting phase of the congressional election la the way many Ben A.
