The balance of power in the next con gress will actually rest with five rep resentatives with independent affilia tions so far as the Democrats and Re publicans are concerned, on th-i face of returns available up to noon today, The Republicans made such gains In the election Tuesday that the Dem ocratlo majority in congress is cut to the point where even th speaker ship might be affected. Present re turns Indicate 'the Republicans will have two mora representatives than the Democrats. The success or fail ure bf legislation that is proposed wnl therefore rest with the votes of a Socialist, a Prohibitionist ivltb. Demo cratic leanings, a Protectionist, an In dependent and , a Progressive. Tint Womaa Xs Elected. In addition, a woman will alt in con. greas for the first time in history. She is Miss Jeanette Rankin of Mon tana, who on latest returns is ap parently elected. Following la the next house line-up on returna gathered by the United Press up to noon today: Republicans, 216.

A majority In tt nous Is 218. It takes that many votes, therefore, to elect a speaker or to enact legisla tion. Either big party, therefore, must get the good will of thoae five men who are aligned with a mailer parties before It can do business In its pwn way. And, Incidentally, these fiv independents will be no more marks than will th "first woman In tho world" to b seated at Washington. Miss Rankin was chosen on th Re publican ticket, but Democrats point out that Bbes a woman, neverthe less."
