Democrats H&ve Majority , of Sixty- Seven in House Nine Senators Retire - tire , Many of Whom Haye Long Been Prominent in Upper House. Washington , April 5. The Sixty- second congress met in extraordinary session. The Democrats took possession of the house and put Champ Clark of lissouri in the speaker's chair. In his speech accepting the honor he warned the Democratic memhers that the eyes of the country were upon them ; that the party was on trial , and that it had an opportunity for the first time in sixteen years to prove its worthiness fcr a still higher expres sion .of confidence. William J. Eiysn cf Xol'.rr.sha and Governor Harmon of Ohio were bad ing figures on the floor of the house Had Governor Woodrow Wilson been present the list of generally accepted Democratic 'presidential possibilities would have been complete. The senate' opening was sedate as usual. And while the leadership of the upper branch remains in Republican hands , the change in the personnel was almost as marked as in the house. The galleries were crowded and there was a good attendance of sena tors and representatives. The polit ical complexions of the two branches of congress are as follows : House Democrats , 228 ; Republic ans , ICO ; Socialist , 1 ; vacancies' , 2 , the Ninth Iowa and Second Pennsylvania districts. Senate Republicans , 50 ; Democrats , 43 ; vacancy , 1 , from Colorado. The roll calls in the two branches will show some remarkable changes from the last session. In the house the Democrats show a gain of fifty- four members and the Republicans a loss of fifty-five , the Socialist 'mem ber , Victor Berger of Milwaukee , ac counting for the difference in the equa tion. tion.By By reason of the change resulting from the election last November , new faces are seen. Fifty Republicans in Senate- Instead of the fifty-nine Republicans who occupied seats in the senate on March 4 , there are only fifty today. The ranks of the minority are in creased from thirty-two to fortyone. . More notable even than the large numberof now faces in the senate and the house are the absence of so many veteran legislators. Chief among these whose absence 'loomed large were Tawney of Minnesota ? Boutell of Illinois , Scott of Kansas , McKinley of California , Bennet , Fish , Parsons and Cocks of New York , Hull and Smith of Iowa , Denby.of Michigan , Keifer of Ohio. Cannon appeared in the ranks of the minority. Four mem bers , Hitchcock of Nebraska , Poindex- tor of Washington , Grouna pf North Dakota and Townsend qf Michigan have been elevated to the senate. Senator Aldrich Absent. No longer will the senate roll call oncn with the familiar name of Aid- rich , the Rhode Island leader having voluntarily renounced another term to devote himself to leisure and the study of monetary reforms. He is succeeded by Henry F. Lippitt. Many other striking figures are missed fronr the senate * floor , notably Hale of Maine , succeeded by Charles F. John- ! ; - Beverirlge of Indiana , who was vanquished by John W. Kern ; Kean ol New Jersey , In whose place is James P. Marline ; Warner of MJesourJ , re ] placed by James A. Rood ; Dick o ! , Ohio , replaced by Atlee Pomorene. find Carter of Montana , succeeded by Henry L. Meyers. All of these changes represent Democratic gains except in the case of Rhode Island.
