3 A Memorable K.lectlon.
jnf course by far the most Important
vent In the 1'nlted Plate during lflio waa
tha election for the entire membership of
the popular branch of congress and for a
third of that of the other chamber In which
tha democrat a won a notable victory. The
republican majority of forty-five In the
bouse of representatives chosen In the presi.
dentlsl year isns waa replaced by a demo
cratic majority of sixty-four In the chamber
chosen In 1910. Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri will probably take Mr.
Cannon's place as speaker In the new house
whan It meets In December, 1911. Tha re
publican majority of twenty-four in the
senate which entered office with Taft waa
cut to twelve. Moreover, through the elec
tlona which will be held In 1911 In tha new
Mates of New Mexico and Artiona, the
democratic Una In each chamber may be
strengthened, although the prospect la that
tha republicans will gain tha former state
and the democrat tha latter. Thla division
f favors would be In harmony with tha
vote of those two terrttoriea for delegates
to congress for the paat ten or twelve
rear. This democratic victory, the first
whloh waa won alnca M92, recalls the off-
year majorities for that party in 174, In
JW and In 1890. In all of which years the
democrats made larger galrva In the house
than they did In 1810; but In none of those
year did they capture as many republican
eeate In tha senate
recent canvass.
thay won In tha
Retails aid Iss-ses.
Ona of tha interesting features of tha
campaign was tha heavy Increase In the
socialist vote in many states and tha elec
tion of Victor It. Barger to congress In
ene of tha Wisconsin districts. II Is tha
first nan avar chosen to congress any
where. In the United States on a socialist
ticket, Washington was carried for equal
suffrage, which makes tha fifth state In
which women can vol for all officers up
to and Including tha president on the same
terms aa men, tha others being Wyoming,
Idaho. Utah and Colorado. In those states
several women were elected to the legis
latures. Oregon and Oklahoma defeated
woman-atiffrage propositions, in several
atatea prohibition amendments, to constitu
tions were defeated, notably in Missouri,
wh-we the proposition waa beaten by a
majority of 21S.000.
aurprislng development of tha political
uphe
lHve
eaval was tha choloa of democratic
ernora In atatea usually republican Dix
la New Tork. Wilson In New Jersey, Toss
In llaasaehussetts, Baldwin In Connecticut
and West In Oregon. Harmon's Is a re
election, which makes tha situation partic
ularly significant. Ha waa tha first demo
crat to carry Ohio for governor twice In
succession since before tha time of tha
civil war.
By enabling acta passed by congress In
1914, two ststes. New Mexico and Artiona,
will be added to tha roll In 1111, making
tha total number of states forty-eight, and
.completing tha organisation Into common
wealths of tha entire area of the contigu
ous part of tha United States.
