The indications are that there have been great gains
throughout the entire country, and while the Democrats
may not carry the house of representatives there will be
a gain of more than 125 members. The Republicans will
still hold the senate, for one-third of the senators are
elected every two years and this time those to be elected
are most of them strong Republican states. 1
