Democrats Will Have a Safe Working
Majority In the National House of
Representatives, but Republicans
Have a Majority In the Senate.
The political upheaval of Tuesday
was followed by a general survey of
the field, which disclosed with
greater detail and precision Just what
results had been accomplished.
Later calculations on the national
house of representatives, based on
complete, but unofficial returns, show
that the democrats will have a safe
\i’orking majority of thirty.
The republicans are assured of six
teen new senators, which, with the
thirty-four hold-over senators, gives
them a total of fifty. The democrats
ere assured of fifteen new senators,
which, with twenty-five hold-overs,
elves them a total of forty.
G. O. P. Has Senate.
These determined totals, however,
leave a republican majority in the
senate as follows:
Total membership, 92; necessary to
majority, 47; republicans, 50; demo
crats, 40; doubtful, 2.
The sixteen republican senators con
sidered assured are from California.

Senator Bacon Talks of tne Late
Democratic Victory.
The political revolution which up
set the precedents of a generation and
changed the political complexion of
the house of representatives presages
a democratic viptorv in the presiden
tial fight two years hence. Such is
the talk in Washington, where the
df'mocratic tidal wave throughout the
country has been the only subject of
discussion.
The people of the nation, angry be
cause of broken promises for gen
uine tariff revision and resentful over
the increased cost of living, have
turned toward the minority party.
The leaders of democracy in the na
tion believe the party will measure
up to this responsibility.
“We must sit steady in the ship,”
remarked Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
in commenting on this phase of the
political situation. “The people of the
country have turned to the demo
cratic party because of the dissatis
faction with the tariff record of the
party in power. As I interpret it the
result is more than anything an ex
pression of the. dissatisfaction with
the high cost of living. Now that we
have the opportunity, the democrats
in congress must be wise and cau
tious so that the positions taken with
regard to public questions will merit
the approval and confidence of the
people. I, for one, believe that the
party will measure up to its regpon-
tibility.”
Q 3RGIA ELECTIONS.
Gordon Lee Wins Over Akerman In
Seventh District.
News from Athens, Ga., indicates
that after the bitterest fight ever con
ducted in this district in a congreg
sional election, Samuel J. Tribble has?
won but over the incumbent congress
man, William J. Howard, by 2,410 ma
jority. He carried nine of the twelve
counties in the district, losing his
home county, however.
Both were candidates in the demo
cratic primary of August 23 and z
difference of four \otes in Elbert
county caused a contest. The majority
falling first on one side and then the
other, both filed icontests.
Tribble’s contest was withdrawn.
The district executive committee de
cided the contest filed with them by
Howard in favor of Howard. Mr.
Tribble’s friends did not recognize th€
action and named aaother committee
which declared Mr. Tribble the regu
lar democratic nominee.
