Three Mentioned For Speakership. Washington, Nov. 0.—Congress ional election returns still were in complete at 9:45 o'clock tonight but it waa apparent that the Republicans had taken control of the house of representatives by a majority of at least 11— probably more. The sonata was vary close with the outcome depending on final returns In Michigan, where Henry Ford was running a close contest with Truman Ii. Newberry, and in Idaho, and le New Mexico. On the returns available, 25 Re publicans had been • looted to seats In tbe house now held by Democrats and seven Democrats had been elect ed to seats now held by Republicans. In the senate, one Democrat had bean elected to a seat now held by a Republican and six Republicans had been elected to seats now held by Democrats. On the returns at hand the house figures ware Republican. 229; Demo crats, 196; Socialists. 1; doubtful. • A majority la 115. In the senate, the return* showed Republicans, 47; Democrats, «6. Aa Uahsavaiis Natl seal Legislation May Fallow. Washington, N<$r. 6.—The political overturn lag which takes from the Democrats control of the house of repaysentatlvce foreshadows an up heaval In national legislative affairs, change* In powerful committee chair manshlpe, and a situation confronting President Wilson which laa paqUelod that confronting Taft Is the midst of hi* administra tion The situation ala* to that L_ ttattr* 'and control of the majority, the possibilities are obvious. They win be increased f the final returns for the senate assure the Republicans control there. First, comas the question' of the speakership, a place which many statesmen and politicians hare de clared it second only to the presiden cy in importance. Representative Mar.n, of lllnoia, tho Republican lead er, would, on the basis of his position, be the logical candidate of the major ity, but that Is complicated by several factors, one of whleb hat been Mr. Mann's continued ill health. There alto are soma factional differences to b* considered. Representative Gil lette, of Massachusetts, actually Mr. Mann's senior in point of servico, has bean acting Republcan leader and it to be reckoned srith in th* calcula tions for th* speakership. There al to has been some talk of Representa tive Longworth, of Ohio, Colonel Roosevelt's aon-in-law, aa a candidate upon whom the Republicans could unit*. Retire Kltsheu a* Floor Leader. Next In importance is the leader ship of th* Democrats when they be come the minority party after March I, naxt. Aa chairman of the way* and means committee. Representative Kitchln, of North Carolina, now is th* Democratic floor loader. He is ex expected to be enpplanted in both placet by Representative Joseph W. Fordnty, of Michigan, one of the old Republican wheel-horses, upon whom will fall a very Important part in car rying out with the treasury depart ment th* government's financial pro gram for tho remaining or the war. Tfcia will prnwnt a situation where a Republican bonne, and probably ten ete, will be dealing with a Democra tic secretary of tho treasury on Ira asanaa financial questions in which they fundamentally may be in dis agreement. At leant two more great liberty loans are to be provided for and no one can estimate tho need for farther war taxation after the end of the fiscal year which the pending war revenue MU U framed to cover. Speaker Clark was minority lendar before the Democrat* came iota con trol. A question to be decided la whether Mr. K itchIn Is to step dawn from that place la the new Congress to give way for Mr. Clark or whether the speaker will be obliged to take places in the usual run of committee assignments. Investigate Executive Centre! 7 There are hi the hoaae several com mittees which have power to invest! gate expenditures of the executive department. Daring control of the Democratic majority th eKepahllreni have been powerless to foragel Inves tigation of thing* which they have attacked. la control of those com mitteee, which la Umax of penes an virtually of do Importance, the field for tits investigation of the Deneocra tic administration by a Republican house la thrown wide open almost on the ere of the next presidential elec tion. The Republicans, of course, do not come Into their position of advantage until the meeting of the new Congress which will be the first Monday in De cember, 1*1 R, unless President Wil son should call it In extraordinary session sooner. The present Demo cratic Congress expires by limitation March 6, 1010. Leaders of both par lias rather believe the Prcaident ertll avoid an extra session if it is possible TWO SENATORSHlrS STILL IN DOUBT.
