r ? t 0. P. HAS MAJORITY. KEWBERKY APPARENTLY HAS BEATEN FORD FOR SENATE. I \ V In House, Republicans 239; Democrats 194; in Senate, Republicans 49; Democrats 46. . Washington, Nov. 8.?A RepubliL can majority in the next congress of ? at least two in the senate and of not Br less than forty-three in the house Bt was assured from returns today B from the scattering doubtful districts V of last Tuesday's election. Word W from Detroit of election in Michigan, L upon almost complete unofficial reL turns of Truman <H. Newberry, ReV publican candidate for the senate, N over Henry Ford, Democrat, increased the Republican roll to forty-nine, a bare majority. The Democrats have forty-six with the Idaho contest between Senator Nugent, a Democrat, and former Governor Gooding, still in doubt on the face of almost complete unofficial returns. Nugent has a majority of nearly 500, but Gooding has demanded an official count, which will be made November 15. v Returns form the last missing bouse district?the Second Montana ?where a Republican was elected to the seat held by Representative Jeannette Rankin, unsuccessful independent candidate for the Senate, were j: received today. Political Line-Up. On the face of the now complete ' unofficial returns the political line-up of the next house is as follows: r Republicans, 239; Democrats, 194; Independent, 1; Socialist, 1. ft - ; Prospect of holding not less than ? forty-nine seats in the senate regardless of the outcome of the Idaho contest; place the Republicans in^a po? sition to take control of the senate m from the Democrats and reorganize f it. With forty-nine votes necessary ty,eontrol, however, Republican leaders realize that organization will de- ; pend upon unbroken partisan alignments. They recall that even before the Democrats swept into control of the senate with President Wilson's g-;:/ inauguration in 1913, they had a majority of the Senate, but were unable, because of Republican factional defection, to elect former Senator Gallinger president pro-tempore. :^-CWhen the new senate convenes March 4 next, however, such difficul?< . ? ties, according to rtepuDiican ieauem, ^ . are not expected. ' ? Effect on Policies. ,v V ! Republican control both, of the senate and house and harmony of action between the Republicans of both bodies are expected to have . much effect upon legislative policies. Like the reorganization of the fV house Republican organization of the t senate'principally affects chairmanv Alps and majority control of comlv' mittees besides legislation. Seniorih ty or service is the almost unbroken precedent in the senate as in the '-,J: ?i" ~N 'i , , ;0&: house of electing committee chair: 'men. With the Republicans holding in -fttact their majority to organize the senate Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, under the seniority rule, would / : succeed Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, as head of the foreign relations committee. Although the be^ . Kef here now is that the peace treaty I will be ratified before Democratic controls ends, this committee will 5 ' have many important after-the-war i||<f problems. Chairmanships. - ^ Heading the powerful senate fl\' nance committee, with its jurisdiction over bond and tax legislation, *- " J- T-? _ B D/.nn WOUld oe senator renrose, ot rcuu? *" sylvania, in plafce of Senator Simmons, of North Carolina. -* Senator Warren, of Wyoming, ts expected to head the appropriations committee of which Senator Martin, of Virginia, now Democratic leader, is chairman. Mr. Warren is senior ' . member of the military and agriculture committee, but is expected to I prefer the appropriations committee chairmanship. The military affairs committee, of .; which Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, is chairman, is expected to go to Senator Wadsworth, of N. Y., next ih line after Senator Warren to sethe chairmanship. K The naval committee chairmanship, held by Senator Swanson, of Virginia, is regarded in doubt. Ranking Republican members are, in order, Senators Penrose, Lodge, Smith Oi Mienigan, fage 01 vermoui, auu Pojpdexter. Wilih Senators Penrose and Lodge heading the finance and foreign relations committee, and Senator Smith retiring, Senator Page is next in line for the chair^ manship, but is expected to prefer the agricultural committee chairmanship, leaving Senator Poindexter to take the naval affairs. Pest Upon Preferences. The judiciary and commerce committee chairmanships also rest upon preferences finally made by ranking Republicans. Senator* Nelson, of Minnesota is senior on both. If he ? *.?v7 * # - - '-V* '* ' should choose the latter, of which he was once chairman, Senator Dillingham, of Vermont, who once headed the immigration committee, would be in line for the judiciary body, and if Senator Dillingham should prefer his old committee Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, ranks next, for the judiciary leadership. Preferment by Senator Nelson for the judi* ciary committee would leave Senator Jones, of Washington, in line for the commerce committee. The interstate commerce committee, with its jurisdiction over legislation affecting government control in th#? railroads and teleeraDh and (telephone wires, falls to Senator Cummings, of Iowa, as successor to Senator Smith, of South Carolina. Besides these preeminent committee chairmanships, prospective chairmen of other important committees! follow: Banking and currency: Senator McLean, of Ohio, vice Senator Owens, of Oklahoma. Privileges and elections: Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, vice Senator Pomerene, of Ohio. Manufactures: Senator La Fol- j lette, of Wisconsin, vice Senator Reed, of Missouri. Postoffices: Senator Townsend, of Michigan, vice Senator Bankhead, of Alabama. Education and labor: Senator Borah, of Idaho, vice Senator Smith, of Georgia. # Senator Lodge is scheduled to remain leader of the Republicans, *with Fresh Ov t Fresh Norfolk 0; regularly.
