Throughout tho life of the Sixty-second congress Pjesidont Taft will "be threatened by tho opposition of both branches of tho national legislature. This 13 clearly Indicated In tho returns from tho elections, and Is a matter of gravo concern to administration lead ers. In tho new congress the house will bo Democratlo by a majority of approximately 56. A gain of nine Democratic votes' will In all probabil ity be registered In the senate. The present Republican majority In tho senate Is 26. The election of nine Democratic senators to take the placo of Republicans reduces tho Re publican majority to eight. The Indications aro that tho Dem ocrats will elect one senator In each of tho following states: New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Missouri, Nevada, West Virginia and Maine. Tho senate, therefore, in the new congress will stand 50 Republi cans and 42 Democrats. There Is In tho senate now, and will be in tho Sixty-second congress, a group of militant Insurgents. Six of these In surgents, joining with the Democrats, would reduce the regular Republican strength to 44 and Increase the Democratic-Insurgent vote to 43, thus wresting control of the senate from tho Republican leadership. Expect OutBlde Help. I Tho Republicans who may be ex pected to join with the Democrats on occasions aro LaFolIctte of Wiscon sin, Cummins of Iowa, Brlstow ol Kansas, Clapp of Minnesota and pos slbly Borah of Idaho. These sena tors have strayed from the party fold before, and Republican leaders hero expect to see them do so again. ' Thoro aro other Republican senators who it Is expected may, In conneo-1 tlon with certain classes or legisla-. tlon, join with the Domocrats and tako away control from the responsi ble Republican leadership. They are' Brown of Nebraska, Crawford of South Dakota and Nelson of MInne-1 eota. The last named senator voted against tho Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. Vcars ago as a member of tho houso he left his party and voted for tho Mills Democratic tariff bill. ' In addition to this, It is pointed out here that Miles Polndexter of Washington and Asle J. Gronna of North Dakota, who now represent their states in tho houso, are insur gents of the most radical type. Judg ing from their past records thoy aro likely to jcln with the Domocrats on the slightest provocation. I While administration leaders are making no comment for publication on tho result, they admit privately that tho Democratic house and a cen ato that may at times bo in control of a majority composed of Democrats and progressive Republicans, will doubtless mako It Impossible for tho president to put through his legisla tive program. Speakership Fight 13 Lively. Politicians .here look forward to a bitter fight over tho speakership when tho Democrats aBScmble In Washington in December, 1911. tonr ganlzo tho house. Insurgency has played havoc with the regular Repub lican organization In tho bouse dur lnj tho past few years. Many Ro- uiX Lending CKAMP CLARK 14 IL Avowed Candidate For Speaker of Next House. publicans and some Democrats are of the opinion that the Democratic organization in tho new congress will be confronted with a like movement. Champ Clark of Missouri, who will bo the favorite nt the beginning of .the race fcr the Democratic speaker ship, Is a radical of the Bryan school. New blood is to be injected into the house Democracy. It comes from the cast and tne west. Tho New York contingent in congress is expected to launch a speakership bcom as an off set to that of Mr. Clark. In addition there Is bound to be a determined contest If Mr. Clark and his follow ers attempt to mako radical changes in the so-called Cannon rules. When the time comes to organize the new house the Republicans will havo to select a minority leader. There Is a good deal of speculation hero as to who will fall heir to this position. Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York has held the post of Republican floor leader since the death of Mr. DIngly. Mr. Dlngly was chairman of the ways and means committee. He was succeeded by Mr. Payne, who became floor leader In accordance with custom. Joseph Cannon as speaker was the actual floor leader, and If ho retains his health ho will appear In the new houso with bells on. Judge Fcrnerilng Wins. Columbus, O., Nov. 10.
