(By Asaocliitwl Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, November S.
Presldcnt Roosevelt Is assured of the co
operation of a Republlcan Congrc.-'s. Tho
present Republlcan majority ln that body
ls 84, and there need no surprlse If
thls flgure ls ahnoat doubled, and lt
ls reaeonably certaln to reach a majority
of at leust flfty. /
ln practlcally all dlstrlcls the Repub?
licans have held thelr own, whlle ln some
lnstunces the Democrats have lost, Prob?
ably the most marked of tliese caseB aro
the Fourth and Flfth Dlstrlcts of Call
fornla (Sun Francisco), now representod
by Repreaontatlves Llvernash and "Wynn,
Democrats, whlch returns indlcato havo
baen gained by tho Republicans. In iho
Twelfth Ohio Dlstrict. Taylor, Republl?
can, ls reported to havo defeated Badser,
the sltting Democratlc member, who was
a candldate for re-elcctlon.
The most surprlslng of all the reports,
however, come from the Flfih and Fif?
teenth Mlsfiourl Dlstrlcts, both strongly
Democratlc, and the former represented
by Mr. Cowherd, chairman of the Dcma
craUc CongresBlonnl Campaign Commlt?
tee. Tho Republicans claim to have car?
ried both dlstrlcts.
Have Majority of Fifty.
In the llght pf .these, renjjrts.a.RepublJ.-,.
can majority bf' fiffy ln !.he "Houso ls
consldered a conservatlve cstlmate. Re?
turns from the Southern States show thnt
they havo roiumed the usual Democratlc
majorltles on congressraen as on other
candidates. The State3 of Alabnma. Ar
kansas, Florlda, Georgla, Mlssisslppl,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Texas. all send solld Democratlc delo
gatlons, whllo those from Kentucky and
Vlrglnia probably each wlll send only ono
Republlcan rcpresentatlve, maklng no
change from the present complcxlon. Ten?
nessee wlll contlnue to send two Repub?
llcan congressmen.
There are several solld Republlcan delo
' gallons already reported from northern
Statea, Includlng lowa (wlth one posafble
exceptlon), Kansas, Minnesota, New
Hampshlro ana the two Dakotas. To
these must be added tho delegatlons from
Miilne. Oregon and Vermont, ln whlch
Statos electlons were held prlor to yea
terday.
Other States, such as Mlchlgan, llll?
nols, Ohlo, Pennsylvania. and even Indi?
ana and New Jersey, from whlch the
Democrats hoped for much in .he way of
gains, ngaln send to Congress dclegn
tlons whlch aro preponderatlngly Repub?
llcan.
Where Gains Are Made.
In New York the Republicans wlll
suffer no los* and wlll galn several con?
gressmen and thoy will mako a galn of
at least two In New Jereey and othor
gains aro reported from Maryland nnd
V/est Vlrglnia. Among tho early dis?
patches was ono Indlcatlng tho certaln
return of Speaker Cannon.
lt ls probable the Republlcan majority
ln the Senate wlll show llttle 11' any
ehango from the present voting stronglh
thero.
