The legislature will be- republican
in both houses. The republicans will
have thirty-six members of the senate
to fourten democrats and seventy-six
members of the house to thirty-two
democrats, making a republican major
ity on joint ballot of sixty-six.
This will insure the election of a
republican senator, and it is probable
that Senator Dolliver will be re-elected
without opposition.
The result of the election seems to
have settled the question of the suc
cession to Walsh as democratic mem
ber of the national comihission from
Iowa in favor of Wilbur March of
Waterloo.
Swings County to Democrats.
Mr. Marsh took an active part in
the campaign and succeeded in turning
Blackhawk county, where he lives,
from one of the strongest republican
counties in northern Iowa into the
Porter column.
This county gave Roosevelt 8,200
plurality, a,nd three years ago it gave
Cummins 1,331 plurality. This year
it gave Porter 387 rlurality and elect
ed a democrat to the senate, and the
republican candidate for member of
the house seems to have got through
by the smallest kind of a majority.
This is one of the most complete
changes reported from any county In
the state, and the friends of Mr. Marsh
say that his selection as member of
the national commission from Iowa
Is assured.
