Democratic Ascendency In
States Nenate is well
Beveral Years,
How wide has been the political
revolution of the past two and a half
years is shown by a comparison of the
roll of Senators at the end of 1910 with
the roll of the Benate made up on
March 4 At the earlier date there
were 589 Republicans, Democrats
and one vacancy, Io the new Senate
there are 49 Democrate, 44 Republicans
and three vacancies.
Including two HBtates, Arizona and
New Mexico, that have coms into the
Uauion since 1910, there have been
changes in the Senatorial representa-
tion from ecighteen BStates, Arizona
gends two Demccerats and New Mexico
gends two Republicans. This fact
especially interesting, because the RHe-
publicins kept New Mexico out of the
union for many years lest it should
send two Demociats. The effort,
strongly backed by Theodore Roose-
velt, to admit the two as one Btate
rested on the hope that Republi-
can voters of Arizona would swamp
tue Democratic voters of New Mexico,
Colorado, which had one Democratic
Senator, now has two, Delaware had
