STANDING OF THE HOUSE AND

Situation Unparalleled In Election of 1916 Will Go

THK presidential contest of 1916
will go down as one of the
closest and most bitterly fought
battles of ballots in the history
of the United States. Not alone was
President Wilson re-elected bv a very
small margin, but the election once
more proved the truth ef the popular
assertion that "every vote counts."
Hew close the popular rote was in
many states may best be judged by
recaliisj that New Hampshire, at drat
placed in the Republican celumm, was
later claimed to be In the Democratic
column and that the Democrats assert'
ed they had won 1b that state by less
than 200 rotea. New Hampshire again
returned to the Republics* column by
a small margin and still later was call
ed doubtful.
The Congress Sitmatiem.
• It is asserted that President Wilson
Will hare trouble in dealing with the
Sixty-fifth congress. The returns indi
cate that, while his party will control
the senate by a majority of twelve, it
may not control the house. There are
435 seats, and it will take 218 to con
trol that body. The Democrats appear
to have elected 215 and the Republic
ans 211. Five seats are in doubt, and
there is one Socialist, one Independent,
one Progressive and one Protectionist.
The Democrats on the face of the
returns have a plurality and can elect
a speaker unless the representatives of
the minor parties combine with the
Republicans. A fight for the speaker
ship between the two parties may take
place. It will be the first time since
before the civil war.
In the upper branch Republicans
gained one senator each in New York,
New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio and
two in Indiana, where Thomas Tag
gart, the Democratic leader of the
state, went down to defeat.
Notable among the senators elect
are Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota,
who prosecuted the Standard Oil com
pany, and Philander C. Knox of Penn
sylvania, who was secretary of state
under Taft.
