SENATE CONTROL IS MADE
CERTAIN BEYOND DOUBT
Democrat! Now Have a Safe Majority
of Two Over Alt Other
Oppoiition
Washington— With the election of
Willard SauUbury as United States
senator from Delaware the democratic
strength In the next senate swung
from the precarious figure of 48 or
exactly one-half senate to the safer
total of 49 a majority of two
Mr Sauisbury’s election added to
the victory recently secured In Ten-
nessee assures the democratic party
absolute control of the senate after
March 4 The vote of Vice President
Marshall would have been the decid-
ing factor in any event but the addi-
tion of another democratic vote to
the column gives the party leaders
what they believe to be a safe mar-
gin for tariff and legislative action
Contests still exist in the legisla-
tures of New Hampshire West Vir-
ginia and Illinois with a total of four
senators to be tlected about whose
political affiliations doubt now exists
A victory in any one of these states
would so materially strengthen the
democratic party that the senate
would be completely removed from
the element of uncertainty The atti-
tude of the progressives and the pro-
gressive republicans upon tariff mat-
ters is as yet unknown but the mar-
gin cf strength promised to the demo-
crats makes it unnecessary It Is be-
lieved to count upon any combination
with the progressives
Of the entire membership of 96 sen-
ators 63 will be held over beyond
March 4 Of these 32 are republicans
and 31 democrats The terms of 32
senators expire In March and there
Is in addition one vacancy In Illinois
Thus far 17 democratic senators have
been elected and the election of Sen-
ator Bacon in Georgia is certain mak-
ing 18 democrats to take the oath ol
office March 4
The opposition forces Including both
the republicans and the progressives
have elected 11 new senators The
senate after March 4 will stand as
follows if the deadlocks are not brok
en In Illinois New Hampshire and
West Virginia:
Democrats 49 republicans and pro
greaslves 43 vacancies 4

SIX-LEHR TERM
IS DEBATED
SENATOR BRISTOW'S RECALL OF
PRESIDENTS 13 VOTED
DOWN
BULL MOOSERS AFRAID OF IT
Amendments Are Offered Thick and
Fast In The General Discussion-
— VaricAja Schemes are
Offered
Washington — Presidential terma
ranging all the way from two to six
years prohibitions against second
and third terms exemptions that
would effect Roosevelt Taft and Wil-
son and proposals for the recall and
the direct popular election of presi-
dents were thrust into the senate In
rapid succession during the first day's
consideration of the constitutional
amendment limiting a president to a
single term of six years
In a session filled with lively debate
Senator Bristow's proposal that a
president could be recalled at any reg-
ular election was voted down 68 to
10 and Senator Hoke Smith's amend-
ment to make the single term four
years instead of six was defeated 43
to 25
Senators Dixon and Poindexter pro-
gressives Bristow progressive-republican
and Lodge republican led tha
fight against a restriction of the presi-
dential term Senator Williams dem-
ocrat proposed a four-year term with
the privilege of re-election once but
his amendment waa so drawn as to
prevent Colonel Roosevelt from seek-
ing another election
The defeat of the BrlBtow amend-
ment for recall of the president fol-
lowed a short debate in which Sen-
ator Bristow urged that to make the
federal administration properly re-
sponsive to public demand the people
should have the right to change the
president when they change congress
The vote on the recall amendment
mustered ten votes only in its favor
the following senators voting for it:
Bristow Clapp Dixon Gronna and
Poindexter progressies and republi-
cans Martine Owen Ashurst Per-
key and Thomas democrats
The candidacies of Roosevelt Wil-
son Bryan and Taft figured in the
fight throughout the day Senator
Borah said President Taft bad not
used the power of bis office for his
own reelectlon in 1912 to any greater
extent than President Roosevelt had
used it In 1908 or the election of Mr
Taft
Senator Dixon's charge that single
six year terms were desired c hiefly by
ambitious aspfranis or the presidency
and the declaration of Senators Bris-
tow and Poindexter that this proposed
limitation would be destructive of
American principles of government
tnade up the burden of the progressive
fight against the resolution
Senator Bristow declared the people
should be free to choose their own
presidents and to reelect a president
when they believed it wise He de-
clared the constitution Bhould include
a recall provision so that when con-
gress is overthrown because an ad-
ministration is not satisfactory the
people alBo could recall the president
and establish a new administration
throughout

COFFEE THRESHED HER
15 Long Years
“For over fifteen years” writes a
patient hopeful little Illd woman
“while a coffee drinker I suffered from
Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble
I was treated by good physicians but
did not get much relief
“I never susected that coffee might
be aggravating by condition (Tea is
just as injurious because it contains
caffeine the same drug found In cof-
fee) I was down-hearted and dis-
couraged but prayed daily that I
might find something to help me
"Several years ago while at a
friend's house I drank a cup of Post-
urn and though I had never tasted
anything more delicious
"From that time on I used Postum
Instead of coffee and soon began to
Improve in health so that now 1 can
walk half a dozen blocks or more with
ease and do many other things that I
never thought I would be able to do
again In this world
"My appetite la good I sleep well
and find life is worth living A lady
of my acquaintance said she did not
like Postum it waa so weak and taste-
less “I explained to her the difference
when it is made right — boiled accord-
ing to directions She was glad to
know this because coffee did not agree
with her Now her folks say they
expect to use Postum the rest of their
lives” Name given upon request
