"For the first time in sixteen years
the h'njf-e i Ml be democratic. The
present house consists of 154 demo-
cratic and -17 republican, or a major-
ity of 43. The sixty-second congress
will consist i f at least 219 democrats
and 172 republicans. The democratic
leeway in the sl.upe of majority will
be *7 fid probably more. In other

TAFT TO URGE PLANS
Next Congress Expected to Put

Washington.—The pressing forward
of the administration's legislative pro-
gram before the accession of demo-
cratic control in congress next ye. r,
was discussed at a cabinet meeting
Wednesday.
Featuring the administrative meas-
ures will be the plan for 1 iseting tec-
ond-class mail abuses by requiring
magazines—not ncv.rpa;.ers.—to pay
increased postage cn advert:?.! :\t
pages sufficient to later warrant 0,1:0
cent postage of first .lacs mail.
The plan will be urged upon c in-
gress at the coming short session.
Tho discussion of the election re-
sults brought out individual views cf
the president and seme of his official
family. It was pointed out that in
the east the most real-harm to the
republican party was acc(.m,-li:-!ied
much because of the out con- in tho

John W. Kern is Elected
Indianapolis.—Senator Beveridge's
hope3 for another term went ; ilmmer-
inj< Wednesday as teturns showed con-
clusively that tiie democrats hr.d cl
ed the majority of the In-.lUinn . rsem-
bly. According to the latest figures

i C'-
Olilchcr.ia ' ky.—One < f the most !
signiLici ut lact. in connection with i
the ivturns received so far is the |
Mr.'!. e < u*.' • y vote, where the pro-1
hniiJcairo wen by a niaj irity of 1«3. j
tl.eiiih it was p. -dl d before the |
el .'.en that the county would go
"wet" by a heavy majority.
^11 cf the "big town" counties were
exp. ctcd to go wet, but Tulsa coun-
ty b voto, though hi favor of the bill, j
p.'ovei that very liitie can be expect-
ed by ti at sido from the counties in
v. i 11oil the larjvcr towns are situated. I
ihe fulsa county vate was 2,242
again; t the bill and 2,(1-11 for it, a ma-
jority of 402.
The table^ prepared • local option
head nun rters and at prohibition head-
qui rters are widely at variance with
each other, and both differ in many
ways from this citife.
One of the most startling evidences
of (he varlpnce between the different
tao es is the »laim as to the vote in
Washington ccnniy. The figures avail-
able how that in Washington county
thfl vote was 1,(38 for the bill and
1.331 against ii. The claim of the lo-
cal opticnirts is that it has gone for
them by a majority of 1,563. The pro-
nbitionUts solemnly assert that they
have carried Washington county by a
E:oj irity of 200. Other Instancc3 sim-
ilarly laughable tnirht be cilod.
Wliat tho ro-iult (f the tleoiiou ia
to be cannot be forecasted. Tho
Riariling vote in Muskogee and Tulsa
counties in its If is enough to cause
a setback to the most assured polit-
ical prophet, and other counties ap-
parently as certainly dry have gone
wet by a startling majority.
Tho on'y forecast that can bo at-
tc:r , ted is one based on tho vote so
far reported. Assuming ti at 450 pre-
cincts have been reported, the vote
erst w t in each precinct is 50, while
ti..* jli'y votes number (il to a pre-
cinct. Based cn the number of pre-
'ints in the et i'e, 2,ii;i0, provided each
one votes in practically tho saem way,
tho final vote will be 140,130 dry and
115,000 wet.
Returns are coming in slowly and
Pt present it i3 unlikely that abso-
lutely accurate r.nd ful! figures will
be obtained before the ofticial counts
