OUT | WASH OF POLITICAL IN, BACK VE LAST FALL BET TIRED FROM CONGRESS ™ Changes Occur in 129° Seats in Senate and House as Result of Landslide; Republican Majority Increased ; WASHINGTON, March 4.— One hundred and twenty-| ¢; nine members of the house and senate retiréd today to tee et life. Most of them went ont in the back tidal waye which swep trol of all the functions of the Republicans as well as Democrats, elected for their seats. One or two of the republicans may become’ officials in the Harding. ud- ministration, but the: great majority will know public life no more for two years, at least, and many for a longer «period, if ever. + Champ Clark, one of those who ‘would have retired today, was claim- ed by death two days before the ses- sion ended. A picturesque character among the outgoing members was Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, ro- publican, Illinois, who did: not offer “for re-election. The ateual number of Hoyse mem- bera, quitting was 118, but three of these—McKinely, of Illinois; Harreld, of Oklahoma, republicans and Car- away, of Arkansas, democrat, go to the other end of the capitol.as sena- tors. McKinley's. House record was fourteen years. The political landslide of Novern- ber 2 gave the republicans a much larger working majority in the house —too big in the opinion of some ‘lead- ers. The new extra’ session expected bat be called soon will start with 301 republicans, 132 democrats and one = socialist. The lone prohibitionist in ‘the closing congress under which the country went dry was beaten. There is one man shy—tfr Pennsylvania at-large. ‘The republi wacancy. caus: ed by thé death of the member-elect ‘will not be filled until fall. ' The new Senate, which, convenec today in special ‘session fo act cn mominations by President Hardinc, contains 59 republicans and 37 dem ocrats, giving the republicans a ma- jority of,22 as against only two ma jority during most,of the last con gress, when the line-up generally wac 49 republicans and 47 democrats, Th- “seating of two republicans in January in place of demecrats gave the form er a slightly larger working margi during the last few weeks! For the second time in history th: house will have a woman mémber. Miss Alice M. Robertson, of the Se ond Oklahoma District who bir ata William W. Hastings. For the first time in the history o the House the territory east of ‘the Pdississippi and north of, the Oh, rivers will) dominate legislation, r--| publicans from-that area -being in full contfol and: strong enough © i: overcome ‘all combinations of repui ‘Vicans and demiocratis from ithe Souti) and. west.

Champ Clark is to be succeeded by @ mun new in congress. Although his services was not continuous, Mr. Clarks’ total time was 26 years, run- pte third in that respect to Cannon and Speaker Gillett.

Other Prominent democrats retiring werc Scott Ferris, Okla, and Bee, Texas, brother-in-law of the retiring Post- master General Burleson. Tha delegations from fourteen states. inany of them with small rep- resentation, remained unchanged. Gallivan and Tague, both of Boston, stoop up as the so’e and solid demo cratic representation from all of New England. Ohio, the state of Presiden- tial nominees, sent a solid republican delegation. Thus far there have been no indica- tions of a determined fight to oust Speaker Gillett, or the republican leader, Mondell. Kitchen, long ill and absent, is slated for democratic lea(- er, the job he held while Clark was speaker. Prominent among the twelve demo cratic and two republican senators retiring today besides Senator Sher- man were Senators Chamberlain, of Oregon, former democratic chairman ‘of the military committee; Gronna, North Dakota, former republican chairman of the agriculture commit- ee; Hoke Smith, democrat, Georgia, who was succeeded by Thomas EK.
