Having narrowed the Republican Senate majority almost to a hair's breadth, the Democrats will demand greater representation on the stand- gress than they had on those of the Sixty-ninth.

Since the custom in the past has been to make the relationship on the committees as between the two pa ties conform to the ratio of member- ship in the Senate, the Democrats an ticipate little difficulty in obtaining an ement with the majority. "This furnishes about the only point of serious controversy which might arise between the two parties over Senate organization week after next The subject will be discussed at the Republican conference, which is like- ly to be held one week from today.
