WASHINGTON. November 14. Champ
Clark speaker of the house reached
Washington Tuesday and conferred with
democratic leaders regarding the congres-
sional election which according to the
latest unofficial returns leaves control
of the next house in doubt. The speaker
first conferred with Representative
Doremus of Michigan chairman of the
democratic congressional committee who
predicted despite unofficial returns In
dicating the election of five more repub
licans than democrats that the final can-
vass would give the democrats control.
and the speaker would be re-elected.
On the other hand. Representative
Woods of Iowa chairman of the repub-
lican congressional committee was In-
sisting that complete returns would show
republican gains instead of losses and
that republicans would dictate the or-
ganisation of the house.
representative Doremus claimed early
In the day at the White House that 212
democrats' and only 211 republicans surely
had been elected and that there were
nine doubtful districts. He reiterated
this later to Speaker Clark. Senator Stone

ers enumerating districts which he
believed would show democratfc victories

DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS

ment of doubtful districts at the Informal
conference of party leaders claimed of

and show election of W. O. Martin dem-
ocrat over W. P. Martin progressive pro-
tectionist. In Louisiana; Zebulon Weaver

In North Carolina: Thomas J. Scully

In addition Mr. Doremus Insisted that

hsd excellent chances of ultimate success.
He said that despite reports of the
electio of Miss Jeanette Rankin repub-
lican in Montana by a majority of 400.
that Harry B. Mitchell had won by a
umloritv or 10.000. Tills information he
said had come from several sources.

trict on the official count Tuesday Camp-

the conference that the situation was
very interesting.
"The only thing to be done." said the
Pker "la to watch the official count In
all the districts and wait for the tf lnal re-
sults. Three times In the history of the
government there have been prolonged
contests over the election of a speaker.
Twice it took three months and once It
required two months and a half to elect
the speaker. The first long fight was In
1M1 when Howell Cobb of Georgia was
elected speaker after a fight lasting more
' iiiunins. aurinu wnmn no partv
could get a majority. The fights which
lasiea tnree months ended In the election
of uovernor Pennington of New Jersey
In I860 and General Banks of Massa-
chusetts In 1856. The struggle was hot
In both these contests and thev were
only determined after the house had
adopted a resolution which provided that
only 10 more ballots be taken and If on
tho tenth ballot no candlda'.e had a ma-J?rtt-yj
I". mn who hl the plurality
should be declared elected. It was agreed
that enough members would change their
votes after the tenth ballot to give the
candidate with the plurality the legal ma-
jorlty. "The most interesting of these contests
was that In lSGt. John Sherman repub-
lican of Ohio was the leading candidate.
Kvery time Sherman would appear to be
near of election a member named John B.
Clark of Missouri no kin of mine a rad-
ical secessionist would denounce Sher-
man for having recommended an aboli-
tionist book written by a man named
Helper.
"These speeches ended Sherman's
changes and Banks finally was elected."
