The Sixty-Fourth Congress

MANY important matters will come before the United States Congress in the session which opened Dec. 6, 1915. As the decision in many cases will be greatly influenced by party politics, a statement of the personnel of both House and Senate may be of interest. We present a table published in the Washington Post:—

The Senate

Democrats .................... 55 Republicans .................. 40 Progressives .................. 1 Democratic majority .......... 14

The House

Democrats ................... 229 Republicans ................. 197 Progressives .................. 6 Independent ................... 1 Socialist ..................... 1 Democratic majority .......... 24 Total membership ............ 435

There is one vacancy in the House, caused by the recent death of Samuel A. Witherspoon, of Mississippi.
