Republicans Have Feeble Grasp on Incoming Senate
An analysis notes the House at 434 members needs 218 for a majority while Republicans hold nominally 247. If 30 or more Republicans defect to Democrats a majority dissolves. About 20 Republicans, mostly from Wisconsin, act independently. Democrats number 183 with few independent leanings. Three Farmer-Labor members from Minnesota and two Socialists in Wisconsin and New York City. Dry versus wet divides are tallied by Wayne Wheeler, with 325 dry and 110 wet in the House and 68 dry and 23 wet in the Senate. Wheeler’s Anti-Saloon League figures are treated as likely accurate in absence of other polls. The piece notes the impact of personal history and external influences on congress members.
