The Democrats are greatly troubled over

THE Republicans have fair prospect Of Sc.
curing the next House. Eleven districts were
carried by the Democrats two years agU hy
less than 800 majority. OI these eleven, seven
were carried by less than 100. The Demo
cratic minority in the ii ,usc was only seven,
until by turning out Republicans who had
been elected. II was increased TO fifteen. s.
the Republicans, unless they lose some dis.
tricts already held Oy them, stand u good
/ chance.
