| They Are Afraid the Democrats win
Carry the Montana Election.
| WASHINGTON, July 2d.-As the results of
to days conference at the White House be-
| comes known it is found that it was
most important. Senators Chandler, ALI
son, Cullom and Dolph called lust about
! Cabinet meeting time, in order to have
more representatives of the Administra-
| ton present, as they desired to talk very
seriously over the situation and to make a
move towards forming strong plan of
| campai.n
The small majority by which the Repub-
llcans will hold the next House, and the
! responsibility that rests upon them makes
il important that no slight advantage pos
| sible by party organization should be lost
| Especially is it important thar they should
| carry everything at the elections in the
! new States.
Nominations in these States will occur
| very soon now, and the elections fixed for
| October.
The Democrats are doing some great
work in Montana, and this has aroused the
present activity on the part of Republican
| leaders.
On two things there was a concurrence
OF opinion. They are, first that the cleo
ton in Montana must not be left to take
| care of itself, but should be looked after bv
the National Committee. Second. that
there must be an extra session Of Congress
called to meet in November. That is, as
soon as possible after the new State cleo
tiOns. These two things are of vital i'm
pOrtance TO the party. 4 slip in the new
States might prove disastrous and the cleo
tionS then cannot be left TO chance. The
recent Democratic success in Montana
have caused some anxiety for the little
l nm TgNr-r
Chandler Mr.. Allison, and the rest are not
running any more IisE III the matter than
| necessary. They do not know how well
the Democrats may be organized for quiet
work
The President also is alive to the necessi-
ties OF the situation, and advises strong and
complete party organization. While he
can do nothing IN the matter himself, he
sees the importance to the party that the
National Committee should keep an eye on
the Montana elections.
THE SITUATION SERIOUS.
The situation is more serious than gen.
orally regarded, for If by any hook or crook
the Democrats should elect five Congress
| men from four of the new States the pres
ent Republican majority of three in the
next Congress would be wiped ont entirely
| and the Democratic majority of two estab-
lished. Of course, that is not generally be-
heved likely to occur. but even if they carry
| Montana, and it is very possible they will,
the Republican majority will be sill but
meager, as the House would stand 16S Re-
publicans to 164 Democrats
The quorum of the next House will be
l66, thereby If Democrats should resort to
dilatOry tactics and demand a Quorum
the absence of three Republican members
would emba:rass the leaders greatly. Con-
sequently the conference advised an at
| tempt to strengthen the majority by carry
ing Montana also. This would give a ma
jOrity of eight, or three more than a quo
rum. A number of leading Republicans
of both houses will be asked to go into the
Northwest and help carry all four of the
! new States.
Senator Quay will also give it his per-
sonal attention.
