To Reduce the Democratic Majority.


WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The Republi-
can subcommittee on congressional
elections have been holding private ses-
sions here for two days for the purpose
of figuring out what can be done to re.
duce the Democratic majority in the
house Edward Mcpherson and Rich.
ard G. Kerens are extremely sanguine.
The purpose is to break into the Demo-
cratic representation from the south,
electing Alliance men if not Republicans
wherever it is possible, SO as to prevent
the Democrats from organizing in the
next house. In the Fifty first congress
the Republicans had seventeen repre-
sentatives from the south. In the pres
ent congress they have but four. Mr..
Mcpherson figures that they can elect
twenty-three Republicans from the
south to the Fifty. third congress. Mr..
Kerens says that four Republicans will
be elected in Missouri, and Representa-
tive Houk, of Tennessee counts On three
from his state.
