lions there Is a strong probability that the
Democrats will capture two Congress districts

ties o: Fnyette. Greene. Washington. and a
portion OF Allegheny. and in a straight contest

existing had It's first election In 8 9 In that
year. according to agreement, the Republican
Congress Convention consisted OF ten dole-
