WASHINGTON. July 22.-There Ia some pol
itics here now. Both sides are talking, and
the doubtful stntes como in for the lions
share of attention. The North Carolina
democrats are not feeling comfortable over
the political outlook in their state. They
feel they are in danger of losing the state
in November and that they will have to
make desperate fight to hold it in line.
Representative Cowles said that he had not
been In = position to judge Ut the situation
for himself. ~ there was not much trouble
in his part of the state, but that reports
which he got from, very good men in the
southern part of the state wore not eucour-

''cemes from men who are usually we'll in
formed. and it leads me to believe that we
have very hard fight on our hands to hold
the state. There 10 q possibility of Harri-
son getting the electoral vote on account of

democrats feel that we must somehow carry
the state, thas we will somehow, but the
reports Va get are threatening"
"You think tho democrats will carry the
state, however,

GEN. Henderson, of North Carolina. said:

Congressman Chipmaa. of Michigan. is
! one of the most conservative democ' ats in
the house. He never indulges in rainbow
chasing, but confines himself to the situa-
tion as he secs it. Judge Chapman re-
