Organize the House.

ner, chairman OF the Democratic con-
gressional committee. made the follow
ing statement at midnight:
indications seem to point 10 Re-
publican victory in the congressional
contest. However, the information 1
have received does not justify me in
giving up the election Of Mr.. Wilson.
have men at every doubtful point who
will telegraph me as soon "a the returns
are made. have received no word from
any OF them, and am certain the counts
have not been completed. We have
won in the Third and Fourth West Vir-
ginia districts, but the chairman of the
First district admits the election of
Governor, Repu blican. by 1900 to 100.
That district has undergone the most
remarkable change ever known in the
politics OF the country, due mostly to
the A. P. A. and partly to the manufac-
turing interests.
II ie supposed that Cummings is de-
feated by IA votes in New York city, but
that 10 not sure. l understand our
friends in Michigan admit that the Re.
publicans have carried the state and all
but two mombers OF congress. Tars-
ney's election in Missouri seems to be in
doubt. The A. T. A. has been active
againnt him.
I'm the south, know OF no Losses,
but several gains. including the seat
now held by Murray, colored Republic.
can, Of South Carolina. There seems to
be no possibility of loss of more than
one district in Virginia. II the reports
of the Associated Press are correct, it
will be impossible for the Democrats to
organize the house. The Republicans
are claiming everything, but l pay very
little attention to their claims. We ex-
pect to receive kilograms from every
Democratic candidate for congress-. and
then we will have something definite on
which to base estimates"
Senator Faulkner declined to express
an opinion OF the cause which brought
about increased Republican majorities.
