Nothing could show more encouragement for
Democrats i'll the Compression campaign than
the fact that lcpub!icnns acknowledge their
fear of losing four uut Of the eleven Iowa dis
tricts, now all represented by Republicans. A
gain of thirty seats is all that IS needed by the
Democrats 20 put the kcpuhicans iE minority
i'll the next House, and the prospects of getting
them, and many more, is very bright at this
time.
Ex-senator Blackburn, of Ky, now in Wash
ington, said Tine political outlook in Ken
lucky is rs satisfactory us Democrats could
wish. Of the eleven Congress Oual Districts
they will carry nne certainly, and of the re.
naming two there is more than all even chance
of carrying one-the Louisville district. 1t
seems to me that there is every reason to re-
gard the condition of The Democracy through
out the Nation with com laccncy, and believe
that the gains made by the party i'll November
will be large in ajority o. the States.'
Col. Phil Thompson once member of the
House from KY, who spends much of his time
in New York, has been telling his Washington
friends about the campaign. lie said: 81 be-
iieve that Judge Van Wyck will beat Col.
Roosevelt, Tor Governor, by heavy majority.
There is an element in the Republican party
that doesn't Ike Roosevelt ard will secretly
rejoice III his downfall. He is cordially hated
by the saoOn-keepers ana their frIenGs, for his
course while Police Commissioner. and they
will work like beavers to roll up the bulIots for
his opponent. Then, too, Judge Van wyck is
an amia BILE and upright man, with no blemish
in his record, and conservative people think he
will make far better executive than the bril-
liant, but rather 'mpractcable rough rider.
The strongest card, however, for the Demo-
Gratis, IS the bad record OF the Republican State
Administration. The taxpayers are up in arms
over the canal improvement fraud, and when
they come to vote they are going to take II sure
way of manifesting their displCasurc with Gov.
Blacks regime"
Mr.. Mckinlsyis said to hc very much disgust
ed al the position taken by Teddy Roosevelt,
that his election to be Governor of New York
is necessary as al endorsements of the admins
tration and the war, ana il would not be sur
prislng if he should take some way of letting it
become known that he would not consider
Rousevelt's defeat an atTgont to himself or his
administration, although pressure is being
brought to keep his mouth smut.
