Republican expectations will proba-
bly, be discounted heavier on the legis-
lature than anywhere else. There are
more close and doubtful districts than
there have been before for several
years. A variety Of causes has con-
tributed to this condition. Two years
ago the republicans had thirty-eight in
the senate and sixty-one in the house,
well as this is all that conservative re-
publicans expect, and most Of them
will not be surprised to see the number
of republicans in the legislature re-
duced below this figure: neither will
they be greatly surprised il the num-
Der reaches 106 or even 10S.
The following estimate of the situa-
ton in the legislative districts was pre-
pared Saturday, after careful exami-
nation of the situation, from both
sides, the intention being to give the
true situation as nearly as it can be
learned:
The best information obtainable is to
the effect that in the senate, where
thirty members are to be elected, twen-
ty are surely republican, two surely
democratic, five close and probably re-
publican, two close and probably demo-
cratic and one doubtful. OF the twenty
hold overs, twelve are republican and
eight democratic.
In the house fifty three out of 100 are
regarded as surely republican, twelve
surely democratic, eighteen close and
probably republican, eight close and
probably democratic and nine doubtful.
This would give the republicans
eighty-five sure on joint ballot. with
good chances of getting twenty-three
more, giving them 10s This is taking
the most hopeful view from repub-
lican standpoint. 1t is almost certain
that some of the districts claimed by
the republicans will elect democrats.
and the most conservative estimate
places the republican strength on joint
ballot at about 100
