BRANCHES

washington Nov. lon the eve OF the el-o~
tion the indications all point to continued con-
troll by the Republicans in both houses Of Con-
sress. The Republican majority in the Seyat.
VIII not fall below sixteen, and ~ will probably
not De more than twenty. In the House OF Rep
resentatives the Republican ma ority over an
opposition will probably be between sixteen and
hfty-six.
The terms Of thirty Senators will expire on
March 5. 1908. There Is little doubt about the
politics Of the legislatures which will elect their
successors. and IL can be safely predicted that
sixteen Of them will be succeeded by Republi-
cans There are two vacancies in the list of
hold over Senator's due 70 the failure OF the leg
isI"ture Of Delaware for the last four years to
elect Senator, and Delaware is now practically
the only element OF doubt in the Senatorial sit,-
alton If legislature should be elected there
which would choose two Republican Senators. IL
WoIIC increase the number OF Republicans to
eighteen, which. added TO the thirty-seven Re-
puDHCan hold over Senators. would give the Re-
puDhcans hfty-ffve out OF a total membership
OF ninety, or a majority Of twenty II Delaware
should send two Democrats IL would reduce the
Republican membership TO ffty-three and in
crease the Democratic membership 10 thirty
seven. thus reducing the Republican majority
to sixteen.
fORIH-ONE DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS
There is much more uncertainty as 10 the
House Of Representatives. Out Of the total OF
$50 Congress districts there are S45 which can
be counted upon with reasonable certainty OF
these 2O1 are put down in conservative estimates
as certainly Republican and 144 as certainly
Democratic. This leaves forty-one districts In
doubt OF the forty-oue doubtful districts an
extremely conservative estimate is that the Re-
publicans have Dy far the best chance in at least
twenty, leaving twenty to the Democrats. II
however. the tide should set more strongly in
favor Of the Democrats than now seems prob
able, and all the doubtful districts should ga
Democratic. the Republicans would still hold
@Ol districts to the Democrats 1S5. thus Ieav-
Ing the Republican majority sixteen. If the
tide should turn more strongly toward the Re
puolieans and they should elect their candi-
dates in the doubtful districts in which they
seem TO have an advantage they would have

a DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATED

An estimate was prepared at the Democratic
headquarters here to-day. in which il Is az
serted that the Democrats will elect 100 sure. Or
a majority Of u This estimate gives the
Republicans 144 sure and Al doubtful Not
much reliance can be placed on this table
however. for the reason that the Democratic
committee does not seem &c have had the ad-
vantage Of trustworthy information. This Is
shown by the fact that they have put down ss
Republican some districts which have been CON
ceded by the Republican managers to be Demo
cratic. The table is open TO the suspicion OF
having been prepared for the purpose Of buoyins
up Democratic hopes.
The Democrats are counting on sor,e+hfre- HE
a tidal wave OF Demo :racy in the eastern ser
tion Of the country. For instance, they count on
electtng two Representatives from Connecticut
and class one more in that State as doubtful
leaving the Republicans only two certain. In
Massachusetts, they put down four Democrats
eight Republicans and two doubtful; in Mary
land three Democrats. one Republican and two
doubtful; In New-YOrk. fifteen Democrats.
seventeen Republicans and five doubtful; in
Pennsylvania, seven Democrats. twenty-five
Republicans and three doubtful and in West
Virginia, two Democrats. one Republican and
two doubtful 1t is not believed BY conservative
Republicans that conditions in any Of thesf
States justify these figures.
A PECULIAR CAMPAIGN
Conditions in the campaign Just closing have
been peculiar. Never in recent years has there
been much complaint Of apathy among the
voters. Both parties will suffer from Il on
Tuesday next. II will affect the Republicans
most seriously in the East and the Democrats
I'm the West. In fact. the Democrats have been
able TO get up very little enthusiasm for their
candidates in the West. and except for several
factiOnaI fights in the Republican party in that
section Of the country a much larger Repuhli-
can majority in Congress could be counted on.
The worst Of these fights IS between Senator
Spooner and Governor LafOIlette. in Wisconsin

Haugh followed with a short speech. La

then served in the lower hail where a

departed for their homes, feeling that the
bond of friendship had been strengthen
