David r. Francis, president of the
st. Louis fair corporation and ex'
governor of Missouri, began life as a
newsboy, and to the sharpness which
he acquired while acting in that ca

success. There was a convention OF
newsboys at the fair the other day,
and President Francis told them some
of his boyish experiences, much to
their delight.

The difficulty the Republicans are confronting is twofofd. In the first place, they stand to lose many members of Congress In States which are heav- fly Republican. and in which for this reason the Republican National Com mittee will make no effort. This is true of States like Pennsylvania and Illinois, which have practically been conceded to Roosevelt and Fairbanks in advance. There is also extreme dan and Populists have effected a fusion on State officers and members of Con- gress. permitting the Parker and Wat son electors to poll the Democratic and Populist following, and thus leaving the field open to Roosevelt. This is the case in such States.as Nebraska ard
 Added to this is another difficulty which confronts the Republican Con- gress Committee throughout the coun- try. Republican pluralities in every state in. the Union except in the ex- tain states, have been shrinking ever since 1896. The Democrats are getting back to their party. This is true of the Middle West, as 1t is of New York and New England Naturally this fall ing off of pluralities in States has af. the fight is little harder all alonC the line for the Republicans in each election Of Representatives to ConRress
 The bitter Wisconsin fight may also cost the Republicans five seats in the House. - '"e

Poll of States Shows Heavy Demo-
 cratic Chances. New York Herald.
 There Is rather strong possibility that the election returns on the night of November will show a Democratic House of Representatives for the Fifty-ninth Congress. There are 3S6 members of the House of Representa- lives. In the present House there are POS Republicans, 172 Democrats. two Union Labor Democrats and four va- cancies. The Republicans thus have a majority of thirty-four. investigation shows that in the United States there are 159 districts that can bescountedA safely Democratic. There are 156 districts that can be counted safely Republican. There are seventy-one doubtful districts. which may be carried by either side, and in these the great battle for the control of the House of Representatives must be fought.
 A majority of the House of Represen- tatives is 194. In order to obtain this bare majority 1t is necessary for the Democrats to carry thirty-five of these seventy-one doubtful districts. It is necessary for the Republicans to carry thirty eight of them.
 These doubtful districts are now rep
