generally believed that the Republican ticket will

Chairman West Of the Republican State Central
Committee said to-day that he expected the Re

PARTY in Cook County. and asserted hat the Re

BOTH CLAIM THE HOUSE.
Republicans ETpect 5S Majority
Democrats, p.

Washington Nov. S-The prophets have
stopped analyzinv local conditions regarding the
Congress situation. They have made their final
forecasts covering the whole area, and are wait
ing for Tuesday.
The Republican forecast is that the Repub-
Iicans viii have a majority or fifty-eight in the
next House of Representatives. the districts
being classified as: Sure Republican. 22e; sure
Democratic I3O: doubtful, but probably Repub-
lican. 2I: doubtful, but probably Democratic, Is.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee has figured out sixty-seven Demo-
cratic gains over the present House. Chairman
Griggs thinks this is rather too conservative.
In analyzing the forecast to show where the
gains are expected Mr.. Griggs is quoted as say
ing:
York is safe. The claim of one gain each in
Massachusetts. North Carolina, Kentucky, Mon
tana Delaware Rhode Island, Connecticut
Idaho and Virginia is good. The claim OF gain
of six IN Pennsylvania is too conservative.
The same may be said OF the claim OF a gain
OF six in Illinois. We will gain eight in Mis-
souri,. Concessions are made 10 us Of five or six
In Ohio. but we will do better than that. The
computation that put us down for only one in
Indiana is in error. New Jersey is TO be
counted on for a gain of three. while gains will
be made in Iowa, Nebraska and California
Should the Democratic prediction of a gain
Of sixty-seven be realized. that party would have
a majority OF twenty-five in the 60th Congress.
While from national point of view the Con-
gressional election is regarded as emphatcally
important, in some places IL has been thrown en-
tirely in the background by state politics.
Twenty-three states will elect governors
Tuesday Twenty will elect legislatures; ten
minor state officers or justices Of the Supreme
Courts Oklahoma will pass upon her state con-
stitution Arizona and New Mexico will decide
the question of joint statehood.
The President will vote at Oyster Bay
Tuesday and will reach the White House to
ceve the returns OF the evening The indica-
tions that large percentage Of the govern
ment force Will go home TO vote.
