Claims of Democrats
The democratic congressional ca
committee, with headquarters in w
ton. has figured out sixty'4scven demd
gains over It's present representation
house. Chairman James NJ Griggs
committee thinks this claint-is rather too
conservative In analyzing' the claim to
show where the gains are expected Mr..
Griggs is quoted as saying:
New York is safe The claim OF one sa.n
each IN Massachusetts, North Carolina,
kentucky Montana, Delaware, Rhode
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Idaho and Var
einia Is goods The claim Of a gain Of six
fonnsy lvanta Is too conservative. The
- may be said Of the claim OF gain OF
M In Illinois. We will gain eight in Mis-
OF six in Ohio. but We will do better than
that The computation that puts US down
Tor only one in Indiana is in error, New
fl he n feA for
three while gains Will be made In Iowa, Ne
braslta and California. tEt}
Should the democratic prediction Of a
gain OF sixty-seven be realized that party
would have a majority OF twenty-five I'm
the sixtieth congress.
