plexion of the house of representative
of the siXty-first congress.
From several thousand letters re-
ceived,' said Loudenslager, "and from
personal interviewing with politicians
and other observers from all sections
of the country, | am convinced con
servative estimate of the political COM
plexion of the next house is that it will
show 227 republicans and 1G4 demo
Gratis.
Il am confident the election results
will give an increase in the number of
republicans rather than decrease ;"
Chairman Hitchcock, CT the repub-
lican national committee. is still of the
opinion that Nevada will be very
close, but is quite confident of Mon
tana. Information from leaders in
Kentucky and Tennessee continue to
reach headquarters and is to the effect
that the republican candidate has
mere than fighting chance in those
/ two states. While he feels sure about
! Maryland, he thinks the fight will be
close there. Both Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts. and Secretary Straus
| of the department of commerce and
labor, predict Taft and Hughes vii
carry the state of New FORK by large
majorities. Chairman Woodruff esti
mates Taft's plurality at least 125,O0l
and Hughes 10000.
Congressman Hawley, of Oregon
said: Taft will carry every stat
west of the Mississippi with the pos
sible exception of Missouri, Oklahoma

HOW TO TEST LlNsEED OIL

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor OIL 1t is as bad in
it's way as authorizations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners mag
be detected by placing drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address,
