VIII Not Affect Control.

A loss of six or seven seats. which is
the most the Republicans could lose in
the West this Autumn, would not ma
teriaily affect their control of the Sen
ate None the less, it would be of
political Importance in several ways.
1t would reduce the majority by half
and create a prospect of a spirited cam
paign- for the Senate in 1910. Then,
with such an outcome this year in the
West. the Democratic representation in
the Senate would cease to be almost
solely Southern.
While this condition with reference
to the Senate enforces the determine
ton Of the National Chairman, Mr..
Hitchcock, TO assume the aggressive in
every Western State, as he has recently
announced his intention of doing, still
another reason exists therefor If
Democrats have any change at all of
winning the next House, they must get
their majority in the Western StNss
mentioned. The present Republican
majority of 60 in the House can be
wiped out only by the election of 30
odd more Democratic members. The
Democrats now control practically every
Southern district They might gain
two or three members in the Border
States, particularly in Kentucky. The
Republican division in Pennsylvania
two years ago gave the Democrats more
members from that Static than they are
normally entitled to. They can, at best,
hope for a gain of but one or two in
New Jersey and one or two in New
York. There must be a great political
overturning in New England to give
the Democrats more than the three
members from Massachusetts and the
