Congressional Situation.

OOHSA OOolOlOA 0ACNNbAOLs
"There are 39l Congressional
districts. At the present time i,
would seem that 143 of these dis
trlcts will surely be Democratic ir
November, and 11S will be Repub-
lican. There are 1870 doubtful dis
tricts. OF the 1870, 32 may rea
sonably be relied upon as Demo
cratic and 4S Republican. This
leaves as really doubtful, so dis
tricts. If this estimate is correct
the Democrats can reasonably rely
upon It's districts, and the Repub
licans upon 1865. 1t the doubtful
districts are equally divided the
Democrats would have majority
in the next House of g..
"The General outlook for a
Democratic House seems to be
growing more favorable because
more districts are reasonably GER
tain Democratic than was sup.
posed at the outset. OF the SO
districts that are now classed as
doubtful our information Is that
% of them will likely be Demo
cratic and % possibly Republican,
If this should turn out to be COR
rect, the next House will be Demo-
cratic by majority of Is. The
Republican majority of the SO
Congress was ia. At the present
time it is Sc. This shows trend
of sentiment towards Democracy,
and apparently fairly correct in
dication of the gain we may expect
in November. The Congressional
gain will be most largely in the
northern Mississippi Valley States
from the Ohio River to the Rocky
Mountains, though there will be
some gains in the East and a few
in the extreme West.
"Meny persons inquire the rea-
son for the changes of sentiment.
This is due to several causes.
Some Republicans believe it would
be better to have a change in the
House of Representatives in order
to have a thorough investigation
of the various number for years,
Notwithstanding committees were
appointed for that purpose, there
have been no examinations of these
accounts by the Legislative depart
ment. Another reason is on ac-
count of the tyranical rule of the
Speaker, and the necessity for
change of management which can
only be brought about through
change of party control. Another
element amongst Republicans fa-
vors Democratic House because
they feel assured that the present
regime in Congress will in no way
carry out reform policies that can
be avoided, and this belief Is based
upon the past action of the major
ity in the House. Tariff reformers
amongst Republicans do not be-
lieve they can secure any proper
ad djustment of tariff rates while
the present Speaker names the
Ways and Means Committee and
controls the policy of the House.
"These various reasons are
urged in addition to those which
ordinarily divide parties. There
is this year general tendency to-
wards the acceptance of the Demo-
cratic position. Mr.. Bryan is
stronger with the people than ever
before, and this has an important
bearing upon the Congressional
and will be helpful in
securing a change of party man
agement in the House."

that the saloons in Columbus run
wide open every Sunday, and he
says nothing to Mayor Bond,
though the law makes it his duty
to see to it that the mayors of
cities enforce the laws; are they
going to vote for him because he
said in speech on September 90,
that he had voted so years in
Preble county, and never voted for
Democrat in his life; are they
going to vote for Harris because
he turned out such men as j. w.
