BITTER FIGHT TO

DiSatfeCtlOn Among Republican
Party Workers.

Washington, Dec. 20. - Republican
leaders express concern over political
conditions throughout the United
States. They are apprehensive for the
next house and declare privately that
the contest between the two parties
in the next congressional elections
will be the bitterest waged for many
years. Advices received by the on
GERS of the Republican congressional
committee are that the issue of good
times" alone will not suffice. There
appears to be disaffectiOn among the
party workers and the rank and file,
and unless stirred up in the mean
time they will enter the campaign apa-
thetic and Indifferent.
"The trouble is" said a member Of
the Republican congressional Co-cr.:t-
tee, that despite the fact tha+ tct
times are in prospect there is q lot C'
dissatisfaction. Some people are 500
over the tariff, others are worked uR
over the conservation row, while there
are many Republicans who are f.m.y
convinced that all they will be able
to take off the pie counter will be t. r
elbows. The people know that tae n
