the aim OF this committee to emphasize

dOUSE WILL B REPUBLICAN,
Taft Makes Public Enthusiastic Letter
from Congressman Mckinley.
DEMOCRATIC HOPES ARE DASHED
Decided Change in sentiment I'm the
Last Few Weeks-President's
Letter Proves 90 he
Big Help.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-President Taft
today made public letter from Repre-
sentative w. B. Mckinley, chairman Of
the republican congressional campaign
committee in which he takes a most
roseate view Of republican prospects at
next Tuesdays election. MIR. Mckinley has
been optimistic from the very outset Of
the campaign, and his letter to the presl-
dent regarding the situation Is enthusiastic
to a marked degree. He declares that
what some people recognized as a demo
cratic year in July will turn out to be a
republican year in November. Mr.. Nc
Kinley Indicates that in his opinion the
democrats have not the slightest chance OF
gaining a majority in the next house The
making public of the Mckinley letter, {,
is said. will be the last act OF the pres
dent in the present campaign. 1t was re
ported today that Mr.. Taft might write
letter on the New York state situation,
but no confirmation could be obtained a
the White House.
1T gives me great pleasure to inform
you that every sign points toward repub-
hcan control Of tho house Of representa-
tives in the SiXty-second congress" wrote
Mr.. Mckinley from Chicago, October Is.
Gains I'm Doubtful Districts.
This information is based on what I
believe to be reliable reports from prac-
tcally every one of the doubtful districts.
We have made and are making substantial
gains in districts which we're lost in the
election two years ago by a narrow margin.
Three months ago pessimistic repub-
licans and optimistic democrats expressed
the belief that this was a democratic year.
Their prediction was not shared by your
self or others charged with responsibility
for carrying forward the republican cam
paign. I am pleased to advise you that
there has been a decided change in senti-
ment in the last few weeks.
Democratic hopes are fading and re-
publicans are now enthusiastic in their be-
lief that while this may have been a demo-
cratic year in July it is republican year
in November. In your letter to me of
August 20, 1910 you state that the question
was not what complexion Of republicanism
one prefers, but whether 1t is better for
the country to have a republican party
control the legislation for the next two
years and further redeem its promises, or
to enable a democratic majority in the
house either to interpose a veto to repub-
hcan measures or to formulate and pass
bills to carry out democratic principles.
Your clear and just analysis OF republican
principles and your brief outline OF the
great work TO which your administration
is committed was adopted by the repub-
mean cons ressiOnal committee as tho slogan
Of this campaign

City'S Business Streets
Will Be Cleaned Today

All the available working force Of the
street cleaning department is coucen-
trated this afternoon in the business
sections Of Washington They are clean
ing crossings. keeping cutters clean, and
removing the unsightiy hUmmOCks Of
snow which line many Of the streets.
Orders 10 this effect were given this
morning by Commissioner Johnston. and
Superintendent Wood, Of the street
cleaning department, put his men on
the street as soon as the morning thaw
loosened the lee crust
The Commissioner declares that he has
never given any orders for the reIuc-
ton OF the street force which at pres
eut consists OF only about go men
The dismissal yesterday Of the emer-
EenCy street cleaning force came as the
natural consequence, say the officials,
Of the steady depletion Of the dWiudlng
fund OF $4,000, which must last for snow
work throughout the winter.
While the action OF the sun in melting
snow las reduced the liability Of injury
TO pedestrians on the streets, the injury
list IS still growing, and three more ad-
ditiOns were made yesterday on the
hospital DIOtuers.
In addition TO this. many unofficial re-
ports have come from drug stores about
