DANCE FOR ASSISTANCE

at least to rattle in the treasury S

recently organized are ready to
start the seasons games and
once more wipe up a few mines
IN this section and place Eagle

from which she tumbled down
last year owing to not having a

A dance will be given Friday
evening, April Doth at the opera
house and it is expected that Il
bunch of fans and others who
are friendly to the national game
will be present and cause enough
sheckles to drop into the tin box
guaranteeing the expenses which
never fail to accrue when eight
cen husky fellows, chaperoned
by a bald headed angel in a bird
cage, get busy on the diamond.
The patrons of baseball should
make this dance a success. A
ball team is one sure method of
keeping a town on the map.

DEMOCRATS HAVE 63 MAJORITY
IN HOUSE.
Colorado the Only Northern State En-
tfreIy Represented by Democrats.

Washington, Nov. %. The Demo-
cratic representation in the House
will be 227, as against 1853 Republic
cans and one Socialist, according to
the roster of the House published to-
day. These figures give the Demo-
Gratis majority of So and plurality
of 81. The roster is that made up by
the Clerk of the House and is the
first semi official report made.
The Sun i'm the issue of November
10 announced that the membership OF
the House would be 227 Democrats,
1853 Republicans and one Socialist.
So far as is known here it was the
only newspaper in the country that,
Immediately after the election, esti-
mated exactly the membership.
An analysis of the personnel of the
next House affords some interesting
figures Of the 800 members of the
next House, excluding the one So
cialist vote, 266 are serving in the
present House, or have served in
some previous Congress. There are
125 members who will begin their
first term-one-third of the total
membership. About the same ratio
Id maintained between the two par
ties. OF the 227 Democrats las will
be veterans, while 80 are new men.
OF the SO Republicans 121 have serv-
ed at least one term, while 43 take
the Congressional oath for the first
time.
Regardless of landslides, clerks at
the Capitol say that a new House U.s.
ually brings in about one-third new
members. In som mysterious way,
where the election fails to be land
slide and the House il close, the
work has been done in the nominating
convention of primaries, with the re-
suit that where there is one new
member there are two experienced
members.
According to this publication, Kan
sas is the only State of size which
has solid Republican Delegation.
A number, however, contain only one
Democrat, among those thus included
being Iowa, Minnesota, California
and Wisconsin. All OF the Southern
States have soldid Democratic dele
cations except Maryland, Virginia
Kentucky and Tennessee, Maryland and
Virginia each has one Republican
while Tennessee and Kentucky have
each two members of that party. Col
orado is the only Northern State rep

STATE CENTRAL Committee FINDS.
Democratic Chairman VandiVCr Finds
That He Has $95O.64 On Hand.
Congressman TaIbOtt'S Expenses
Shows $7636.

With their cash balanced for the
campaign of 1910 the Republicans OF
Maryland find that the debt of their
State Central ommittee amounts to
$6750 on notes due to several banks
in and out of Baltimore city. John
I'd. Hanna, Republican chairman had a
campaign fund of $15,329, of which
$15,215 was spent, and this sum in
cluded the amount collected through
notes. Democratic Chairman Van
diver collected s6,744.70 and disbursed
$5,794.06, leaving balance on hand
OF $95064 Mr. Vandiver also has a
debt, but it was contracted during
the campaign of 1903 on a note of
$4,000 given by Senator John Walter
Smith.
National Committeeman William p.
Jackson was the most liberal giVer.
What he gave cannot be known until
all the reports have been examined.
He gave $500 to State Chairman
Hanna, $4,000 toward the expenses OF
Thomas Parran'S campaign in the
Fifth district, $1,000 to the city COM
mittee, besides small contributions in
the Third and Fourth Congressional
districts. His contribution in the
First district, where he lives, was
probably large one, and he may have
given to the campaign funds i'm the
Second and Sixth districts. The Gar
retts were also liberal contributors,
Robert and his brother, John W., hav-
ing each $1,000 which was dis
tributed between the State Gen.
trail Committee of his party and
the Congressional Committees. The
Republicans received $500 from the
National Committee.
Congressman Talbott's exense ac-
count shows a disbursement of $7636,
whereas the report filed for Mr..
Baker in Baltimore county shows re-
ceipts of $4693, of which $3.50 was
contributed by Robert Garrett.
The Republicans had two judges
among the contributors to their cam
paign funds. One was Judge Duffy,
who gave $3.50, and the other Judge
Thomas Morris of the United States
Circuit Court, who gave $25.
