have little doubt that he will he able
to save the house to the republicans.
one view the republican leaders Of
the congressional campaign take

looked like oasN sailing. They are
hopeful this will be the effect. They
say the republican party never fights

admit thai developments up to date
havc been such as to give most re-
publican candidates for OFFICE a scare.
The republican congressional com
mittcc is perfccting its plans for the

is made 10y the republican congression-
