Foelker, Calder. Olcott, who was
defeated for the nomination by Ben
nett, South wick, Millington, Perkins
and Fassett are doubtful with the
probabilities favoring the republi-
cans in all but the Southw.ck dis
trict. Southwck declined re-nom-
ination in this district) Malby,
Dwight, Payne and Vreeland, who
are strong standpatters, are virtual
ly certain of reelection but by re-
duced pluralites. The same is true
of Fitzgerald, democrat, who came
to Cannon's aid In the thirteenth
district. represented by Herbert Par
sons, republican, the contest will be
especially close with the probable
tiles favoFing the democrat.
"In New Jersey the nomination by
the democrats of Woodrow Wilson,
president OF Princeton. is popular
with both parties and it is believed
that ne will sweep the state and
probably carry with him number
of democratic candidates for con-
gress. The state is now represented
b. seven republicans and three dem
ocrats and in but two districts is re-
publican success certain. The re-
publican majorities in the various
districts are so large, however, that
in spite of the dissatisfaction with
ring rule in New Jersey the proba-
billties favor republican success in
three out of eight remaining dis
tricts. The one really doubtful dis
tr;ct is that of Gardner, while Rep
resentative L.oudenslager will also
have hard fight in spite of his ten
thousand majority at the last cleo
ton.
Pennsylvania is likely to remain
the same with the exception of the
Goth district. where John Dalzell Is
facing a bitter fight.
Maryland will probably continue
its present three democratic repre-
sentatives and the party will likely
gain the 3rd and 9Th districts, which
are now republican.
mo changes are likely in Virgin
ia, West Virginia or the south, al
though the republicans hope to get
"a congressman in Oklahoma, while
the democrats are trying for a COM
plete delegation from South Caro-
lima. In Ohio the republicans are
likely to lose three members and in
addition General Keifer, in the sew
enth. is having hard struggle but
should win out. In Indiana Senator
Beveridge is receiving support from
democrats. Crumpacker is almost
certain to win out but the fight
against Representative Barnard,
Korbly. Morrison and Rauch is most
bitter.
I'm Kentucky the democrats will
probably gain two congressman. No
changes are likely in Wisconsin. In
Minnesota the delegation is likely to
be unchanged although Anderson,
who defeated Tawney at the primar-
les and Hammond, democrat, In the
second, have hard fights. In Iowa
the result is doubtful in the list, end
and 9Th. In the Sth the republicans
will return a member in place of
Jameson. democrat.
"1a Missouri democrats will re-
place republicans in the 12, 10, Il,
Is and 18th districts. In Nebraska a
democrat will succeed Hinshaw in
the fourth. Norris is sure to win,
having democratic and republican
support. In Montana a democrat
will replace Pray. republican.
THE Pacific states except Nevada
are solidly republican as usual, ex-
cepting that In California, a demo-
Graf win replace Kahn in the fourth
district
According to the managers of the
poll the big surprise has been the
number of stalwart Cannon republi-
cans who '*have seen great light"
and who are now either "opeRly or
surreptitiously" announcing to their
constituents that they are against
the speaker.
The poll was secured by each
member of the life subscribers stat
ing how he voted two and four years
ago, how he would vote this year,
and indicating his natural political
aftiliation. On these figures aver.
ages for all of the districts were
made.
