EVEN BREAK IN NEXT
CONGRESS- is PREDICTED

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The Success
Magazine has prepared a forecast OF
THE coming congressional election. II
is based on confidential information as
to political positions in each of the
391 congressional districts of the Uni
ted States. received from $4,000 mem
bers Of the magazines auxiliary edi-
torial board.
The forecast is that i6S districts will
certainly be represented by Democrats
and 30 more will probably be Demo-
cratic, giving a total, reasonably sure,
of 1879, while the Republican party will
certainly elect 100 members and will
probably elect 20 more. giving a rea-
sonahly sure total of 1879. exactly the
same number as Democrats.
There are 1S districts in the country
in which there Is so even a balance of
probability that it is not possible to
predict the result without resorting TO
mere ~guesswork.
