Control of Congress in Doubt
as Campaign NearS
End.
NEW YORK RESULT
STILL UNCERTAIN
Election in Empire State TO Have
Strong Bearing on
1912.
By JOHN SNURE.

This is the closing week Of The great
est political campaign that has been
waged in this country in a year other
than Presidential for at least two
decades.
The campaign viii come TO an end
with the elections IN nearly every State
one week from Tuesday.
The control of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, the question OF how far the
grip of the Republican machine on the
Senate will be broken. various iIupor-
tant governorships. and the control OF
many legislatures and vast numbers OF
local officeS-aIl are involved.
In the results Of the elections. one Will
doubtless be able TO read how deeply the
people of the United State@ are dissatis-
fled with the high cost Of living and the
economic conditions that nave obtained
under many years OF an uninterrupted
Republican regime. The results will
be an index TO the feelings OF the people
with respect to the new tariff law and TO
the tariff policy of the Republican party

week from Tuesday will be construed as
indicating whether the voters are pre-
pared 30 iudorse the Taft Administra-
tiOn or to repudiate it. An overwhelm-
ing landslide for the Democrats would.
without question, be interpreted the
country over as equiv alent to declara-
ton OF dislike fer President Tafts lead
eTShip.
On tie other hand, should the Repub-
HcanS carry the House and escape with
a mere sinseiug in the flames Of popu-
lar dlsapprUval, President Taft and his
trends could appropriately say the Ad-
mlEiStrJtiOn received an iudOrsment
