Washington, ID. c., oct 3i.-Onicial
Washington is looking forward to the
results of the election next week with
many evidences of anxious interest.
President Taft is most largely con-
cerned I'm the outcome of the con-
gressional contests. Ne has been given
to understand by Sme of the cam
paign managers that I'm case he does
not have a Democratic House on his
hands after March 4 next he is very
likely to have an insurgent Republi-
can House. 1t is this phase of the situ-
alton that is of most interest and con-
Germ to the President. He is partic-
ularly anxious that the next House
shall not only be of his political faith.
nut also of his way of thinking on the
important problems to come before the
next Congress. With a hostile politi-
cal body in the lower branch of Con
sress the President may be frequently
hampered in the prosecution of his
policies.
