Washington. July 24.-[Special. J.
There will be q sweep in the coming
election, an4 the party winning the
presidency is almost sure to capture
Che house and senate. At least. the
senate will be torn from it's present
mornings. The senate is now almost
progressive. 1t is progressive on votes.
though not in actual sentiment Many
senators vote progressive. although
they feel that conservative restraint
which would hold them if they were
not afraid Of severing home times
But in case there should be a sweep
On favor of the DemOCrats-a land
slide-it is almost certain that the
house would be largely Democratic and
the senate would also be carried by
that party. 1t is very easy to figure
out how the Democrats could win the
senate. The great increase in the
1910 was a surprise to the senators
who had figured that it was well RICH
impossible to dislodge the Republican
majority. but there is a prospect that
fully as many Republicans may be re-
placed by Democrats after the cleo
lions this fall which would give that
party control of the upper branch Of
the national legislature,

in Wisconsin. but he never bottled, even

lette may not be very enthusiastic this
fall. but he will be regular.
