Next House Is Sure to Be Democratic. Figures Are Presented by Mem bers-But One Hector Dis

By C. E. STEWART

Washington, July 1t.-(special )-The administration forces and the regular republicans here are not very cheerful right at this time. The action of the Iowa convention has added somewhat to the gloom of the situation. Repub- lican members of Congress are frank In saying that in the coming campaign they fear to go before the people in support of the administration, for 1t will likely mean defeat for them. They are going to stand. or try to stand, on their own individual records, and some of them have little to stand on.
 The developments in iowa and Okla homa and the news that come from California to the effect that there will be litigation over the way the electors will vote provided the republicans car ry the state, the electors being Roose- welt men. it is said that they have de- clared their intentions of voting for him, though they are regular Taft cleo tors-all these things have strengthened the bullmoose sentiment somewhat and caused a lot of worry among the fol- lowers of the President

Might Co to House

It has also revived the talk on the possibility of the election being thrown into the House of Representa- tives. Some go so far as to say that there is little hope of escaping such a condition Those who argue thus have armed themselves with an array of figures on the electoral vote showing that Roosevelt is bound to carry enough states to prevent an election in the college.
 Democratic members express the opinion, however, that the next House will contain fully 300 democrats, and if this be true and the election is thrown into the house there can be but one result. and that will be the elec- tion of Woodrow Wilson.

Will Follow Instructions

So far as electors chosen by the regu- lar republican ticket voting for Roose- welt is concerned no one gives that very serious consideration. While there is no legal obligation binding an cleo tor to vote for his party's nominee it is conceded that the odium If refusal upon his part to do so would be so great that few men would entertin it seriously.
 In all the history of presidential elections only one elector has ever failed to vote fors the preaidential can ddate of his party. When the elec- toral college was found to be unani- nous for Monroe at his second cleo tion, one man refused to abide by his instructions and voted for John Quincy Adams.
 These new complications arising to confuse our republican friends only brings cheer to the democrats.
 Every move now made by those in the lead of party affairs has been carefully planned out in advance and nos mistake Is going to be committed in Washington to mar the chances or blight the hopes of the party for vic tory.

scores the prince for having closed

the prince. The prince has had a
wire fence put up and the ice made
rough SO that no one can skate on
the pond, and this is what made the
professor hot. The fact that the criti-
cism appeared in the newspaper of the
Social Democrats did not make the
matter more agreeable to the royal
