LONG DISTANCE CAMPAIGN.

Democrats and Republicans are that
the Democrats will lose considerable
number of seats in the House and the
Republicans will gain there materially.
but that the Democrats will still keep
control of the House by a comfortable
working majority. AS for the Senate.
the Democrats will probably increase
their margin there.
To what extent the Bull Moose vote Is
going to slump, and what will become
of it is one of the phases of the CAM
paign which is being studied narrowly
by the Democrats and the Republicans.
IT is to the interest of the Democrats
to have the Bull Moose vote fairly
large. so long as it does not take the
bits in its teeth and run away with
things The Democrats want it to re-
main just large enough to defeat the
Republicans and not become strong
enough to get possession Of the Govern
ment. In some States. the Bull Moose
vote will shrink to be almost negli-
gible. according to present indications.
and this is a source of discomfort to the
Democrats. The Republicans charge
the Democratic leaders with working In
coalition with the Bull Moose in some
cases.

Of the illustrations of this is the
speech OF Bryan recently in favor Of
Glynn and Gerard in New York, the
candidates backed by Tammany.
which was given the Bryan denuncia-
ton at Baltimore in such scathlng
terms. Secretary Bryan in his speech
for Glynn and Gerard represented the
President.
The Illinois and Indiana situations
are among the most interesting of
the campaign. In Indiana the Tag
CART machine candidates have been
given the Administration's indorse-
ment, much to the displea sure Of some
Of the Progressive Democratic ele-
ments of the State. In Illinois, every
body is wondering whether Roger
c. Sullivan will be elected to the SEN
ate. Mr.. Sullivan has practically re-
ceived the Administration indorse-
ment. The President is doing nothing
to oppose him, and Collector Dudley
Field Malone. of New York, has been
making speeches for him, holding out
the idea that the White House is
friendly to Mr.. Sullivan. Senator
Owen. on the other hand. is speaking
against Sullivan and trying TO bring
about the election of Raymond Rob-
ms, the Bull Moose candidate for SEN
ator The present outlook is that Sui

Hitherto. most of the members have
been conducting long-distance cam
paigns. Not in years has there been
such a campaign of letter writing con-
Quoted from the Capitol and the office
buildings of Congress. Every member
with political trouble on his hands has
for weeks been engaged in sending out
personal letters and documents by mail
In many cases, large forces of clerks

This sort Of campaigning has its diff
nculties, and consequently members
whose seats are in doubt for weeks
nave been impatient to have the ses-
sion end, in order that they could go
PACK home and talk to the folks at first
hand. Southern members have cared
little, because their fights were won or
lost In the primaries. Selection in the
primaries in the South is equivalent of
election. But members from the North
ern states. Democrats. Republicans. and
Bull Moose, have been in an embar-
RAISING position.
Afraid to Go Home.
Another interesting phase of the situa-
ton which has tended to keep Congress
here is that number of the Southern
members do not want to go home. They
are afraid to go and meet those of
their constituents who are clamoring
for Federal legislation TO relieve the
cotton stress. Many of them would
rather remain in WASHINGTON than to
go home and be lambasted by angry
voters who want to know why cotton
legislation was not enacted
The reports from the various fields
Of the campaign up to date snow that
there is little interest in politics and
light vote is going to be polled as q
general rule. In some States. the To-
cal campaigns are sufficiently intense
to arouse interest. Thus. in Pennsyl-
van!a, where the Democrats and Bull
Moose are doing their best to crush
Senator Penrose. there are evidences Of
pleEty OF interest and large vote.
From New York. on the other hand
the reports indicate comparatively lit

crepancies are to be found in the cam

and on the other hand the Republicans
are predicting the gain of dozen seats
