Republican Leaders Expect
to Secure Control.
BASIS FOR THEIR CLAIMS

Assert Many Democratic Members Of
Present Body Are Accidents" and

That OBJECTIONS From Progressive
Ranks viii Go to the G. o. p.
Washington, July 3.-Leaders of the
Republican party here who have been
.canvassing the congressional situa-
ton say they are confident that next
fall ninety.three Republican congress
men will be elected to seats now oc-
|cupied by Democrats or Progressives.
In many other districts they assert
they have good fighting chances.
There are 129 Republicans in the
house. Success in the fall campaign
in, gaining ninety-three seats would
give the Republican party 222 mem
hers out of the total membership of
435
The confidence of the Republicans
is based upon three features:
That many Democrats now occupy
ing seats in the house are acknowl-
edged accidents" who slid in on the
Wilson boom.
Light Progressive Vote.
That the Progressive vote will be
light and that the defecuions from
that party will be to the Republican

| cratic party because of the tariff on
local industries.
New York is expected to furnish the
largest number of the new Republic
an recruits, Pennsylvania next and
Illinois third.
The recent election in West Vir
| ginia is cited as an example of how
the Bull Moose vote is going tC
pieces. Roosevelt received 13,00(
votes in that state In 1912, while II
the recent election the Bull Moose
candidate got only 300.

FATHER OF PSYCHOLOGY.
Theory of DR.. David Hartley, the Fa-
nous English Philosopher.

Theory of DR.. David Hartley, the Fa-
nous English Philosopher.
The first attempt to explain psyche
logical phenomenon on physiological
principles was made by DR.. David
Hartley, the English philosopher. who
was born in the year 1705. In his great
work. Observations on Man-His
Frame, His Duty and His Expecta-
tions,' published in 1749 after patient
investigation covering sixteen years, he
elaborated his epochal theory.
BY the development of his law of asso-
citation and chiefly by the law of trans
ference he accounted for all the phe-
n0mena of the mental constitution.
According to him, the white medullary
substance Of the brain. spinal marrow
and the nerves proceeding from them.
is the immediate instrument of sensa-
ton and motion. When sensation
has been frequently experienced 1t ac-
quires tendency to repeat itself spon-
taneously.
Ideas are but these repetitions orrel-
les of sensation and in their turn re-
call other ideas. Thus the sight of an
apple recalls an idea of it's taste. and
this recalls other associated ideas. In
this way Hartley accounts for all hui
man emotions. Milwaukee Sentinel.
