CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The Chicago
Tribune. In conjunction with the New
York World. has made survey OF the
congressional campaign throughout
the United States. with a statement
OF the election outlook as based on
the claims OF the parties and the.
candidates.
The voting on Nov. will decide 80
United States senate seats and 4Sb
house OF representative seats.
The consensus Of information indi-
Gates:
/. The Republicans undoubtedly
viii score substantial gains In the low
er house. There il no great indication
that the Republican national congress
sional organization, acting as Z.
paign body. wishes TO elect q Repnbli-
can mapority, on the theory. possibly,
that the party does not care to share
responsibility. either eonstructively or
obstructively. for the second tw oyears
OF the Wilson administration.
The Democratic campaign organiza-
ton, by the same reasoning, 10 quite
willing to have its present majority
OF las reduced materially. because OF
its present topheayiness from practi-
cal political viewpoint.
The indications are the Democratic
majority In the next house viii be
about 40.
The Progressive strength OF lS, az
at present, is likely TO remain at about
the same figure, though changed some
what individually.
2. In the senate there will be prob
ably "a or So Democrats and AZ or Al
Republicans, as against 81 Democrats
and 45 Republicans as at present.
8. The sixty-fourth session Of the
house OF representatives will contain
approximately 222 Democrats, 1S3 Re
publicans, and Is Progressives. while
IL districts are doubtful In the pres
ent congress there are 290 Democrats.
127 Republicans and Is Progressives.
The prediction conditions indicate
the Progressives win lose certain dis
tricts. but they seem certain to gain
certain others, particularly In the mid
die west. and the general aspect por-
tends that the Progressive strength
win not be reduced materially In the
incoming congress from the party vote
In the present one.
