The fact that 3l sattes will elect senators makes the contests Tuesday the real inauguration of this new phase in gov ernment.
 in the different states would seem to indicate that the present small demo cratic majority of five in the senate IS safe one, as the republicans would have to make gain of six to get con trol and therefore are only seven states outside of the solid south, . where present democratic seats are be- ing defended.
 In the house 21S members are neces- sary for majority. The present dem ocratic standing is 2S5, republican lzz, progressive republican 2, progressive | 19, independent 1, and vacancies 6, which seats were last occupied by democrats. To change the political l complexion of the house, opposition parties must maintain their present | strength and win 6s additional seats Bitter Campaigns wased.
 Of hardly less interest are the con tests over state tickets. Governors are to be elected in 29 states. and some of the campaigns, notably those in New York, California and Pennsylvania, have been waged with much bitter ness.
