of the results in the various States
IN the coming congressional cam
paign were published yesterday in
three New York papers-the Herald,
The World and the sun.
The Herald figures show that. the
Democrats will hold control in the
House. It says:
THE canvass to date indicates a
Democratic victory. 1t may not be
'as deep as we'll or as wide as a
church door, but the Democratic
leaders insist that 1t will serve their
purpose--that it will insure q safe
working majority in both House and
Senate. The Herald's figures at this
stage Indicate that the Democratic
majority will be somewhere between
10 and so.
Here is a recapitulation of the re-
suits thus far of the canvass:

mark OF 1912 is taken as the cri-
terion Even if the Democrats
should get every one of-the sixty
doubtful districts-which is alto
eether unlikely--they would fail to
equal their present membership by
nineteen.
With the doubtful districts equal
