other means OF showing he desires a

was made in the Presidents address to
Congress on May 27 when ne urged the
passage OF a revenue bill.
On the other hand the Democrats are
preparing 10 insist that this remark Of
the President has been entirely mis-
construed and that IL referred merely
that the people show their support Of
to the revenue measure under discus
sion. They will insist that the Presl-
dent as the leader Of his party has
every right TO expect and even ask

DEMOCRATS FEAR
Loss OF CONGRESS
president Expected to Find
a Way to Appeal to
People
PARTY LEADERS
ARE WORRIED

WASHINGTON, oct. is.-The convic-
don Is growing here that with the
termination Of the political truce next
Saturday President Wilson will find
some way Of making It plain to the
country that he desires the election Of
a Democratic Congress this fall. The
President Is being urged by some OF his
closest friends 10 adopt such a course.
and IL Is likewise no secret here that
the hopes OF those who are MANAGING
the Democratic campaign are centred
very largely In the President himself
coming 10 their assistance.
Or course 1t would be hard 10 find a
Democratic leader or Congressman who
did not sincerely believe that once the
President spoke on the subject there
would be nothing left 30 the Republican
campaign. Their prestige increased by
world developments and the leader OF
the nation in It's greatest crisis. they
believe that he has put 10 ask the
country for the support Of a Demo-
cratic Congress to have II granted.
Publicly, OF course, the Democratic
leaders profess TO feel confident that
they will retain the House by an in
creased majority. Privately, however,
some OF them express great con-
Germ over the situation. Reports reach
ing here from many States have re-
suited in the Democratic leaders re-
vising their early expectations.
In midsummer il was the universal
belief among the Democratic managers
that the favorable turn in the war was
20 insure them the House by a large
majority. In fact, predictions were
made that the Republican party would
be left a wreck on the political shores
this fall Their first awakening came
with the Maine election. Now II Is sig
niflcant that they are talking about
the big Republican campaign fund.
while their own campaign fund Is said
90 be coming along a little slow.
This anxiety has been growing vislbly
IN the last week when reports have
come in showing that districts they
have been counting upon as certain
are decidedly In the doubtful class. Re-
publican predictions Of gaining at least
twenty scats In the House and turning
the balance Of power in their favor
which are said 10 be based on extreme
~ careful surveys, apparently have
alarmed the Democrats.
This situation is known 90 haYe been
presented 20 the President In several
conferences which he has had In the
last two weeks with political leaders
Of his party. President Wilson does
not want 10 see the Republican in con-
troll OF Congress- or OF either House.
Members OF his Cabinet are insisting
that this would be a calamity.
The truce viii end Saturday night
and there is every indication here OF a
new move coming In the Democratic
campaign with the idea emphasized
that a Democratic defeat would be
pleasing 10 the Kaiser In that Il would
be apparently a Reputation OF the
President. The Republican reply 10 this
argument will be the party record since
the war began, showing that a far
greater percentage OF the Republican
party In Congress has consistently sup
ported war n asures and that some Of
them-n0tably the selected draft act
