FOR HOUSE MAJORITY


resented by the late Representative
Jacob E. Meeker.. The republicans
say they have a good chance to fill the
seats of Representatives Shackleford.
Russell and Decker. Representative
Shackleford was defeated in the pri-
maries. The democrats hope to hold all
three districts.
MONTANA - Representative John
NJ. Evans. democrat, will return. In
the second district Representa- tive
state into two districts, instead of two
at large, has lost her seat, as she lives
in Representative Evans district. The re-
publicans say Carl w. Riddick will be
elected. The democrats are equally
certain that they can win with Harry
B. Mitchell.
MISUNDERSTANDING Charles
O. Lobeck will be defeated by Albert
w. Jeffries, the republican managers
report. They also feel that they have
good chance to replace Representa-
tive Dan V. Stephens Republican op-
timism is built largely on the under
standing that the Swede vote is go
ing to the republican candidates.
Representative Charles H. Sloan, re-
publican, a member of the ways and
m cans committee, will not return. He
was defeated in a contest with Senator
Norris for the republican nomination
for the Senate. The republican can
didate. NJ. o. Mclaughlin, is expected
to succeed him.
NEVADA Representative E. E.
Roberts, republican, is conceded re-
election.
NEW HAMPSHIRE - Representa-
tives Burroughs and Wason are sure
of reelection. The latter is without
opposition.
NEW JERSEY Representative
of the rivers and harbors committee.

reports are to be credited. The demo-
cratic managers are equally optimistic
of replacing Representative John r.
Ramsey in the sixth district and
Cornelius ]. McGlennon of East
NEW MExIco-D. c. Hernandez, the
republican candidate at large, proba-
bly, will win.
Hot Contests in New York.
NEW YORK-There are any number
of good fights. Representative Joseph
v. Flynn in the third district will be
both the republican and democratic
nominations. Representative James P.
Maher, democrat, in the fifth district,
who is chairman of the labor COM
mittee in the House. has a hard con-
test. The amount of government
work that went to his district is ex-
pected to help his campaign wonder
fully. The contests in the forty-first
district, where Clarence MacGregor is
contesting for the seat occupied by
Representative Charles B. Smith. has
been growing more interesting daily.
The woman's vote here is expected to
be important. Mrs MacGregor is a
prominent suffrage leader. There is
some doubt in the Lunn district. but
this democratic member will proba-
bly, return. The republicans feel that
they have a fighting chance to re-
place Representative John Delaney,
but this is "pooh-poohed" by the
NORTH CAROLINA This state
should go solidly-ten democrats. The
republicans claim that they expect to
win in the tenth district. where J. ].

pied @by Representative Zebulon
Weaver. but this is extremely doubt

probably will stand as it is, except
that Representative Patrick D. Nor

bly, will be succeeded by another re-
publican. j. H. Sinclair.
OHIO-Aside from the very close fight
