NEW REPUBLICAN
 CHAIRMAN WAVES
 THE BLOODY SHIRT
The Congressional c a m : paign Will Probably Have "Anti-SOuth" for Its
 Chief Slogan
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, September 4.-(Special) The election of Simeon D. Tess, member of Congress from Ohio, to the chair
 manship of the republican national con- gressional committee, means that the
 bloody shirt" will again be waved this fall.
 Mir Tess was an official of the com mittee two years ago. Since that time, former Chairman Wood of Iowa has been defeated at the polls and practi- cally dismissed from the chairmanship. He was a pacifist, and before the entry of the United States into the European
 from his public statements and com munications. It is this man whom Fess has succeeded.
 And the bloody shirt" will wave if
 Fess repeats his tactics of two years ago. For Fess is one of the few south-
 haters remaining in public life. He will
 endeavor to elect congressman in north-
 ern and aestern and western states on
 prejudice based on the charge that the
 south-not the democratic party-is in
 the saddle.
 Two years ago he made this appeal
 to northern voters: Did you know that the very SecIlOn Wnlcn attempted to de- stroy the government is now control1- ing the government" Whereupon he proceeded to prove that a majority of the important chairmanships in the House were possessed by southern men. He also proved that the President was southern, that McAdoo was southern, that Baker was southern, that Daniels was southern.
 As a result of that campaign, Fess failed to transform the House from a democratic to republican organizat tion, but he did materially reduce the demo- cratic majority. Insomuch as the Eu- ropean war has wiped out sectionalsm
 as that term has been regarded in the United States, democrats believe that Fess will fail to score any practical success this year.
 Democrats, as a rule, are confident. They believe the people will give the President a House and Senate keenly l in mpathy-along party and all other | llines-with him and his policies. Rep resentative Heflin of Alabama sponsors I the prediction that irrespective of close margins which now prevail between the l two parties in the House and Senate, the next Congress will be overwhelm- l ingly democratic. He would not be sur- prised were the democratic majority in the House to be as large of 50.

 Jefferson county's spokesman made the mildest speech of his career. It was principally a protest against the citation of his case in the partisan discussions on the floor of the House. He declared the time unripe for him to discuss all the issues which figured in his campaign, or why the President was induced to protest against his nomination. He ten tatively agreed to do so at future date. In the course of his remarks he de- clared that the Presidents telegram had cost him many votes.
