fable data gathered here; gives the following results:
 The States that will very probably elect republican senatorial candidates are Connecticut, Oregon, North Da- kota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Indi- ma, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Illinois, Arizona, Utah Mary and, and New York; total 15.
 The states that may or may not elect democratic senatorial candidates are Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, California, and Colorado, total, five.
 The republicans have high hopes of Kentucky as the State administration, headed by Governor Morrow, is re- publican. Oklahoma has nearly always been found in the democratic column. Missouri is normally democratic. So is Colorado. Though there are more re- gistered republican voters in Califor- nia than democrats, democratic lead CTS claim reelection of their candidate, Senator Phelan.
 This computation would give the republicans in the "debatable states" 15 senators and the democrats live. It would give the republicans twenty senators, including those from the five states already conceded by the demo crats. The democrats would win, ill- cluding the seven states conceded by the republicans, a total of twelve.

SOME
 FACTS WORTH KNOWING \ VITAL SUBJECT
A VITAL SUBJECT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct., 1S- While election of a President seems the principal concern of the voters, party managers are quietly but stren- uously striving for control of the next Congress. and particularly of the Sen ate.
 Success or failure of the next Ma tional Administration depends or whether majority of the Senate is of the same political complexion as the new President. If Governor Cox is elected (which seems extremely doubt ful now with the failure of the Gov ernor's campaign fund charges and the verdict rendered in Maine) and the next Senate is republican, the Cox Ad- ministration would largely be failure because a republican Senate would re- fuse to agree to some of the Cox pol icies, particularly the League of Ma tions, which. the Governor hung around his neck at the beginning of the cam paign. On the other hand, if Senator Harding is elected (which seems high iy probable, not to say certain, ill the Judgement of experienced Washington. polltical obsrvers) a democratic Sen ate would hamper his administration.
 The republicans now have major ity of two in the Senate, 49 to AT. They hope to increase this lead Hi November. The terms of 32 Senators expire next March fourth.

JAPANESE EXPECTATIONS

TOKYO, Oct., 18- Alleging that under the names of territorial greed" and invasion" the Japanese people are prevented from seeking land be- yond the seas to live and have their being, the Nichi Nichi puts the ques- tion: Where shall our countrymen go?" After remarking that the Unit ed States had protested against Jap. ans Siberian policy thereby causing undesirable complications between the two nations, the newspaper gives pro minence to an interview with an anon ymous high official who says that Ja- pans development in Siberia will be beneficial both to Japan and the Unit ed States, if the matter is considered rationally.

If these predictions become real ities in November, and these estimates are very reasonable, the next Senate will have 55 republicans and Al demo- crats,-.a republican majority of four teen, to back up Senator Harding's policies when he enters the White House next March.
 Representative Simeon D. Fess, Ohio, chairman of the National Repub- ,ican Congressional Committee, Is more conservative in his estimate. He says the republican majority in the next Senate will be at least ten.
 Senator Miles Poindexter, chair man of the Republican Senatorial Committee, believes the republican majority will be from twelve to four teen.

CHAMPION CANNER SPEAKS

Contributed to the Gateway by Sew ard Citizen.
 In the Seattle P. l., of Oct, 4th, MT. Clifford Pinchot, the enemy of all living Alaskans, tells why he is sup porting the G. o. P. Now Alaska Re publicans are sorry to learn that Pin ohot is warmly supporting Harding, because Pinchot has never supported anybody unless they were believers in, or probable converts to, his hobby of canning the resources of country for some future generations to feast on. while letting the present inhabitants starve. This Pinchot has shouted for Rooseveltian Policies ever since Presi- dent Roosevelt "Fell" for the conser- vation doctrine, and, allowed Pinchot to CAN our resources g tight as to have preserved them against all at- tacks by hungry pioneers until the pen of Thomas B. Diayton started prying the cover off.
 Mr. Clifford Pinchot's most effect i've political work is done just before a Presidential election, and at this time he breaks into print, with the backing of such men as William Hornaday, (of brown bear preserving fame,) so conspicuously as to "Flimflam" one or the other Candidates into committing themselves to his autocratic conserva- ton schemes. If he succeeds in slip ping -it-over" this time we will see the OIL and Coal, fields withdrawn again for further consideration bysa few more COMMISSIONS.

Once upon time in the city of Seward there lived a young man who decided to go bear hunting. After hik- ing all day he sat upon a dead tree Ill order that he could obtain few min utes rest. Suddenly he saw black ob- ject coming toward him. His heart beat like a bass drum as he raised his rifle to his shoulder. One minutes more and he would have killed the on- coming animal; but something within him told that it was cub. He tried to take it alive but the 'pesky crittur' filled his hands with quills.

The present shortage of sugar Is
causing the housewife serious neon
yeniences. but nevertheless this need
not deter her from canning fruits
which are so necessary for her winter
supply.
N sSed the experimental stage, that
which are canned without sugar
will keep Just as we'll as those that
are canned with an abundance OF SUI
gar. 1t is not the sugar that e

mat the fruit is sufficiently sterilized
so as to kill all living bacteria.
Fruits canned without sugar are ! n
many cases much more desirable;

who are prohibited from en-
joying these very fruits because of the

simply drain off the juice and add
the desired amount of sugar and stir to
dissolve thoroughly. Bring to a boil
and cook for a few minutes and then
pour over the fruit and allow to cool.
Ono will not be able to tell the differ
ence between them and the sugar-pre-
served fruits. The usual mount OF
sugar is one-half cup to a pint jar.
For delicious fruits try canning
without sugar, then add tho sugar
when required. This will materially
reduce the canning cost in the summe

How to Can Strawberries
Stem and wash the berries. discard

the soft fruit In a saucepan n cover
with cold water. Bring quickly W
boil, strain and use to fill jars with.
Pack the berries closely in the jar
and tap down we'll to pack firmly. IL
is necessary to put a quart of berries
In a pint Jar. Fill to overlooking with
the boiling juice and then adjust the

at once in hot-water bath and process
for thirty minutes. counting h time
from two minutes after the water
starts boiling. When the time m

To Process
Any utensil that will hold sufficient
water to cover the Jars can be utilized
for a hot-water bath. Place boards or
a rack in the bottom to lift the Jars
about one inch from the bottom of
the utensil. Do not use the boiler
