CONGRESSMAN ARE
HAVING BITTER FIGHT
PARTY LEADERS EXTREMELY
CAUTIOUS IN MAKING DEFI-
MITE CLAIMS NOW.

CHICAGO, 1.-The congressional
campaign is occupying more and
more of the attention of party lead
ers, who find themselves confronted
with one of the most mixed" and
bitterly contested fights in years.
With respect, both to the house
and senate campaigns, both parties
are putting forth unusual efforts.
Leaders in both camps are unusual
ly secretive concerning campaign
plans, and extremely cautious in the
claims they make.
It's too early, the leaders say, to
tell much about the way things will
swing, although the election is less
than two months off.
Gain Information.
The campaign thus far, however,
has provided party leaders with some
information they regard as highly
significant and valuable, and they
construe it into auguries of victory
for their respective candidates. Con-
gressional campaign leaders have
learned, they said here on Saturday:
That the wet and dry question is
of negligible Importance.
That the country generally is
much more deeply stirred by the
1920 campaign than appears from
surface indications.
Party headquarters judge of the
interest in particular issues by the
letters they get about them, and the
calls for campaign literature. At
both the democratic and republican
Headquarters it was stated that calls
for league of nations campaign liter
allure greatly exceeded all others.
This is construed by political OBJ
servers here to mean that President
Wilson will get the Solemn refer
endum' he asked on the league issue
in much more conclusive fashion
than appeared possible two months
ago.
Much Surprised.
Party workers and leaders are
frankly surprised, they say, at the
small part the wet and dry question
is playing in the congressional fights.
1t was expected that in the congress
sional contests the future of prohi-
bition enforcement would be sealed
as result of a sharp drawing of the
issue for and against amendment OF
the Volstead law. Nothing like this
seems to have occurred.
The senate fight is interesting
party leaders, because of its direct
bearing on the treaty! Republican
leaders are claiming a gain of from
three to five seats out of the 33 to
be voted for.

LEGISLATURE COST The STATE
Sl25,OOO, OR $3.50 PER DAY
Legislation, Much of Which Is Not
Appreciated by People, Is Very
Extensive to Them.

The 1920 session of the general
assembly of Georgia cost approx
mately $125,0O0, according to sta
tistics' compiled by State Treasurer
w. j. Speer. This sum includes not
only the amount paid to the mem
bers of the Legislature in per diems'
but also clerk hire and sundry ex-
penses connected with the session;
1t also includes $500 appropriated
to pay the expenses of the Bahnsen
Investigation and $4,000 to ray the
expenses of the legislative commit
tee investigating the various state
institutions.
The payroll of the general assem-
blv. inclusive of clerk hire, w APP
proximately $4,000.
The fifty-day session thus cost
the state about $2,260 per day eX-
elusive of the amounts paid for com
mittee expenses and investigations.

Dutch People Cling
To Ancient Ceremonies
At Parliament Opening

THE HAGUE, Oct. 27.-The Dutch
people cling to the pageantry that
surrounds the movements of their
queen on state occasions though
sturdy democrats in their business
life. The opening of the Dutch parlia.
ment exemplified this.
This parliament opening is quaint
old ceremony. The queen rides In a
gilded carriage through the streets OF
the Hague to the old Knights hall in
Parliament Square and, with her
crown on her head, and her gold
braided prince-conso1t at her si6e.
sits on her throne for once each year
At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet
ministers are compelled by tradition
to wear giddy uniforms resembling
an old time minstrel man in an ad.
mirals hat. For some reason this
tradition decreed that the ministers
on this solemn occasion must wear
long white duck trousers which con.
trast strangely with their tremendous
black, gold and orange hats, shaped
like an inverted gravy dish.
After this one day of pomp, the mir
listers and members of parliament rui
on their working clothes and get down
to business, while the queen, who
prides herself on being typical Dutch
woman with domestic tastes, lays her
crown aside for another year.
