cal parties is making ready for an
aggressive fight for the control of the
next congress. One-third of the SELL
ate-32 senators-are to be elected,
and an entirely new house of repre-
sentatives. The senate is now so
evenly divided politically that the
politicians on each side see splendid
possibilities for what they call fin
ished fight for possession Of that body.
At present there are 48 Republican
members of the body, AZ Democratic
members and one senator who is class
flied as Republican and Progressive.

stood 40 Republicans and Al Demo-

Fighting Ground Is Narrowed.
1t will thus be seen that there will
be senatorial elections in Is states
that are now represented by Repub-
licans and in II states that are nov
represented by Democrats. The SEN
atorial fighting, ground is atzmittedly
rather narrow. AS the politicians in
the two parties figure it out, there are
not to exceed four states now repre-
sented by Republicans in which there
is a chance for the opposition to win
and not more than three states repre-
sented by the Democrats in which the
opposition will have much of chance
to elect. According to this view, the
fighting ground is limited to seven of
the thirty-two states that will elect
senator's. The four states now rep
resented by a Republican senator
whose term will expire, in which there
will be sharp contests are New York,
Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, while the
three states now represented by Dem
ocrats in which there will be sharp
fighting, according to the politicians,
are Maryland, Colorado and Kentucky.
Practically all of the 33 senators
whose terms will expire the fourth of
next March desire to be reelected.
Indeed, the only one of the 80 who
has said that he will not be candi-
date for reelection is Senator Sher-
man Of Illinois.
President Woodrow Wilson in
his big touring car is once more a
familiar figure in the streets of the
national capital. For more than five
months not to exceed score of per-
sons outside his Immediately family
and the attaches Of the White House
got a glimpse of him. Now ne enters
his automobile every other day
promptly at 10 a. m. at the south or
private entrance to the White House
and minute later passes out of the
White House grounds through the
west gate, closely followed by another
touring car containing six secret serv-
ice men. Since the hour of his de-
parture on these outings has become
generally known there is nearly al
ways q ClOWO AACA0O NR "a PNOPAN VIM
live here, and tourists, gather about
the gate to see him go out. In week
or two more the local population will
no longer be represented in this gath
ering, and the out-of-town folk will
make up the crowd.
The president appears to enjoy get
ting in touch with the public once
more even to the extent permitted by
his physician. AS he starts out on his
morning drives there is always an ex-
preston Of pleasure on his counte-
nance as the crowd pays its respects
to him. Several times during the last
two weeks he has directed the chauf-
feur to stop his car just outside the
White House grounds so as to afford
the photographers chance to ''take"
him. That the president is not yet a
well man is indicated by the rule
which his physician has laid down
governing these outings.

The rule is that he may go out In
