the third Ohio-the Dayton. Cox's
home district. R. G. Fitzgerald. the
republican candidate. was knocked
out by hay-fever. and had to quit the
campaign for several weeks. but he is
holding his own against w. G. Pick
rel In the ninth Ohio Representative
isaac r. Sherwood. the oldest man
VINO ever sat in the United States
Congress. is asking for just one more
re erection. Il is Il strong democratic
district. but W. w. Chalmore is go
ing after the seat terrifically and
! Win unlocked for determination and
perslstency. 1t now looks like about
a $50 break in favor of the re-
publican. In the twelft h district John
Z. Speaks will probably win the seat
| vacated by Representative Clement
Brumbaugh. to which Arthur r. Lam
neck is the democratic aspirant It's
: close fight in the seventeenth dis
trict between Representative William
A. Ashbrook. democrat, and d. NJ
Morgan. republican.
In Missouri. Champ Clark. the old
democratic war horse. who was
Speaker for six years, and now minor
Ity leader, is not safe. Theodore w.
Hukriede is making stubborn FIGHT
against him. Representative Leonidas
c. Dyer, republican, sitting member
from the twelfth st. Louis district. is
also on the ragged edge. There is a
colored candidate running on the
farm labor ticket who is pulling lots
of votes from Dyer, SO that Samuel
Rosenfeld, the democratic candidate
may slip in.
The republicans have the whole In
diana delegation, and hope 10 ko p it.
They have good candidates, a strong
organization, and the tide seems TO
be flowing satisfa Glory. The last
ri
safe.
In Illinois the republicans are rea-
sonably sure to hold all they have,
and surprise is planned in two Chi
cago districts. and part of it is 10
defeat Representative James Mean
drews. The biggest fight in Illinois
| is against Representative Henry T.
Rainey, in the twentieth district. The
latest reports are for about an even
; break between Rainey and Guy w.
: Shaw. the republican candidate.
! Iowa is now solidly republican. and
Twill probably stay so. with w. +. Kopp
Charles A. Kennedy. Chairman of the
| rivers and harbors committee, who
| has retired. Michigan also will prob
ably send a solid republican delega-
ton. Wisconsin has been confused
! with local issues. but there is good
reason to expect a solid republican
delegation.

In Minnesota Representative Els
worth made the try for governor, but
the republican candidate will doubt
less succeed him. Representative
Halvor Steenerson, chairman of the
post Office committee, has a hard fight,
Z. but ought to win, as his opposition
is not as dangerous as two years ago.
! There is also a chance that the re-
publican candidate, o. J. Larson of
Duluth. will win the eighth district
seat, now occupied by Representative
William l.. Cars Of Proctor.
The republicans look for Cleanup
in Kansas" and expect to defeat Will
liam A. Ayres in the eighth district.
with Richard e. Bird of Wichita.
The republicans now have three seats
| in Oklahoma, and have three chances
| to win-in the second, fourth and
sixth. In the second Representative
William W. Hastings, democrat, is OPP
posed by Alice M. Robertson, repub-
| iican: in the fourth Representative
Tom d. McKeown, democrat. is OPP
| posed by ]. c. Pringey, and in the
sixth the vacancy caused by Repre-
sentative Scott Ferris winning the
nomination for the Senate is being
| fought out between j. Elmer Thomas,
democrat, and l.. M. Gensman, repub-
| lican. Chances are good that the re-
publicans will lose the Dick T. Nor
gan seat, in the eighth district, for the
| long term. They have strong .candi-
! date for the short term in Charlie
SWindeu OF woodward.
