year. Martin c. Ansorge. Republican
nominee In the Twenty-first district. Is
expected to win. All of these elections
would be Republican gains.
The Buffalo district, usually repre-
scented by Democrat-the Forty-second
lis counted upon as Republican gain
this year. Representative James 'M.
Mead IL expected to be defeated by G.
II. Cook. the Republican nominee.
North Carolina now has ten Demo-
Gratis in the lower branch of Congress
and should retain all OF these seats. al
though a hard fight is being made for
the Tenth district, with some possibility
OF Republican success. This is not
counted upon, though. North Dakota
has a solid Republican delegation OF
three, and 1t should not be disturbed.
Ohio Contests Close.
In Ohio there is small chance of a
gain. Big gains were made there two
years ago, and Republicans will have
their hands full to hold these gains.
In Oklahoma there are now two
Republican members In House delega-
ton totalling eight. 1t Is believed that
this figure will not be changed. although
there Is a possibility OF the Democrats
winning one OF these districts.
Nothing should prevent Oregon send
ing her Usual three Republicans to the
House. =
In Pennsylvania some enthusiastic
Republicans are claiming that a solid
Republican delegation will go to the
House. It is expected. however. that
there will be gain Of two In the Re-
publicans representing the Keystone
| State. The Tenth district is strongly
counted upon to switch to the Republic
/ 4.
ond district. also. should appear in the
| next Congress in the Republican column.
Rhode Island Is expected to send
back three Republicans. South Carolina
will. Of course, elect seven Democrats
| to the House South Dakota now has
| two Republicans and one Democrat in
| the House of Representatives. and In
dication are that there will be no upset
this year in this proportion.
| In the Tennessee delegation In the
| House, totalling ten. there are now two
Republicans These seats should be re-
tanned and while there Is a good deal
| of hope there is not anything like GER
| tainty of gaining any other seats
Texas soIidly Democratic.
Texas will send no Republicans to the
next House. One excellent reason for
| this Is the fact that no Republicans
| have been nominated. Utah has two
| Democrats In the House. There Is. of
course. a chance that eltlier one will
be beaten. possibly both, but this is
not counted upon at all.
| Vermont will return two Republicans
| to the House, as usual. Virginia will
elect one Republican and nine Demo-
Gratis as has been the case for some
time Republican candidates have been
put UP in several other Virginia dis
tricts, but it IL not expected they can
win.
Washington is expected TO hold its
solid delegation of five Republicans.
West Virginia now boasts five Republi-
cans and one Democrat. and strong
| effort Is being made to make the dele
| CATION in the House solidly Republican
but without much sound hope for sue
| cess.
| In Wisconsin Democrats and Republi-
cans are expected to unite In support
| of w H. Stafford in the Fifth district
in order to beat Victor Berger. the So
cialist. Indications are that this will
be accomplished. which means gain
| of one more Republican. The rest OF
the districts are counted as Republican.
In Wyoming the single Representative
! to be elected should be Republican be-
| yond doubt
