Should the democrats carry the
House, eliminating the greatest re-
publican majority which has sat In
recent years, the temper of the people
will have been proved to be nothing
short of revolutionary.
The republican prediction re-
specting the Senate has caused wide
discussion in the capitol. 1t is said
that the seats OF the following re-
publican senators are likely to be
taken by democrats.
Mclean of Connecticut; Calder of
New York; Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey; Dupont of Delaware; France
of Maryland, and sutherland of West
Virginia.
Republican leaders admit that they
are not pinning assy extrayagant hope
on electing either of the six.
The states where republican lead
ers think they have chances TO win
seats now held by democrats are:
Rhode Island. where Beekman
Winthrop is opposing Senator Gerry;
Missouri, whore r. r. Brewster is
opposing Senator Reed; Ohio. where
S. d. Fess is running against Sem
ator Pomerene; Nebraska, where X.
ID. Howell is opposing Senator Hitch
cock; Wyoming, where Representa-
tive Frank Mondell is running
against Senator Kendrick; Utah.
where Senator King will be opposed
at the proper time, and New Mex
leo, where Judge Davis has entered
the field against Senator Andrieus
Jones.
Democrats Smile
Democrats are inclined to smile
over such republican claims. In Mis-
souri,, the understanding is that tho
wounds created by the bitterness OF
the primary have been healed. and
that the democracy behind Reed is
aggresslveiy united In Nebraska,
everything is sitting pretty" with
the democratic party. The Bryan
Hitchcock feud has been patched up,
and the Florida orator will make
speeches for the democratic ticket on
which his brother. Charles, is run
ring for governor.
The race in Utah will be close, It
is indicated. Senator King. In the
beginning. announced that he would
not run again. But he changed his
mind and has been nominated. In
New Mexico, Senator Bursum and
Secretary Fall. between whom there
were differences six years ago, have
now united on a candidate to oppose
Senator Jones. The latter has gone
home to look after his fences, thus
giving tho impression that he re-
CARDS the situation as more or less
serious. Although Ohio is the homo
state of the President. and the re-
publicans are determined to win
there. the idea obtains that Pomerene
will be reelected. He Is an exceed
ingly able man, of presidential size.
whereas his opponent, Mr.. Fess. Is
regarded as essentially a politician.
All Fasteners
1t 10 to be noted that the six re-
publicans the republicans do =. not
hope to re-elect are fasteners and
standpatters and unimportant. Neither
Calder of New York. Freiinghuysen
of New Jersey. Mclean OF Conneotl-
cut. Dupont of Delaware, France of
Maryland nor Sutherland OF West
Virginia have been able to attain
high rank In the Senate.
On the other hand. among the DEM
ocrats the republicans centend they
will retire are three very able men:
Hitchcock of Nebraska, Pomerene of
Ohio, and Reed OF Missouri. Hitch
cock and Pomerene. IL they are re-
elected. will be candidates In The
next convention for the democratic
presidential nopin alton

Country Is Making
Progress Despite
Strike on Roads

Washington, Sept. 8-Despite in
dustrial difficulties. the couutry's
economic progress is continuing stea-
dily toward normal conditions, the
commerce department declared today
in survey of the general situation.
"No clearer demonstration could be
asked" the department said, "to in
dicate the soundness of the fundamen-
tai conditions underlying the present
business revival than the persistence
with which commerce and industry
have progressed in the face of recent
serious obstacles, the extremely ser
ious labor difficulties through which
we are now passing would, under ma
ny conditions have completely demor-
allied business. Instead, real prog
ress continues to be made
"There is reason to suppose that the
economic losses ocasioned by the coal
and railroad strikes will make them
selves felt for some months to come.
Disturbances of this character affect
ing basic industries cannot take place
without having to be paid for in the
long run. 1t is possible that the full
force Of these losses will be felt noro
severely Ia future months.s
