REPUBLICANS MAY
GAIN 4 IN SENATE
Outlook Is for c.. o. p. In
crease by Elections to Be
Held Tuesday.
By UnIversal Service.

With thirty.three United States
Senators to be elected next Tues
day. all indications point to a slight
increase in the Republican member
ship and a corresponding loss OF
Democratic seats.
Forecasts compiled by Republican
and Democratic managers, as near.
ly accurate as is possible in the
present complexity of the political
situation. make it appear probable
that the next Senate will have 81
Republican members and "a Demo-
Gratis. The present membership Is
so Republicans and 36 Democrats,
giving the Republicans a majority
of "a votes. II the Republican
membership is increased to 81, the
majority will be 2S votes.
1t appears likely that the Repub.
leans will lose three seats now held
by Republican Senators in the
States Of New Jersey, North Da-
kota and Maryland. But they have
more than an even chance OF cap.
turing the seats OF five Democratic
Senators from the States OF Ne.
braska, Rhode Island, Montana, New
Mexico and Utah.
This would give the Republicans
a net gain Of two members.
Other calculations include as
likely to go Republican are the
States Of Missouri, Ohio and Wyom-
ing, but conservative figures from
these three States make II appear
altogether improbable that Reed
will be defeated In Missouri, Pom.
creme in Ohio, or Kendrick In
Wyoming, so that few Of the Re-
publican managers are making any
claims to winning seats In those
three States.
On the opposide side Of the tabula.
tion, Democratic managers are not
entirely willing to concede that the
Republicans will elect their candi.
dates in Nebraska, Montana, Della.
ware, Rhode Island or Utah. New
York is claimed by both parties, with
the odds slightly favoring Calder.
or the thirty.three Senators to be
chosen, fourteen are regarded as al.
most certain to be Republicans. as

c. D. P. FORECASTS
40 LEAD IN HOUSE
Leaders Frankly Admit Present
Big Majority Will Be Cut
Down Tuesday.
Nv Universal Service.

The Republicans will continue In
control OF the lower house of Con-
gress after next Tuesdays election,
but by a greatly reduced majority,
according to information at hand
from all the States.
A forecast authorized by the Re-
publican Congressional Committee
fixes the Republican majority in
the next House at about 3S or pos
sibly 40. The majority over the
Democrats in the present House
is 1877.
The forecast is based upon re-
ports received from all the States
where the contests are severest,
and represents the acme OF con.
servatism upon the part of the Re.
publican organizers. other calcu.
lations have placed the probable
majority at something near 10

able maximum and is refusing to
advance further or to make more
extravagant claims as TO what the
result in the country will be.
The Republican majority may
run above 40. but hardly any one
connected with either the Demo.
cratic or Republican organization
will claim that 1t will fall below
that figure.
The Republican committee looks
for It's biggest losses in the Middle
West and in some of the States
along the Atlantic seaboard. Re.
ports indicate there may be Demo.
