SURPRISES LEADERS
Continued from pare I.

The leaders Of both political parties
are not only prepared for but ex-
pcct many surprises in the contest for
State Offices in some of the most i'm
portant States al also In the strug
gle for the control Of Congress. Despite
their grossly extravagant claims of
the moment, private admission or
leaders everywhere reflects an unpre-
ceaented. degree of uncertainty over
results both national and State. Those
leaders admit the probability of a
very large protest vote" mainly d.
rected against the Republican Party
but applying to the inadequacies OF
the Democratic programme.
In no two sections of the country
will there be any marked similarity
between either the reasons for or agen-
c.ee through which aggrieved citizens
will express their disapproval OF one
or both parties.
In several Western States including
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota. North
Dakota and Missouri a radical move
ment provokebly the discomfort of far
mere and certain radical labor groups,
ia causing the Republican managers
Democratic opponents and inspiring
agitation for the ultimate creation of
a new party with the programme mid
way between the extreme radical and
etandpat reactionaryism.
In some of the Eastern States in
Guiding New York and New Jersey
and. in fact. in the larger centres OF
the country popular discomfort OF
eNieting conditions Is naturally en-
CouraKing to the followers Of Social
ism. Appreciating this state of mind
Democratic organizations in New
York are making an open bid for the
Socialist support which, in the five
boroughs of the city. is somewhere
around 10000 and throughout the
State n quarter of a million.
1t is significant that the Socialis;
Party and it's allies have nominally a
larger number of candidates for Con-
grees and State legislatures than at
any time in the history of that party
The fight for the 50 Senate and s3s

reasonable to assume that the Rcpub-
rcan representation in the Senate will
not fam below 81 and may, in fact,
reach 81. 1t is equally logical to ac-
cept the impartial opinion that the
Democrats will not have less than "a
members in the next Senate and In
fact may gain enough TO swell their
total 10 AZ.
In the present House of Represen-
tatives there are 29S Republicans, 131
Democrats with six scattering and
vacancies.
Apparently reliable reports and es-
Inmates of party managers indicate
that the Republicans are reasonably
certain of clecting 229 of their candi-
dates and may. in fact, present "a total
of 240. This would give the Demo
Gratis n minimum of 1876 Representa-
tives in the next House and q maxi
mum of 206.
The Republicans appear to be cer--
tain OF a majority OF at least 80 though
their most definite claim fixes the
number in excess Of 40.
The Republicans believe they have
reason to predict gains Of a Senator in
| each of Rhode Island. Ohio, Missouri
Wyoming. Nebraska, Montana and
Utah. The Democratic managers are
equally confident that they viii win
from the Republicans one seat each
in New York. New jersey, Maryland
Delaware. West Virginia, Michigan
| and Iowa. Reasons that appear loxi-
cal are advanced by both sides TO jus
tify such claims, though surface in
dications provide the greater amount
of substance TO those of the Republl-
| cans.
AS far as the House of Representa-.
| tives Is concerned Republican leaders
concsde the probability of importan
DelNcratic gains. The fact is mos
of Republican leaders believe a sub
stantial increase in Democratic repro
eentation would bc beneficial to tn,

gances in claims the Democrats ap
