WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Repub-

last ditch" for control of the house
during the next session, according
to Representative John @. Tilson
of Connecticut, who asserted today
that he is assured of the Repub-
lican nomination for the speaker
ship.
Democrats, with a definite ma
jority, have every expectation of
electing John N. Garner of Texas.
Tilson's claim to the Republican
nomination will be decided at a
party caucus on Nov. 80, a week be-
for congress convenes.
"Our party may be outvoted, :"
Tilson said, and the nomination for
Speaker may be an empty honor,
so far as the Republicans are con-
cerned. Nevertheless, if am to
be the minority, instead of the ma
jority, floor leader during the COM
ing session, it is most important
that the party give me its undi-
vided support.

Some want the government to

Some want the tariff scaled down

And over all this hangs the row

With the New Year national poll
tics will swing into it's stride pre-
paratory to the presidential contest
of 1882.
Within this year the question of
President Hoover's denomination
may be fairly definitely settled. The
Democratic party will by the next
New Years, have its plan of cam
paign well into execution.
Though the nominating conven-
tions will not be held until June
of 1882, many major elements will
have crystallized because every po-
litical development is a sprout from
roots already down. Many of these
roots have been planted in 1890.
What. grows up on the political
landscape in the next two years
cannot be understood except in the
light of 1880 developments.
Major political situations of 1880
concerned the following:
