That the Republican con-
gressional ticket will win up
to three seats in the lower
house.
Some of the best minds among the
Democratic strategists figure the
Democratic senate majority may go
as high as, or even higher than,
100000 and do not believe the Re-
publicans can take even one of
the solid block of twelve seats the
Democratic party now has in the
lower house.
However, there appears strong
basis for the belief that Ralph Scott,
Republican candidate for repre-
sentative from the Eleventh dis
trict, may retire DR.. William H.
Larrabee.
Other districts where the Repub-
Ilican chances appear good sFe IN
the First, where f. Miles Norton,
Republican, opposes William T.
Schultz, and in the Second district
where the dynamic Frederick Lands,
Republican, seeks the seat of George
Durgan.
Illness Affects Campaign
A factor that may initiate against
Lands is the serious illness which
sent him to the hospital in the
closing weeks of the campaign. One
Democratic leader, closely in touch
with the Second district, who
does not desire to be quoted, does
not believe Lands even will carry
his home county Of Cass.
His failure to carry Logansport,
seat of Cass county, and one OF the
two most populous units of the dis
trict, would nullify his chances.
Lands chief reliance apparently is
his strong personal following.
Although the Republican leaders
are doing no shouting about the
chances Of Senator Arthur r. Rob-
inson beating Minton for the senate,
curiously enough they are optimistic
about the possibilities of making an
appreciate dent in the Democratic
congressional delegation.
Some Republican leaders think
they may take as many as six of the
dozen seats.
Lake Race to Be Close
The possibility of Norton retiring
Schultz in the First district, COM
posed solely of Lake county, adj
mittedly is based to a great extent
on a possibility Of reaction to the
state administration handling Of
the Dillinger Jail break expose.
Although Democratic leaders ara
confident that Lake will swing into
line, the consensus among impartial
observers is that the result will be
very close.
One of the mysteries of the cur-
rent campaign is the apparent close
ness Of the mayoral race between
Judge Kern and Walter Pritchard,
Republican.
Democratic county and city lead
ers do not see any variation Of more
than 5000 votes between the city
and county tickets. but most OBJ
servers declare it is obvious that
Pritchard has more strength than
generally is admitted.

GARY, Ind.-President Roose-
welt with his New Deal promised
recovery" in industry. The first
effect Of the New Deal was the rise
of nearly so per cent in the prices
of articles of first necessity. The
unemployed of Gary did not get
the relief they were promised. OF
the several thousand unemployed
in Gary only few hundred have
secured public work, consisting in
that they remove the sand dunes
and carry them off to another
place, Soon there came an end
to this. At present the workers who
receive relief are compelled to work
for it, 80 hours per week for so
cents, 81 per month for a place to
sleep, and black coffee. If a worker
is i'll and unable to ride early in
the morning to go to work he is
banished from the paradise-flop-
house.
And this, workers, takes place
not in backward China or India,
but in the richest civilized" coun-

loaned a nickel from her and went
down to River Ave without return
fare. Finally she arrived at the
bureau.
There she was met with compli-
cations. She had been sick for a
few days and had given me the
necessary paper to fill out. She pre-
sented this paper at the bureau.
The supervisor returned it, saying,
that no one but the mother of the
family is allowed to sign it. My
mother asked her to erase it and she
would sign it, They refused saying
that she should go home and wait
few days until she received an
other paper. AS my mother went
out everywhere she saw people in
tears. Through her questions she
learned that the tickets had been
lowered to 50 and in places 50.
Then my mother was faced with
the realization that she possessed
no return fare. She got upon a
street car and showed through, but
the wary conductor approached
and demanded the fare. She
showed him her empty pocket book
and offered him the three cents,
which he refused. Immediately he
stopped the car and ordered her
off. There she was. stranded, with
but three cents to her name. At
length she went into nearby drug
store, explained the circumstances,
and received two cents from the
proprietor. Thus she arrived home.
So We stay, without sufficient
food and again fearing an eviction.

we attended county meeting of

our constitution and the Olson
Moratorium Law has been held con-
Stitutional by the impartial Su-

given sufficient amendments to the

the fact that the moratorium has

In this crowd of about 400 people
were many that didn't even bother

the May Day edition of the Daily
Worker, about three-fourths being
sold to those who had never seen

that this is the Communist Party

Since the Farmer Labor Party is
being held up as radical party by
the capitalist press of Minneapolis
in order to deceive the workers and
farmers into voting for the third
party Of capitalism, they should
begin to look to the Communist
Party as the way out of the crisis.

The Prevention of Arsenical
Poisoning
from Saturday.

reasoning
Continued from Saturday,
Every worker who is occupied in
factory where arsenical compounds
are used must never forget to wash
his hands and face before eating
his lunch. Before going to bed, it
is advisable to take a shower or a
bath. Nobody should smoke, eat,
drink or chew in workroom where
arsenic compounds are handled.
Whenever possible the street clothes
and the worker factory clothes
should be kept separately. Every
six months, worker should have
himself examined by competent
physician. People suffering from a
chronic disease, such as Bright S
disease, should not work with ar
senical compounds. 1t would, there
fore be advisable to have oneself
examined before starting on the job.
The shop committee should bear
pressure on the boss and see to it
that the following requirements
should be carried out:
The workroom should be well
ventilated. Suitable exhaust venti-
lators should be installed for the re-
moyal of arsenical dust and vapors.
The work table should be equipped
with down draft exhaust ventilators.
Arsenic fumes can be eliminated by
passing them through coke and
nitric acid. The floors. of the work
room should be of cement which will
minimize the amount of arsenic
absorption and allow more
thorough cleaning. All the recep-
tacles in which the arsenic COM
