4 the frying pan into the fire.
With adjournment a hectic
three or four months is
ahead for most Of the members and
in particular for those who feel them
selves under the urge to seek renomi-
nation and reelection.
For the great body Of these men,
bers. the time between now and Janu-
ary 3, when the next session opens,
will not be vacation. 1t will be a
period of political survey. active cam
paigning, and preparing for the NOM
mating conventions or primaries.
Much is heard Of iunketing on the
part of members OF the House and
Senate this Fall. The spectacular ex-
pedition to the Philippines and the
Orient, led by Vice President John N
sort Of thing. Some will go to Europe.
There will be some junkets under the
guise of congressional activities of a
necessary character as there always
are. But for the great bulk of those
who are seeking return to the House

at hand.
The word already is going the
rounds that, regardless of which
party makes the better showing in
the 1886 elections, there will be big
turnover in the next Congress. That
is to say. many changes are looked for
in the primaries and nominating COM

Democrats Most Affected.
Although this to some extent will
affect the Republicans, it will extend
of course, most largely to the Demo-
Gratis because Of their prepondence.
Able Democratic leaders in the House,
for instance, say frankly they look
forward to q long list of changes in
personnel. even If the Democrats are
able to retain their majority.
Many of the members feel that 1t
will be up to them in large measures
to make their campaigns between now
and the opening of the next session.
Once that session begins, they doubt
less will be tied up in Washington.
no one knows for how long or for
what purpose. Regardless OF the cur
rent talk Of a short and innocuous
session next Winter, when the presi-
Dental and congressional campaigns
are actively beginning, it Is almost
entire guesswork as to how the next
session actually will shape up.
The fact is that a strong belief, if
not apprehension. exists in Congress
that by the first of the year PresidefS
Roosevelt will have evolved q new list
of must" measures. The bonus is
sue will have to be disposed of and
indications are that the bonus bill
will be enacted. Despite the fact the
administration and the Democratic
organization in Congress. in obedience
to the administration, have tried to
spike the FraZier-Lemke farm mort
gage refinancing and imitation bill,
it seems probable it will be almost
out of the question to dodge a vote
on it next Winter.
Many Changes in Laws.
Much of the legislation jammed
through under White House whip and
spur this session undoubtedly will de-
velop need of change and amendment
by next Winter. At least, officials are
expected to ask for amendments.
Possibility of demands for vast new
appropriations have been worrying the
Appropriations Committee leaders and
are certain to worry Congress next
session. The House Appropriations
Committee will take up its work in
December, a month or so before the
session opens, and before that the
President and his advisers will pre-
pare the budget for the next fiscal
year. q budget with far-reaching pos
sibilities in both the economic and
political sense.
1t is likely that December will find
