All this brings home the need for a

Three Speeches Already Made.
Three speeches have already been
made in this broadcast campaign-by
Chairman Bolton on October an1
by Representative Joseph W. Martin,
ir., of Massachusetts,. assistant Re-
publican floor leader, on October 10
both over the Columbia system. and
by Representative Theodore Chris
tianson of Minnesota on october II,
over the National Broadcasting Co.
network. The next two broadcasts will

leader on the Appropriations Com
mittee, on October 30 and Represent
ative Charles A. Eaton of New Jersey
on October 81.
This year there are only three sp7-
cial elections to fill House va"a.C. ::
November 5. in the fourth * nt-c
district, to fill the vacancy caused L
the death of Representative CD -..
Garden on June Is. Under the lF
the nominations for both parties srs
made by the county committees. The
three Democratic candidates seeking
the nomination were Edward F. Creel,
Andrew W Nichols and Judge j. R.
Layman. The Republican organiza-
ton decided not to name candidate.
In the second New York district the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Representative William F. Brunr =

vacancy-at-large caused by the reSig-
nation of Representative Michael =.

next year-the regular biennial elec-
ton.
In Ohio Gov. Davey has refused to
call a special election to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of Rep
resentative Charles v. Truax, at large.
so this also goes over to the 1885
/ general election.
| The Republican Congressional COM
mittee will be watching closely also
the trend of the voting in the guber-
material election in Kentucky where
King Swope, former House member,
is the Republican candidate and
Happy" Chandler the democratic
standard bearer. In Mississippi the
governorship is so certainly Demo-
cratic that there will not even be any
point in watching.
Strategy Is Gua-dcd.
Now. when it comes to telling just
which particular districts the Re-
pubhcans hope to win from the Dem
/ ocrats, there is reluctance to disclose
their strategy thus early in the cam
| paign, but-the layout is broadly
something like this;
! In Califorria-Hopes especially good
/ to recapture the third, the old Curry
/ district. now held by Representative
Frank H. Buck; and with fights espe-
, cially in the seventh, eighth, tenth,
eleventh. twelfth, thirteenth. four
teenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and eight
eenth.
In Colorado-Local leaders hope for
all four districts However. Acting
House Leader Edward T Taylor has
held the fourth district Democratic
for 29 years. This is believed to be
/ personal and not party tribute. The
Republican chances are far from good
in the fourth district-just the same
about the old Rainy district (twen-
tieth) and the old Arnold district
twenty-third), in Illinois. The Re-
publicans feel that a change may
come and that now may be their
| chance.
| In Connecticut-The break last time
was even between the parties, and next
year a persistent fight is to be made
| against the four sitting Democrats
with especially good prospects of re-
taking the third district held so long
by former House Leader John @. Til
son. and the at-large seat now he'd
by Representative William M Citron.
In Florida-The Republicans are
showing unprecedented activity and
| hopefulneSs. and the scouts have in
timated that the Republicans may
| gain any one of the five districts.
| In Idaho-Both seats were Cor many
| years strongly Republican when held
by Representatives Burton L. French
and Addison T. Smith. Both will be
fought for in the coming drive.
| In Illinois-An effort will be made in
each of the 25 districts for the two
| seats at large, although at least four
Chicago districts are admittedly we'll
entrenched by Democrats-the fourth,
fifth, sixth and eighth The fifth
has been held by Representative
Adolph ]. SABBATH, now dean of the
House. for 80 years, so what chance
is there there? The third and the
seventh in Chicago were formerly
Republican districts. In the ninth,
the ole Fred Britten district; the twen-
ty-fourth, the old Tom William dis
trict, and the twenty-fifth, the Dem
nison district, the Republicans con-
slider they have exceptionally good
prospects. The entire State of Illi-
nois will be one Of the liveliest con-
gressional backgrounds.
General Contest in Indiana.
In Indiana-The program is for a
contest in each district, with only
one strongly Observation-Disclosures
ative John w. Boehne, jr., in the
eighth. All others are claimed as
promising Republican prospects. The
fourth, long held by Hogg; the sixth,
