ton correspondent, will have q bitter
fight on his hands to retain the old
Merrill Moores district-the twelfth.
In Iowa-The outlook is not encour-
aging for the Republicans because Of
the hog and corn checks. which puts
different aspect on the local CAM
paign-something the Republicans
did not have to contend against in
their hope-stirring victory In Rhode
Island. The second and ninth dis
tricts are said to be giving the least
promise.
In Kansas-The Republicans split
even in the last election, notwith-
standing the Democratic landslide.
and in the next year election they are
counting on recapturing the entire
solid delegation. With the veteran
Representative w. William A. Ayres
gone. they say, the entire State should
be Republican.
In Kentucky-The Republicans got
back the old RobSion seat and next
year they expect to get the others
which previously have been Republic
an, especially the old Langley seat in
the seventh. Following the 1928 elec-
ton the Democrats held only the first
three districts, and following the 1892
election they had all nine, so the
Republicans see good battle-ground
there.
In Maine-A solid Republican dele
cation is expected, even in spite of the
big grant for harnessing the tides Of
Passamaquoddy Bay for power pur-
poses-because this is in the district
of the present Republican member,
former Gov. Ralph o. Brewster.
Campaign in Maryland.
In Maryland-The particular drive
will be made in the old Zihlman
(Cumberland) district now held by
Representative David J. Lewis, who
anteceded Fred N. Zihlman. and in
the third. formerly held by Repre-
sentative John Philip Hill and now
by Representative Vincent L. Palmi-
sano. While Representative Stephen
W. 0dlllbllll ID WCll CIlIlICo AL
the fifth district, this was historically
Republican and held for many years
by Representatives Sidney E. Mudd,
father and son. Contests are being
arranged in all OF the six Maryland
districts.
In Massachusetts-The Republicans
practically concede the two rock
ribbed Democratic districts in Boston.
now held by Representatives John w.
Mccormack and John P. Higgins, and
are pretty well discouraged of ever
defeating Representative William P.
Connery, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Labor. who comes from the
strong industrial center of Lynn. They
are going after all the others. with
special hopes Of taking the third,
which the late Representative Frank
Foss lost by only few votes and the
eighth. formerly held for years by
Representative Charles L. Underhill.
They are also trying to figure some
way in which they may recapture the
second (GilletD district. now occupied
by Representative William j. Gram
field-which started the Democratic
landslide.
In Michigan-Where the Repub-
licans made their best performance
with a net gain of four in the Demo-
cratic sweep last year, following a
loss Of seven seats in the 1880 land
slide, they feel they have good pros
poets Of picking up three more seats,
and probably six. Their best pros
pect is the seat formerly occupied by
Representative w. Frank James in
the twelfth district. They feel pretty
sure they can get the eleventh and
sixteenth districts and are hopeful for
the first, fourteenth and fifteenth.
In nMinnesota-Representative Paul
]. Kvale, the labor leader, is
sure of reelection and the Repub-
licanS have already won back five
Of the nine districts. They will make
strong fight for the other three
the second, third and ninth. The
second, however, Is quite strongly
farm labor.
Reeds Blasts Watched.
In Missouri-The Republicans are
watching to see the affect of Jim"
Reeds anti-administration blasts. The
Democrats gerrymandered Missouri
and allowed the Republicans only
three seats-the single one now held
by q Republican, Dewey Short, in the
seventh, and the two st. Louis dis
tricts formerly held by Representa-
tives Leonidas c. Dyer and Cleveland
H. Newton. The Republicans are now
going to put up spirited contest In
each of these districts and see a
good chance for q turnover in Mis-
souri,.
In Montana-They will make q Wig
orous contest to recapture the second
district, formerly held by Representa-
tive Scott Leavitt.
In Nebraska-The Republicans are
going confidently after each district.
with specially bright expectations of
recapturing the fifth, held for 20 years
by the late Representative Moses P.
Kinkaid and later by Representative
Bob" Simmons. They have hopes
of retaking the first district, on which
the late Representative G. Frank
