THE MORNING OREGON! AX, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1920 T CONGRESS Safe Majority in Both Houses Predicted. . PROSPECT IS IMPROVING 'Gain or Eight Scats in Senate Forecast, With Majority of It, 71 in House. ' CHICAGO. Sf.pt. 29. (Spei-ial. Tith the end of the campaign near, republican headquarters in Chicago have begun devoting special atten tion to the senatorial and congres sional elections. Vice-Chairman Adams and Senator New today discussed the prospects for the senate, and Martin B. Madden, representative, in conRress, made an estimate or the next house. Their predictions were as follows: Of the H senators to be elected in November (two additional members filling the unexpired terms of Bank head of Alabama and. Martin of Vir ginia, deceased), the republicans are sure of IS. reasonably secure of eipht others and have a flirhtinir chance for etlll another. Present indications are that the republicans will elect 23, showing a net pain of eight. In the present senate there are 49 republicans and 47 democrats. A new Kain of eifjht would imke the repub lican strength 57 and' the democratic. J9. a republican majority of 17. Of the 435 representatives to be elected, the republicans expect to make a net ain of 25. The present majority in the house is 4. The next house repub lican majority will not be less than 71. Klfteen Counted Sure. The 15 republican senate candidates rated as certain of election are: Cali fornia. Samuel M. Shortrldge: Connec ticut, Frank B. Brandegee: Idaho, frank B. flooding: Indiana. James K. Watson: Illinois. William B. McKin ley; Iowa, Albert B. Cummins: Kan sas, Charles Curtis; New Hampshire. George H. Moses; New York. James W. Wadsworth Jr.: North Dakota. K. F. Ladd; Ohio, Frank B. Willis; Pennsyl vania, Boies Penrose; South Dakota, Peter Norbeck: Vermont, William P. Dillingham; Washington, Wesley Jj. Jones. Of these California, Idaho and South Dakota are expected to elect repub lican successors to democrats, a gain of three. The republican say they have better than an even chance to day in Colorado. Kentucky, Mary land. Missouri. Oklahoma, Utah, Wis consin and Oregon. Of these states Colorado, Kentucky. Maryland. Okla homa and Oregon are said to be set to return republican candidates as successors to democrats, making a net gain in this group of five, or a total net gain in the two groups of eight, which would increase the re publican strength in the new senate to 67, yearing the democrats 39. Two State Doubtful. In two states the situation Is In doubt. They are Arizona and Nevada, where successors to democrats are to be elected. If both these states should be lost to the republicans, which is not conceded, it would not affect the estimated republican gain of eight in the new senate. The demo cratic candidates are conceded the election in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, louisiana. North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Kast. of the Mississippi river reports at head quarters Indicate that there is not a section where the republicans will lose representatives, but they stand a good chance of increasing the re publican lead. In the New England states the democrats are expected to make no gains, but to lose at least one district in Connecticut. In the old middle states the repub licans look for a gain of three mem bers from Pennsylvania, two from New Jersey and one In Maryland. In the old middle west group they ay they will gain three members In Ohio and one in Illinois. Invading the southern state, so called, they count on a gain of two Jn Tennessee, two in North Carolina, one in Oklahoma and two in Ken tucky, four republicans from Mis souri, one from Kansas and one from Colorado. On the other side of the mountains, they count on a gain of two In California and one in Nevada. These estimates do not take into account, the republican leaders say, a possfble landslide vote for the re publican ticket. HARDING IS 3-T0-1 SHOT (Continued From First Page.) breasts of many voters, according to bis statement. "Eugene V. Debs is in prison." he Announced. "I'm for him for three reasons. In the first place he is the only candidate that can be found when he is wanted. In the second place there is no question about his campaign expenditures, because they are small. In the third place we don't iiave to listen to his speeches." In the vote by telephone a page was selected at random from the telephone directory and each person whose name appeared thereon was called up and asked to state his or her preference foi president. As the calls were made curing the afternoon few men a ewered the telephone. In most cases , It was a woman s voice that answered end gave her opinion for and against me canaidates. Most of the persons called answered th query in good spirit with one ex ception, when a woman announced . 1 eatedly: "It s none of your business. It's my privilege to vote as I please." In almost every instance the answer : was made promptly, indicating that ; the question had already been decided through long discussion in the family. One woman, in declaring that she . was for Harding, said that she lived In an apartment house, where every . person without exception was for the republican candidate. A few of the women were in doubt, and admitted that they "didn't care cither way. "I'm not an intelligent voter," said ' ' one, "but someone gave me a Hardine t . button and I'm wearing it. so I guess I will vote for Harding." When asked who her husband would vote for, she answered very frigidly: "Politics Is one thing we never speak about." Harding led in the poll of the day . etaff of the central library by a small margin, but a number of librarians aome of them heads of departments. aru still undecided as to tneir choice lor president. Of the 16 votes cast for Harding, three were made by men who work in the bindery, the only men encountered on the tour of the library. They said they were for Hardin, "because he Is tha best man." In nearly every case the supporters of Cox were more decided in their preference than those who gave Hard, ing as their choice. "I don't Hke Cox," they said, almost without exception, "but I will vote for him because he is for the league " of "nations." . "I think Cox ha more sense than Harding," said another, "but I don't think either Harding or Cox has much sense," she added. "Both candidates have been crammed down our throats," stated one librari an emphatically. "I think it is an in sult to ask the voters to vote for either one of them." She put her self In the Harding column as the lesser of two evils, she said. One librarian said she was for Hard ing "because I think it Is possible that he may appoint men In his cabi net who are the big men of the coun try, men who have not had a chance to speak for eight years." One vote was for the socialist labor candidate. Many of the staff are pages and not old enough to vote. Nine were undecided yesterday as to their choice. "I registered as a democrat," said one, "but I certainly am not going to vote for Cox." Two votes were cast for the pro hibition candidate. Several librarians had not been in the city long enough to register. At the straw ballot taken during a meeting of the Grade Teachers as sociation held at the Unitarian church Governor Cox received the strongest support yet recorded from any group since the Informal ballot was ini tiated. The result was 91 for Harding and 52 for Cox. More than 100 of the women present declined to vote, and as the balloting was "secret" no ex pressions of political belief were heard. Returns from the state on the straw vote being taken by the Owl drug store show 1296 for Harding and 626 for Cox. Harding received 859 votes from men and Cox 470. The women gave harding 337 and Cox 156. The straw vote In the store in Portland yesterday gave Harding 609 and Cox 391. Men voted for Harding. 445; Cox, 289. Women voted for Harding, 164; Cox, 105. ns. REisira WEDS BRIDE IS DAUGHTER OF IiATK ST. LOUIS BREWER. Sirs. Gref nongh, During VTorld War, Furnished Information to Department ot Justice. NEW YORK.

'I believe that the moral Influence will ho sufficient." the democratic candidate declared, but indicated that behind moral force it was necessary to have armed force, and he paralleled the case to the county e-heriff. who. he said, is seldom called upon to use physical force to carry out decrees, but has it if necessary. The governor also said that Colonel Roosevelt criti cised The Hague tribunal for lack of force. Pointing out that In 100 years of Its existence the Monroe doctrine had never required a shot for its main tenance. Governor Cox said: "Bear tiiis in mind. First, that mat ters must be submitted to discussion, and arbitration, and then if any na tion violates it (the league recom mendations) they are going to im pose the commercial embargo.
