Republicans to Make Gains.
The principal gains by the Republi
cans, according to the figures, will be
In New York, 10; Colorado, 2; Iowa, 3;
Connecticut, 2; Illinois, 6; Indiana, 3;
Ohio, 2; New JerBey. 3; Missouri, 3;
Pennsylvania, 4; Rhode Island, Wash
ington, Oregon, Delaware, Massachu
setts, Minnesota, 1 each.
On the other hand, the Democrats
will carry a few districts now repre
sented by Republicans. Among them
tne most HKeiy are Utah, 2; .west Vir
ginia, Nebraska, 1 each.
The Progressives will probably lose
V of the districts now represented by
them in New York. 1; Pennsylvania,
S; Illinois, 1; Oregon. 1: "Washington,
1 ; Michigan, 1, and. Illinois, 2, but will
probably gain 2 districts in Kansas and
Z In California.
r'roin the detailed Teports it is ap
parent that the chief factor in prevent
ing complete reversal of the political
control of the Lower House, looked for
in an "off year." is the popularity of
President Wilson. The fact is admitted
by the Republicans.
Trade Conditions Aid Republicans.
The agencies that manifestly con
tributed to the Republican successes
arc trade conditions, the slump of the
Progressive following throughout the
country, and combinations between Re
publicans and Progressives in many
states, notably New York, and local
conditions.
In several states the prohibition and
religious Issue figure prominently in
the Congressional campaigns. The Pro
liibltionists are making a strong bid
for two Congressmen In California.
They also have candidates in Kentucky,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri,
who seem to have a chance of election.
The religious issue figures promi
nently in some of the Iowa and Da
kota contests, the organization known
as the "A. P. A." conducting spirited
fights against candidates of pronounced
Catholic tendencies. The indications
from the districts where this sort of
fighting is In progress are that such
campaigns willbe ineffective.
Old Leaders, to Reappear.
With the revival of Republican pros
pects many of the old-time leaders of
the House of Representatives will
probably reappear in the seats now
represented by Democrats. Most prom
inent of these are "Uncle Joe" Cannon,
the ex-Speaker, and William B. McKin
lty. who as chairman of the Republican
National Committee managed the Taft
campaign in 1912, which resulted in
Republican disaster.
In the resume by states, the forecast
counts Alabama, Arizona and Arkansas
as wholly Democratic
In California, with 11 Representa
tives to be elected this year, political
prophets are forecasting victories for
five Republican candidates. This prog
nostication is predicted upon the pri
mary vote and the overwhelming Re
publican registration in the state.
Klection is conceded to two Democrats,
two Progressives, one Prohibitionist,
and the onlj- man who ran as an Inde
pendent, William Kent. Incumbent Rep
resentative from the first district.
Colorado Resents Tariff Bill.
The industrial situation is an impor
tant factor in the Congressional con
tests in the three districts, as well as
determining the Senatorship. The peo
ple of Colorado resent the conduct of
its Representatives at Washington in
the fight for the removal of the tariff
on sugar and lead and for their failure
to defend the state against the charge
that it refused to enforce law and or
der. The election of Phelps, Republi
can, In the First District, is regarded
as certain. In the Second, Timberlake.
Republican, has apparently the best
chance. In the Third, Keating, the
present Democratic member, appears
to be certain of defeat. In the Fourth
District, Taylor. Democrat, seems to
have a good chance to win. thereby
making the delegation three Repub
licans and one Democrat, instead of
four Democrats, as at present.
The Republicans seemingly have a
chance of reclaiming two of the five
Connecticut seats now held by Demo
crats. In the Third District. Thomas 1.
Reilly. Democrat, will be re-elected be
cause of the Republican split. In the
Fourth, Jeremiah Donovan, Democrat,
has as his principal competitor, ex
Representative Ebenezer Hill, high-tariff
Republican, and the fight will be
close, though Donovan should win. in
the Fifth District. William Kennedy,
Democrat, will have a hard fight
against James P. Glynn. Republican,
who stands a good chance of winning.
Political, conditions in Delaware
point to the election of Thomas W.
anuer. Republican, to the only Con
crefsional district credited to the
state. Franklin Brockson. the present
Democratic Congressman, has been re
nominated. J. Hall Anderson is the
Progressive candidate, but is not ex
pected to cut much of a figure. The
tariff and business conditions point to
Republican success. There are also
Democratic factional differences over
local issues.
Florida and -Georgia are certainly
Democratic
The racer for the Senate and House
In Idaho promise close contests, es
pecially for Senatorial honors, for the
two active candidates in the more
dominant parties for United States
Senator, James H. Brady. Republican
seeking "vindication of his record by
succeeding himself, and James H.
Hawley, Ex-Governor, Democrat, are
old rivals. Hawley defeated Brady four
years ago in the race for Gubernatorial
honors. Brady was elected to the Sen
ate two years ago by the last Legisla
ture to succeed the late Weldon B. Hey
burn. The third candidate is Paul Ciag
stone. Progressive.
Representative Smith and Robert M.
McCracken are the Republican candi
dates for Congress. Bert H. Miller and
James Forney are the Democratic can
didates. Apparently Smith will be
reelected. McCracken has a fight on
his hands because Forney is the only
Northern Idaho candidate, and as the
north is clamoring for representation
in Congress, Republicans and Demo
crats there will support him. With the
advantage of the Republican majority,
McCracken should win.
Progressive Hurts Sherman's Chance.
At this stage of the campaign in
Illinois Senator Sherman, Republican,
holds an advantage. His lead Is In
constant danger through the threat
ened Inroads of Raymond Robins. Pro
gressive. Continued Increase of Rob
in's strength, which may be expected
following a second trip to Illinois by
Colonel Roosevelt, will work to the
ultimate benefit of Roger C Sullivan.
Democrat. Sherman has a tolerably
unified Republican party at his back.
Should the last weeks of the cam
paign indicate that the race Is between
Sullivan and Robins, Sullivan will get
a tremendous bi-partisan vote in Chi
cago. .Otherwise Sherman will get the
straight Republican vote in Chicago,
which would be sufficient to elect him.
coupled with his expected down-state
plurality.
There are 27 Congressional districts
in the state. Representatives Madden,
Man and McKenzie, Republicans are
expected to be re-elected, although
Mann has a fight on his hands be

suffrage. Democratic incumbents

Third Ex-Representative Wilson. Repub
lican, was nominated by the Republicans,
having been defeated by a small plurality
In 1912. Indications are that Mr. Wilson will
e elected.
Fourth Representative McDermott, Demo
crat, who resigned from Congress rather
than face expulsion because of the Mulhall
charges, was renominated In the Democratic
primaries. There Is now a contest for the
nomination, brought by William E. Furlong
who charges fraud. Whoever is Anally de
clared the nominee will be elected.
Sixth This district m doubtful. Repre
sentative James McAndrews, Democrat, may
be defeated by former Postmaster Frederick
B. Coyne, Republican, who Is making a
strong campaign in a normally Republican
district, the old Lorimer territory. Coyne Is
believed to have the better chance at this
time.
Republicans May Gala.
Seventh The Republicans have the chance
to gain a seat in this district. State Senator
Niels Juul, defeated in 1912 because of the
Roosevelt vote. Is again the Republican
nominee against Representative Buchanan,
Democrat. Juul probably will bo elected.
Jvlnth Representative Britten, Republican.
Is in danger, because r the Progressive
candidacy of Richard T. Crane. Britten has
the best chance.
Eleventh Representative Copley, formerly
in control of both the Republican and Pro
gressive organizations In his district, has
been forced to run this time as a straight
away Progressive. The Republicans have as
their candidate State Representative Shep
ard, of Elgin. The Democrats nominated
John A. L.ogan. of Elgin. The district is
doubtful.
Twelfth This district is now represented
by Representative Hinebaugn, chairman of
the Progressive National Congressional Com
mittee. His opponent on the Republican
ticket Is Charles E. Fuller, of Belvidere. one
of the Republican old guard, defeated in
1912. George V. B. Weeks, of Ottawa, Is
the Democratic candidate. A reunited and
reorganized Republican party in the dis
trict Indicates that Fuller will win.
Fourteenth Representative Tavenner Is
renominated by the Democrats. The Re
publicans named ex-State Representative
Abbey, while the Progressives have a
strong candidate in Henry B. Burgess, of
Aledo. The Progressive vote may be suf
ficient to cause the re-eiection of Mr. Taven
ner In this strongly Republican district.
Fifteenth There was a terrific primary
fight in both of the olst parties in this dis
trict. Tha nominees are Edward J. King,
an avowed "standpat" Republican, and Ed
ward P. Allen, Democrat. Local condiltons
make the district decidedly doubtful. w4th
the chances slightly favorable to King.
Sixteenth This, the Peoria district, is the
hotbed of a light between the present Dem
ocratic Representative, Claude U. Stone, of
Peoria, and George A. Zeller, Republican, of
Peoria, Zeller is now supposed to have the
better chance.
Seventeenth Representative Fltzhenry, of
Bloomlngton. Democrat, is scheduled for de
feat at the hands of eA-Representative Ster
ling. Republican,- of MIoomlngton.
Ex-Speaker Cannon Likely to Win.
Eighteenth Ex-Speaker Cannon probably
will be elected from the Danville district.
The present Democratic member, Frank T.
O'Hair, who defeated Uncle Joe In 1812, is
not so strong as he was then witn his own
party, due largely to patronage squabbles,
and the Progressive strength is not nearly
up to the 1913 mark.
Twenty-second Ex-representative Roden
berg. Republican. Is expected to be back in
Congress from his district.
Twenty-fourth Representative H. Robert
FoRr, of Elizebethtown. Democrat, Is in I
danger of defeat from Thomas S. Williams,
nepuoiican. or ioulsvine.
Tweoty-tlf tn Re-election of Repressatm
tlve Hill, Democrat, of Brlon. is dependent
largely on the Progressive strength. The
district Is normally Republican snd the Re
publican candidate. Everltt E. Denlson, of
Marlon, Is mtrong candidate.
In Indiana the Republicans "stand a
fair chance of carrying the First,.
Sixth and Tenth Districts, and an out
side chance of winning the Second,
Fifth. Seventh and Ninth. However,
unless the soreness over the business
depression is deep in the industrial
centers and unless the Progressives
lose in the neighborhood of half their
vote, the Democrats stand now to elect
Lat least 11 of their 13 Congressional
WAiruiunieB.
. The Democrats are handicapped in
several districts by local troubles taau
will affect the Congressional tickets.
The outlook now is that Represents,
tives Cox, Dixon, Adair and Cline,
Democrats, will be elected. Other dis
tricts are doubtful.
Cammini Will Be Re-Elected. -
United States Senator Cummins, Re
publican, will be re-elected In Iowa.
His election is conceded by the Demo
crats, whose, candidate is Representa
tive Connolly. The Progressive nomi
nee Is Caspar Schenck..Tne Progressive
vote will not be sufficiently large. It is
believed, to cause the defeat of Senator
Cummins. The Congressional contests
are likely to result as follows:
First Re-election of Representative
Charles A. Kennedy, Republion, Is con
ceded. Second The chanees favor the election of
Harry E. Hull, Republican.
Third Buxton E. Sweet, Republican, Is
the probable winner.
Fourth Representative Haugen. Repub
lican, will be re-elected.
Fifth Repr3sentauve Good, of Cedar
Rapids, has no dangerous opposition.
Sixth The Republican nominee is C. W.
Ramseyer, who has much the best chance
to win.
Seventh Casslns C. Dowell, Republican,
is without substantial opposition.
Eighth Representative Towner, Republi
can, win win.
Ninth Representative Green. Republican,
Is admitted to have a walkover.
Tenth Representative Woods, Republi
can, has trouble but not much that will be
serious.
Eleventh Representative Scott, Republi
can, will have no trouble in being: re
elected. After the coming election Kansas
probably will be listed as Democratic
with more or less Progressive tenden
cies. The Democrats now have five
Representatives, the Republicans two
and the Progressives one. D. R. An
thony, Republican, in the First Dis
trict, has a hard Jight. ' Chapman,
Democrat, may win. J. I Brady, Pro
gressive, is expected to replace a
Democrat in the Second. P. P. Camp
bell, Republican, will win in the third.
N. D. Welty, Progressive, may win in
the Fourth. W. A. Calderhead, Re
publican, for 20 years in Congress, has
a chance in the Fifth. The Sixth will
return Representative Connelly, Demo
crat. The Progressives expected to
gain a scat in the Seventh District
with O. W. Dawson. The Progressives
are practically certain to carry the
Eighth. "Victor Murdock's district, with
C. L. Davidson.
Republicans Recede in Kentucky.
There is no likelihood of a decrease
In the Democratic membership in the
House from Kentucky. If there is any
change in the present representation
from the state it will be a Republican
loss. This Is particularly true in the
Eleventh District, where the sentiment
of the iDemocrats and Progressives is
for anything to prevent the re-election
of Caleb Powers, Republican, of Bar
bourville, and if they carry this to the
extent of a fusion in support of either
Nat B. 'Sewell, Democrat, of London,
or J. A. Creech, Progressive, of Harlan,
or should these two agree to get out
of the way for John Henry Wilson,
Progressive, of Barbourville, as an in
dependent candidate, Powers" political
star will set
-In Louisiana the Republicans are
counting on electing two out of the
eight Representatives because of tariff
influences. Improved' Democratic
chances principally du to the personal
popularity of President Wilson, how
ever, point to the election of the solid
Democratic delegation.
The Maine delegation, already elect
ed. Is composed of three Republicans
as at present.
Republicans in Maryland have a fair
chance of breaking into the solid
delegation of six Democrats in the
House of Representatives by electing
two of their party this year. Their
strongest chances are in the Fifth and
Sixth districts, where the Republican
majorities are large when the vote is
normal. In the Sixth district,- David J.
Lewis, author of the parcel post act, is
struggling against considerable odds
in his fight against Frederick N. Zihl
man, the Republican nominee. Zihl'
man Is personally popular. It Is admit
ted that Sydney E. Mudd. Republican
nominee in the Fifth district, has more
than an even chance of winning.
Republicans Gain in Bay State.
The Massachusetts delegation in the
next House, now ecuaTly divided be
tween the two parties, will contain one
or two more Republicans than Demo
crats. The raising of the prohibition
Issue by the Progressives and Indus
trial conditions has helped the Re
publicans. The fight in New Mexico is between
the Democrats and Progressives, with
the liquor question as the main Issue.
Both the old parties dodged the issue
in their platforms, while the Progres
sives are waging a vigorous campaign
for local option- and will poll the full
Prohibition vote In addition to their
own. However, the outlook scorns to
favor the re-election of Fergueeon,"
Democrat.
Michigan is expected to send 12 Re
publicans and one Democrat. The Dem-l
ocrat probably will be Representative
Beakes, in the Second district.

In Kansas the Progressives are expected to gain 2 seats,
tin West Virginia tha Democrats are expected to gain 1 seat.
tNet Republican gain. 53 seats.
Note If the Republicans should carry all the doubtful seats In this reckoning
the Democrats would still retain control over the House by a plurality of 28 over
the Republicans alone, and a majority of 15 over Republicans and Progressives
together.
Minnesota is listed as Republican In
all 10 districts.
Mississippi will be all Democratic
The Republicans have a fighting
chance to gain three Representatives
from Missouri. The Progressives and
the Socialists have a complete Con
gressional ticket, but the vote for
them will be negligible except in the
Tenth district, which is the brewery
district of St. Louis.
Progressives Hart Republicans.
There will be no change in the dele
gation from Montana. Stout and
Evans, Democrats, will be returned.
The differences between the Repub
licans and Progressives are just as
acute as ever, otherwise the result
might be different
Indications in Nebraska point to the
election of three Democrats and two
Republicans with the result of the
other district now represented by a
Republican in doubt. In the first -district,
where the religious issue has
been raised, McGuire, the Democratic
candidate, seemed destined to defeat
until the Progressive party nominated
a candidate to draw from the Repub
lican cancuuate.
Indications point to the election of
Cyrus A. Sulloway, in the First dis
trict, and Edward S. Wasson, In the
Second district- Both are Republicans.
Of the 12 Representatives to be elect
ed in New Jersey five dolstricts will
likely go Republican and at least seven
Democratic The Democratic Represen
tatives who sought renomination were
all successful at the primaries. Vhis
is taken generally as an indication
that the next New Jersey delegation
to Congress will have a majority of
Democrats, who will support President
Wilson's policies.
Republicans Gaining; In New York.
Combinations between Republicans
and Progressives in several New . York
Congressional districts, trade conditions
and more effective organization among
the straight goods Republicans, point
to an Increase of the Republican rep
resentation in the next House of Rep
resentatives. The present delegation consists of 30
Democrats, 12 Republicans and one?
Progressive. Five Democrats, who now
represent districts which are normally
Republican, owe their success to the
raid made by Colonel Roosevelt two
years ago. which from present indica
tions he will not be able to duplica?.
In seven Greater New York districts
the regular Republicans and the Pro
gressives have fused on Congressional,
State Senate, and other candidates,
with chances favoring their carrying
at least three Congress districts now
represented by Democrats.
There is reason to believe that the
Republicans will elect at least 20 of
the new delegation, and perhaps 23.
Representative Roberts. Republican,
will win in Nevada.
North Carolina will be solidly Dem
ocratic North Dakota Is expected to elect
three Republicans.
Since the last electton there has been
a general gerrymander of Ohio for
Congressional purposes, the bill abol
ishing the Representative-at-Large anr
changing the lines of all save two
of the 22 districts. 'The Progressives,
whose strength has undoubtedly waned,
now have candidates In every district.
There Is also added the complication of
the submission of a state-wide prohibi
tion amendment to the constitution,
which affects all candidates and prom
ises to be the leading issue In the state.
It Is reported that 13 Democrats and
three Republicans will win. Five dis
tricts are doubtful.
Barring certain contingencies unfa
vorable to the Democrats tn the First.
Second and Fifth districts, the seven
Democrats and one Republican now in
office will be returned as Representa
tives In Congress from Oklahoma.
That success in the contest for United
States Senator from Oregon this year
lies between Robert A. Booth, of Lane
County, Republican, and George E.
Chamberlain, Democratic incumbent, is
generally conceded. William Hanley.
of Harney County, Progressive nomi
nee, is not seriously regarded by either
of the old parties.
As between Booth and Chamberlain
the issue is hard to predict. Supporters
of each profess the utmost confidence.
Because Oregon is normally a Repub
lican state by a heavy majority and
because the Democrats are accused of
having plunged the country Into hard
times. Booth's suppbrters declare he
will win. Offsetting this Is Chamber
Iain's strong personal following and
his unbroken strinf of victories in his
campaign for Governor and then for
Senator, extending over 12 years.
In the First Congressional District
It Is conceded that W. C. Hawley, Re
publican incumbent, of Marion County,
will be re-elected. His district is
overwhelmingly Republican and he has
no opposition within the party.
In the Second District N. J. Sinnott,
Republican incumbent, of Wasco Coun
ty, will undoubtedly be re-elected.
In the Third District, comprising
Multnomah County, C N. McArthur.
Republican nominee, is considered a
most likely winner.
Pennsylvania Votes Divided.
In Pennsylvania the Democrats say
the division of the protective tariff
vote between the Republicans and the
Washingtons will result In the elec
tion of the four Democratic candi
dates for Repre8entative-at-Iarge. They
are Robert S. Bright, ot Philadelphia;
Martin J. Caton. of Pittsburg: Arthur
B. Clark, of Altoona and Charles N.
Crosby, of Llnesville. None of them
has been known in state politics un
til this year.
In the Congressional districts indi
cations point to the election of 10 Re
publicans, 12 Democrats, one Washing
ton party candidate and John M. Morin,
who Is the Democratic, Washington.
Republican, Bull Moose and Personal
Liberty candidate. Seven districts are
listed as doubtfuL
The Republicans will gain one and
perhaps two districts in Rhode Island.
Stinness and Kennedy, Republicans, la
the Second and Third districts, are
certain of election, while Burehard,
Republican. In the First has a chance
to beat O'Shaunessey, the Democratic
Carolina will be Democratic.
South Dakota probably will elect
three Republicans.
From present Indications It is highly
probably that the old Congressional
lineup of 10 Representatives from Ten
nessee will repeat the feat of Novem
ber of 1912 and each one be returned
to Congress from his respective dis
trict, making the delegation remain as
It has been for years, eight Democrats
and two Republicans.
Texas will be Democratic.
Smoot Likely to Be Beaten.
Complete' reversal appears to be
pending. In "Utah's representation in
both houses of Congress a sa result of
a fusion between the Democrats and
Progressives. Senator Smoot seems
destined to defeat by J. H. Moyle. and
if that happens he will carry down the
whole ticket, including the two Repre
sentatives, as Smoot is the issue. The
fusion was arranged by giving the
nomination for Senator to a Democrat,
while the Progressives took both Rep-resentatives-at-Large.
The Republic
ans are well united, but the odds at
present slightly favor the opposition.
Vermont is expected to elect two
Republicans. 1
Virginia will elect nine Democrats
and one Republican.
Washington is normally a Repub
lican stronghold, although two years
ago it went for Roosevelt overwhelm
ingly as the result of a split in the
Republican ranks. The result of the
last primaries shows this feud almost
completely healed.
Wesley L. Jones, present Republican
Senator, Is the probable winner over
W. W. Black, Democrat, and Ole Han
son, Progressive.
William E. Humphrey, Republican
Incumbent in the First district, served
12 years in Congress. He is expected
to defeat William Hickman Moore,
Democrat, and Austin E. Griffiths,
upon whom radicals are centering
strength.
In the Second district, Lin H. Had
ley. Republican, leads Earl Husted,
Democrat, and Jack E. Campbell, Pro
gressive. Third District Congressman Albert
Johnson, Republican, is the probable
winner over Stanton Warburton, Ta
