VICTORY IS LIKELY ALL ALONG LINE DEMOCRATS DRIVING FOR ROTH HOUSES. v Strong Lead to Cox. Slight Republican Majority in The Senate May Be Overturned With Ease. ^ Just now one of the most interesting topics in national political affairs is not only the question of whether Harding or Cox will win the presidential election, but also as to the final outcome for the house and senate. mi ^ J V.-vlirtiri'T. <-r iiiwy is iiiuitJ siuuuu iui uciicTiug i that the senate will return to I the Democratic fold than there has been since it went into Republican hands two years ago. No one knows how the presidency is coming out and if there he a prophet willing to take a guess at the result he is not seen hereabouts, although, to tell the truth, from a strictly non-partisan standpoint, the odds strongly favor Cox. However much the Republican spell binders, spielers and others are going about the land decrying the Democrats and boosting their own candidate, they lose sight of the fact that from his record, and it is the record of any man that tells the story of his life, Harding is the weakest man the Republicans have put up in the last 50 years, or since there was a Republican party, for that matter. What Record Tells. Those interested in strictly sticking to the official records will be inlightened if they will see what Harding's stand was on national prohibition, prohibition as a war measure, preparedness for war, the sale of libf erty bonds and kindred matters. Further, it should 'be remembered that some decidedly interesting reading may be found regarding the bravery Amprinnn soldiers at the very U1 tUV i.JLUA\/A AVWX. moment when they were going to war if Harding's record is scanned. Indications are that so far as the senate is concerned, that body may and very likely will 'swing back into the Democratic column. There are many reasons to support this assertion. It should be remembered that at this time the Republican majority in the senate is of the slimmest kind, only two more Republicans than there are Democrats. Therefore, almost any kind of change, for instance, if Sen. ator Smoot of Utah should be defeated, and there are reasons to be believed he will be, and Watson of Indiana should also go into the discard, that would only leave one more change from the Republican to the Democratic column to put the matter over. Seriously, there are evidences that there will be four or five such changes this year. Senator Wadsworth of New York is another Republican slated to hit the toboggan. He has taken a stand against suffrage whuch has caused him to make many enemies in his state. Mrs.v Wadsworth is one of the most pronounced anti-suffrage women in the entire country, and naturally, the New York senator and Mrs. waaswortn nave mougnt ana actea alike on this matter. That Wadsworth is scheduled to go this year, along with others from the G. O. P. line-up, is no secret here. In fact, it seems to he the opinion of the senator himself that he is to have his official head chopped off. Reports from the East are also that there are still other changes to come about which, figuring accurately, should permit the Democrats to overcome the present lead of two which the Republicans have on them and possibly pick one or two other seats. The house situation permits of the belief that not only will the present Republican majority be overcome, but that it will be entirely wiped out. Why? Republic3!^ Divided. Any one who has kept track of legislative affairs in the house since the Republicans secured control can not JUL^iy seeing tlio. 1/ tJJiiO ksi &am^a uvu xo badly split. Take the situation, for example, when the soldier bonus bill was up for consideration. "Jim" Mann of Illinois, one of the real old timers in the G. 0. P. line-up but a man who will not always do what his party wants him to do "when he knows it is wrong, broke completely out of the reservation and said that the rule which the Republicans were attempting to pass in order to get the bonus bill through, not giving the Democrats their rights in the matter, was "outrageous." He protested against this form of "gag" rule and it was not the first time he has done so. Almost every day, under the Mondell leadership, it is necessary for this leader to send for Mr. Mann to help him out of a bad parliamentary situation. The present Republican house is further from being a solid body than it has been since the time when "Uncle Joe" Cannon was lifted from the speaker's chair because the house rose in mutiny at his arbitrary and autocratic management. Before that time there was solid harmony, but the Republicans have never been exactly the same since. All the big tales that the Republican candidates are telling concerning their wonderful achievements are being discounted by the voters. You might fool them once, but not now. It looks like a Democrat's victory all along the line.?P. H. McGowan, in Washington disDatch. mm imt Just received, shipment of American Wire Fence. See me at once if you need fencing. G. 0. SIMMONS.
