The Democrats and Republinans are
Fighting for the House.
DEMOCRATS FAVORED

Republicans and Help Democrats.
The most momentuous eloction
the country has seen in half a centu
t a ?.:n
rv is now in progress, u ?m mw
mine whether the Republican party,
the party of national administration
is able to keep control of the National
House of Representatives.
Democrats of political foresight are
emphatic in their claims that the
next House will be Democratic and
that the Hon. Champ Clark will be
the immediate successor of the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker.
Dissatisfaction with* the Republican-made
tariff is causing Republicans
to give their support to the
Democrats in the doubtful Congressional
districts, of which political experts
claim there are 118 in the
country. There are 391 members of
the House of Representatives. In
the present House 217 of these are
Republicans and 174 Democrats. It
le trunnrallv rnnf>r>rlf>fl fhllt a.l'?
132 districts reasonably sure for the
Republicans and 141 for the Democrats.
This leaves 118 districts doubtful
or debatable, in which the battle
> for the control of the House is now
raging with more thau the accustomed
Congressional vigor. The
Democrats feel they have a remarkable
chance 4o show their strength
in this campaign, while the Republicans,
satisfied in some sections over
the tariff are dissatisfied in others,
in some sections torn by party fights
and in other sections placidly content,
are placed absolutely on the
defensive behind breastworks not
built of solid rock.
Of the debatable districts mentioned,
82 are now held by the Republicans
and 36 by Democrats. The
fact that there are so many debatable
Republican districts, indicates
k on the surface that the Republican
io In Q norilnilfl HpffHlsivP r>f>R
ition, and that remarkable work
must be done by Republican campaign
managers in order to cave
these districts and thus save the
House for the Administration.
Political experts in figuring upon
the chances for a Democratic House
rely greatly for a base of operations
upon the three special Congressional
election held early in the year. The
first was in the Sixth Missouri distrct
for a successor to the late David
A. DeArinond. Mr. DeArmond,
Democrat, had usually carried the
district by 3,000. C. C. Dickinson
Democrat, carried the district by approximately
3.800.
The second, a pure out-and-out
tariff battle, was held in the Fourteenth
Massachusetts district, where
the late William C. Lovering, Republican,
was accustomed to polling a
majority of 14,000. Here Eugene
M. Foss, Democrat, was elected by a
majority of 5,600, overturning as
)UU a UCUJCUUUUO IlUIJIi/Ci V?I
normal Republican votrs.
The third was in the Thirty-second
New York district, where James
B. Havens, Democrat, was elected to
succeed the late .Tames B. Perkins.
Republican, whose normal majority
was more than 10,000. Mr. Havens
carried the district by a majority of
about 7,000. In this election, the
fight against the political principles
of "Boss" Aldridse, Havens
Republican opponent than against
the tariff.
These three remarkable special
elections were responsible for the
Democrats claiming in advance the
next House of Representatives. They
were remarkable, too, in showing
the moderu tendency of voters to
shift easily from one party to another.
when occasions seem to demand
vigorous party discipline. It
must be remembered, however, that
in the 82 acknowledged debatable 1
Republican districts, the contests
will not be as strenuous as they were
in the three districts mentioned
i above,
In Vermont, the Republicans show
ed their displeasure of the present
Administration by casting a very
light vote for their two representatives,
who, in order to be elected,
had to promise not to vote for Jos- ;
eph G. Cannon for Speaker. In
Maine a month ago the Democrats
won practically all along the line,
two members of Congress managing
to wiggle through in the general Re* 1
publican over'hrow.
The Democrats in 'Maine, long a 1
Republican stronghold, got the governor,
other state officers, both
branches of the legislature, and two
Congressmen. The eloction of a :
Democratic successor to Senator !
Hale is therefore assured. The action '
in these New England states naturally
filled the hearts of the Demo- '
crats throughout the country with ;
hni)c.
Even without the support of The- i
odore Roosevelt, the "insurgents" in ;
the Republican rauks had reached '
high water mark in the states of i
California. Washington, Oregon. Wis
consin. Minnesota. Iowa, and Miehi- <
gan. In every state battle had raged *
'between the two wings of the party i
and every inch of ground was con- '<

SENATE IN DANGER. O

The complex political battle of
the day does not end with the formidable
attack of the Democrats upon
the House of Representatives xiiat
The United States Senate, for years
Republican, is in danger of losing 1>C
its old-time control. The RepuLili- ^
cans have now, nominally, 26 majority,
that is a majority of 136 6en- a
ators representing Republic ia con- an v
stitucncies. ]
Howerer, among these 26 must c( e
be included from seven to 12 "in- ^em
surgent" senators, who frequently whei
vote with the Democrats. There are the
31 senators whose terms expires this
year and whose seats must be filled pogt
by the legislatures. Twenty-four of ^
these arc Republicans. Political exl c-^ti
ports think it is possible that by '
the time the new Senate is ready ..j
for organization after March 8 next N-ew
there may be enough new Democrats gQUt
and new "insurgents" in office 4o 0(<ra

Winters Getting Milder. st| V
tere
At the approach of each winter {
there is always much speculation as .
to whether or not winters are warmer ., g
than t.hey used to be. Those who tJlf>
speak feelingly of the "old-fashion- .
' fd' ' winters and those who contend
I I vou
that the winters of today are just as g.
severe as their forefathers endured '
or enjoyed, (which, is a matter of
opinion) are always on the alert to
secure data to fortify their argu- _____
ments.
Here are some facts about glaciers
that seem to support those who say
that the winters are gradually getting
milder. The glacier at Mount
Sarmiento in South America, which
descended to the sea when Darwin
discovered it in 183 6 is now seperated
from the shore by a vigorous
growth of timber. In Greenland, the
Jacobshaven glacier has retreated
four miles in the last fifty years, and
in recent years the East glacier in
Spitzbergen has receded a mile.
It is also said that in Scandinavia
the snow line is further up the uioun- MM
tians. and that the glaciers have with;n
the centum withdrawn over 3,000
feet from the lowlands. The Arapahoe
glacier in the Rocky mountains ?
is also said to be diminishing. While ^
these facts may not he conclusive
; evidence of milder winters they are 4%
certainly suggestive and the future V |
action of the glaciers will be watch- |
ed with increased intprest.
