That, and the .size of the Republi can primary vote, over I.'{.5,(KK> more than the iK-miH-rat.s polled for all their candidates, have started Wa.*h- ingtun to talking .seriously of the |H)ssihle ri-capture of Pennsylvania by their |>arty next November, and have defniitely strengtheneil the con viction that the Republicans are cer tain to gain a large nunrher of Con gressional si-ats. Kven New Deal enthu.siasts are now conceding that there will be at least 35 more Republican mi-roibers in the lower house of the next Con gress than in the present one. That may safely be regarded as the mini mum shift. EstimaU-s of experi- encerl political observers run all the way from 35 more Republicans to| 110. The average of several polls of expert opinion is 60. That would not give a Republican majority, and even staunch Republi cans express doubts whether a ma jority would be desirable, with a Sen ate still overw’helmingly Democratic and a Democratic Administration in the M'hite House. Such a condition has obtaim-d in the pa.st, with the re sult of a complete di-adlock in all im portant matters of legislation. 1894 Situation Recalled The situation is likened here, to that which obtained in 1930, when, the Democrats gaine<l 54 seats, giv ing them a majority of the House, with ( a Republican President and Senate still in office. Every con structive effort looking toward re covery was effectively blocked by the House. Many shrewd onlookers compare the present political situation to that of 1894. Mr. Cleveland was serving his second term as President. His own Democratic party was split be tween the Conservative faction bent upon preserving the gold standard a^ bringing back recovery from the panic of 1893 by encouraging indus- NATIONAL SPECIALS!
