GIRDING FOR BATTLE
With congress adjourned, republican and democratic
organizations have buckled down to the task of waging
an intensive campaign for control of the next congress.
The republican leaders fully realize the difficulties that
lie in their path, while the democrats, confident that their
fight for the senate is almost as good as won, are bending
their efforts to make gains in the house. Both parties will
go into the campaign with more effective organizations
than either has had in any election fight except in presi
dential years. The republicans have arranged to consoli
date their forces in the belief that the pooling of their re
sources will help them to retain control of the house and
perhaps of the senate. In other years the national, con
gressional and senatorial campaign committees have
worked separately. This year they will work together,
with Representatice Tilson, majority leader, directing the
consolidated speakers’ bureau, and Representative Wood,
chairman of the congressional committee, supervising
the work in the middle and far West, with headquarters
in Chicago. Mr. Tilson’s headquarters will be in New
York. Senator Butler, chairman of the national commit
tee, wilFkeep in touch with both organizations while de
voting a large part of his time to his own campaign for
election to the senate. Plans of the speakers’ bureau in
clude a wide use of the radio, many national leaders hav
ing made arrangements to “go on the air.”
The democrats will have their headquarters in Wash
ington, with Senator Gerry, chairman of the senatorial
committee, and Representative Oldfield, head of the house
campaign committee, cooperating, but maintaining sep
arate organizations. Senator Swanson, of Virginia, will
be in charge of the speaker’s bureau.
The republicans are admittedly on the defensive in
some of the states where senators are to be chosen, with
the prospect of losing several seats now held by republi
cans. Of the 34 senators to be elected, but seven are dem
ocrats and all of these are certain to be returned. Of the
remaining 27 the democrats have an even, or better
chance, of winning 10. These are in Massachusetts, Ari
zona, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Illionois, Colorado, Ne
vada, Missouri and Ohio, while in Wisconsin Senator Len
root, the regular republican nominee, is in danger of los
ing the nomination to the republican-progressive candi
date, Gov. Blaine. While the republicans have a paper
majority of 16 in the present senate,Their actual working
majority is far less. A turnover of nine senators would
give the democrats control. It is not difficult to under
stand, therefore, the anxiety of the republican leaders
as they enter upon the campaign.
