CLAIM CONTROL 0" NEXT HOUSE Both Democrats and Repnb- licans Confident. FORMER NAZE MAJORITY Expect to Have Fifty-one More Mem- bers Than the G. O. P. and Say That Number May Be Exceeded—Chair- man McKinley Confident That the Republicans Will Have a Working Majority. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Statements re- garding the control of the next house of representatives were given out by the Democratic congressional com- mittee and Chairman W. B. McKinley of the Republican congressional com- mittee. The Democratic committee believes its party will have a majority of fifty- one in the Sixty-second congress, while Mr. McKinley says he is confi- dent they will retain control by a fair working majority. The Democratic committee’s statement follows: “We believe, after a careful and con- servative estimate of the political sit- uation, that we will have a majority of fifty-one in the next house. We ar- rive at this conclusion by giving to each party the districts which we think they are reasonably certain to carry and dividing the doubtful dis- tricts equally between them. “While our gains will be most pro- nounced in the East they will not be confined to any special part of the country, as we have every reason to believe that we will make gains in every state which now has Repub- lican representation, with the possible exception of four, and we do not ex- pect to lose more than two districts that are now represented by Demo- crats. Say Victory Is Assured. “We congratulate ourselves that | the revolt against the Payne-Aldrich bill and the Republiican mismanage- ment of government has grown each day since the campaign began until now it has become so evident that a very overwhelming victory for Democ- racy is absolutely assured.” Chairman McKinley, in ment, says: “From the best reports obtainable. from candidates on the Republican ticket and others interested in Re- publican politics I am confident the Republican party will control the Six- ty-second congress by a fair working majority. The size of this majority, in fact the outcome of this election, will be determined by the percentage of the Republican voters of the coun- try who come to the polls on Nov. 8. “That the voters have taken but a slight interest in the pending political campaign is evidenced by the small vote cast at the primaries for the can- didates on the several tickets. - “This, it would seem, forecasts an extraordinarily light vote at the polls, especially in the rural districts, where the farmers are enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity.” his state- AUTHOR FLAYS ROOSEVELT Thomas Nelson Page Says Colonel Is Guilty of Treason. Washington, Nov. 7.—Official Wash- ington is aghast over the denuncia- tion of Colonel Roosevelt by Thomas Nelson Page in an address before the National Democratic league. Declaring the colonel guilty of trea- son and that he forfeited the respect of the country by his attacks upon the supreme court the novelist said: “There is no question- whatever that Theodore Roosevelt, by bitterly denouncing the supreme court, has done much to injure his prestige in the country and committed a breach which is difficult to condone. In ac- cordance with the principal signers of the Constitution when you attack the judiciary you attack the whole coun- try.” BANDITS ROB JEWELRY STORE They Hold Up Clerk in Kansas City and Escape With Goods. Kansas City, Nov. 7.—During the noon hour three bandits entered the Daniel jewelry store in the heart of the business district, overpowered a clerk, robbed the store of several hun- dred dollars’ worth of valuables and held up at the point of their guns a score or more pedestrians who at- tempted to block their escape.

ARE NOW BUYING HEAVILY Packer and His Associates Said to Have Been Short at Least Ten Mil- lion Bushels, Which They Are Able to Purchase at Present at a Drop of From Fifteen to Twenty Cents. James A. Patten Also on Bear Side. Chicago, Nov. 7.—The sharp decline in’ wheat prices the last few weeks has resulted in a big “killing” on the part of the leading bears. It is the general belief on the board of trade that A. J. Lichstern and the Armour interests have made millions on the short side of the market. They have been the big shorts and the de- cline in prices of 15 to 20 cents a 'ushel on big lines gives them paper profits of immense proportions. While the extent of their lines is not known it is the opinion of well posted traders on the floor that Lich- stern and Armour were short at least 10,000,000 bushels of wheat. This esti- mate is regarded generally as conser- vative. A 15-cent decline on this amount of wheat represents a paper profit of about $1,500,000. Recent operations in the pit indicate that these paper prof- its are being changed into cold cash. For the last three days the Armour Grain company has been a big buyer of wheat, both December and May. Buying on Large Scale. Wednesday its representatives start- ed in buying on a big scale when the December sold below 90 cents for the first time. The following day their purchases were placed at about 1,000,- 000 bushels by pit traders and Satur- day they were supposed to have bought in about 2,000,000 bushels more. Commission houses supposed to be acting for Lichstern were credited with buying several million busheis also. The speculative market has been so weak the last few days that the big shorts were enabled to cover millions of bushels without causing any big rally in prices. The longs have been forced to unload at steadily depreciating values, giving the shorts the cpportunity to realize their profits. James A. Patten, while he has not been operating heavily in the grain markets recently, has been a bear on | wheat. Other local professionals who are credited with making big killings are John Barrett, Arthur Cutten and several of the big traders operating through the Bartlett-Frazier house. JUDGE C. W.
