Law Passed Authorizing Obregon to Raise Money on Lands. KICO CITY, October 31.—Presi- dent Obregon has been authorized by Congress to alienate sufficient na- tional properties.to obtain money for the payment of salaries due the gov- crnment employes, which arrears have heretofore been covered with bonds. The measure was passed because of the President’s desire to pay the gov- ernmental employes before he leaves oftice. the ERPORCS S Sy Revue Rehearsal Delayed.

IN NEW HOUSE SEEMS SURE (Continued from First Page.) greater extent even tnan today. In the present Congress the last session showed 206 Democrats, 1 Independ- ent, 1 Farmer-Laborite, 1 Social- ist, 1 vacancy and 225 Republicans of whom a dozen or more have acted under the leadership of Representa- tive John M. Nelson of Wisconsin, National manager of the La“Follette campaign, to prevent the Republicans from actually controlling the House. Those were the figures when Con- gress adjourned. Death and resigna- tion have added somewhat to the vacancies since that time. The Progressives are intent upon developing their strength in Con- gress, thinking especially of the fu- when they hope to establish a new Liberal party. They are anxious to join forces with the more liberal members of the Democratic party in the House—in fact, to absorb the Democrats into their movement wherever they can do so. Organized labor, through the American Federa- tion of Labor and the railroad brotherhoods, which is also backing the Progessive national ticket, is seeking to bring about the election of members of the House who may be expected to be particularly friendly to labor, and who might be con- sidered members of the so-called Pro- gressive group in the House. Labor has indorsed in one way or another some 214 of the candidates running on the Democratic ticket in many dif- ferent states: 42 of the Republican candidates, including the 10 from Wisconsin, and about 22 Farmer- Labor, Socialist and independent can- didate Coming Klection Important. The coming elections in at least two of the States may have an im- portant bearing on the situation in the House should none of the presi dential candidates receive a majori of the electoral votes, and the choice of a FPresident devolve upon Congre: | When Congress adjourned last June | the Republicans had majorities in 23 | of the State delegations; the Demo s in , and they were evenly divided in five State delegations. Among the last was Maryland. Since adjournment, Sidney Mudd of Mary- land has died, and George M. Young of North Dakota has resigned to ac- cept a judzeship in the United States | Court of Customs Appeals. In North DaKota the delegation stood, two Re- publicans to one La Follette sup- porter. ould the Republicans fail to elect successors to Mudd and Young, then the Republican candi- date for President could expect to ! receive one less vote in the House| and to have two more votes cast in opposition. The Republicans are hope- ful of electi Republicans in the dis- | tricts mentioned, but feel more sure of success in North Dakota than in Mgryland. Former D, C. Man Running, In Iilinois one of the candidates for | election Representative at Largey icket is Allen D. a resident of where he! g editor of | Albert is now a| resident of Paris, Ill, He is a farm- er. He has aciively campaigned in 190 counties and is still hard at it. He has not forgotten the District of Co- | a, and in his speeches up and down the State he declares that if | elected one of the objects for which ihe will contend as a member of the House is fair and adequate treatment | by the Federal Government of the ational Capital. | In lllinois the Republicans are ex- pected to hold the 20 districts they {now have, and they have a fighting | chance—perhaps more than that— 1 districts of increasing their| p on the State delegation. The | best chances for gains seem to be in the sixth, twentieth, twenty-first and | | twenty-third “districts. In California |and Colorado little change. if any, is | expected in the political make-up of the congressional delegations. In Connecticut and Delaware the Repub- licans may gain one each, depending largely on how strongly the national | ticket runs in those States. vears of Colum one time m paper. Mr. May Lose in lowa. Tn Towa the Republicans may lose the second district, where Judge F. D. Letts is the nominee in the place of Representative Harry Hull. Judge | Letts is holding on to his judgeship, which is militating somewhat against him. Kansas probably will return seven Republicans and one Demo- crat, though former Senator Chester I Long is seeking to replace W. A. Ayres, the single Democrat in the House from the Sunflower State. Massachusetts Republicans are not offering four of the veterans of the House for re-election, Speaker Gillett and Representatives Paige, Winslow and Dallinger. Mr. Gillett is a can- didate .for the Senate against Sena- tor Walsh and Mr. Dallinger was de- | feated in the senatorial primaries by | Mr. Gillett. The other two were not candidates to succeed themselves. The Massachusetts delegation now stands 13 Republicans and 3 Demo- crats. Desperate efforts are being made to add the seventh congres- sional district to the Republican fold. In that district Charles A. Littlefield, Republican, is running against Rep- resentative Connoy, Democrat. Repbrts from New Jersey indicate that the Republicans will hold thetr own in the congressional delegation. The State delegation is now divided evenly, six Republicans with six Dem- ocrats. In New York two years ago the Democrats “cleaned,” winning 22 of the district to 21 for the Repub- licans. If Coolidge runs well, it may be that the Republicans will pick up four or five seats in the Empire State. Up State, for example, they have a chance to win in the Albany and Rochester districts, it is said. Penn- sylvania is regarded as another field for Republican gains. The Demo- crats now have six seats from that State. The Republicans believe they can win three of them. Chances for Gains. Some of the other States in which Republican gains may be made are New Hampshire, 1; Oregon, 1; Rhode Island, 1; and West Virginia, 1. Wisconsin will send back to the House the same kind of a delegation, strongly supporting the Progressives, with John M. Nelson as their leader. Victor Berger, Socialist, it is expected, will be returned. The Minnesota line- up is not expected to change greatly though Representative Knutson, Re- publican, has a hard fight on his hands to come back. Down in Tennessee, Mary Giles Howard, the Republican national committee woman, is making a fight for election to represent the third district, but -probably will not win. The Republicans have two districts in that Stdte, the first and second, and.probably will retain them. In Texas, the Republicans have a lone representative, Harry M. Wurz- bach. They can hope for no more in the next Congress. The Democrats hold_eight seats in Kentucky and the Republicans three, one of them being that of John W. Langley, con- victed in an alleged liquor conspir- acy. Mr. Langley is seeking re- election. The Republicans can' hope for no increases in this State, and the Demo- crats are striving to cut down the oppositions' representation. 014 Figures Expected Back. Familiar figures on ‘both sides of the House ! expected to be returned, including Representative Longworth of Ohio, Republican leader, and Martin Madden of IlHnois, chairman of the appropriations committee, and Finis J. Garrett and Cordell Hull, both_of Tennessee. Mr. Garrett is Democratic leader-of the-House ' (Congress. At present, his occupancy THE. EVENING and Mr. Hull was formerly chairman of the Democratic committee. The proposition has been advenced frequently that even should Presi- dent Coolidge be elected, he would have a recalcitrant Congress on his hand: But the President, with an election by the people back of him, particu- larly if he wins a substantial vic- tory, will have considerably weight with 'of the White House is due to succe: sion because of the death of President Harding. Some of the questions on which Congress took issue with him during the last session were matters on which the members had themselves to their constituents fore Mr. Coolidge became Presid. as in the case of the soldiers’ bonu That is the question that has bee Qdisposed of, it seems, though there still agitation in some quarters for a cash bonus. The Japanese exclusion question over which there was some difference between the administra- tion and the Congress, also has been determined. The presidential veto of the Bursom bill, increasing the pen- sions of the old soldiers, and of the postad employes increased pay bill, and the Mellon tax plan are issues be- tween the Congress and the President that may again raise their heads. A President with the country behind him, indicated by a vote of the people recently taken, is @ dangerous per- | sonage for a representative to flout, if he happens to belong to the same po- litical party. -~ NAVY SALE OPENS.
