The election has been hard fought in the pivotal states, with the chief thought among the political leaders of pre- paring the stage for the presidential contest in 1924, Reports received at the national headquarters of the two major politi- cal parties show a marked apathy in many parts of the country. Senti- ment is not so frankly expresved by the voters this year and the result is that definite forecasts are difficult. Republican leaders assert that the party will control the next house, but by a greatly reduced majority, which is estimated at 30 to 40. The demo- cratic managers are not confident of carrying the house, but think that the reaction against republican policies may be strong enough to give them a majority or leave the republicans only a nominal lead, with the radical blog dominating the legislative situation. Views of Campaign Chairmen. John T. Adams, chairman of the republican national committee, in a formal ‘forecast says: “The republican majority in the present senate is 24. . This' majority will be increased as the result of the election Tuesday. “The republican majofity in the next house will be that of a normal republican year. In 1918 the repub- licans won a notable victory, as the result of which they controlled the house by a majority of 41. “The fact ihat both branches of the next congross will be controllea by republican 15 a gvarantee that the acxt two years wi'l witnuss the vigor- cus prosecution of the prograw of recenstruction and public ecoronyy which the present administration with the co-operation of the present cou- pgress has so well begun.” Cordell Hull, chairman of the dem- ocratic national committee, whiis not giving figures, expresses confidance of a democratic vietory, saying: “For obvious reasons the congriw- sioual districts, wkich the democruls cxpect to carry and the states which wilt return dsmocraiic senators can- not be named, but fhis much can be toid: the trend away trom the repub- lican party at the bheginning of the campaign later set in definitely to- ward the democratic party, indicating that a democratic victory, which was cerfain in the beginnirg, will now be larger than was anticipated. “The people voled the republican farty into power because they wante o change; they arc going to vote them out of power as far as it is possible 10 do g0 becaus: they want to charge back. The nation-wide revolt against the republican party is not only 4 protest against the record of the re- Hublican congi.s3 and the repubiican administration, hut it represents a de- sire to return to Jvimocratic policies under which che pecyle had equitable laration, a low tariff without tint of ceiruption, ‘and economical expend’- tures of publ*s money, with resyltant prosperity. I'ne democratic vietory on fuesday will be the fust step toward the democratic mospcrity they en- icsed for eigul years under the last democratic a.ministration. “Tn every scelion of the country the democrats arc corfident, while the fewling among the reactionary repub- licans {8 panicky. The democrats feel secure in their position, while tna republicans are still looking for a plice to park.
