(Washington Buresu of N. B Washington, Aug. 21 —This week marks the real opening of the struggle between republicans and democrats for control of the senate and house. It is the real start of the congressional campaign which from now until November will hot In a majority of th Headquarters of the republican senatorial campaign committee and campaign com- > are to be opened this week n New York and Chicago. These committees have offices in Washing- and are co-operating national com- mittee, of which Senator Butler of right hand man of President Coolidge, is cha republican mational committee h headquarters in Washington the year around, as does also the demo- cratic natfonal committee. While the republican committees are bestirring thems, the dem- ocratic national committee, the sen- atorlal committee and the congres- sional committee, are also getting | down to business. Represcntative Oldfield of Arkansas, chairman of the congressional committee, has for | months been active in preparation for the battle of this summer and fall. Already, tons of campaign liter- ature have been sent out by sides or prepared for The preliminary work of organizing has been started in many states and congressional districts. Once the | hot season is about over and vaca- tions ended, hundreds of speakers will be sent out under direction of both the republican and democratic committees and the country will be swept through the months of Sep- tember, October and early November with endless broadsides of campaign oratory. The congressional campaign this vear is recognized by the leaders of both parties as one of exceptional importance. The republicans now have the presidency and both houses of congress, President Coolidge, for the latter part of his administration wants the backing of a republican congress, without which his recom- mendations as to legislation will have little weight. While the re- publicans will fight to keep the mas- tery o# senate and house, the demo- crats will endeavor to wrest from them the control of both houses. If the democrats get control of both houses, or even of the senate or the house, they will be in position either Allemld\ io! to block legislation or to dictate the | form of legislation during the last hal? of Mr. Coolidge's present term. Capture of the control of Congress by the democrats would be regarded | by republican chiefs as handicapping | the republicans in their efforts to in the presidential | campaign of 19 On the other hand, the democrats would look on a victory this fall as enabling them to pave the way to ciccting a demo- cratic president and Congress two years hence. For one thing, if the democrats carry the next Congress they will doubtless set on foot a number of investgations by committee of the House and Senate, digging up material which will be hurtful to the republicans. This is a method of procedure well-known to the political strategists of both parties. Such investigations at time: in the past have proven intensely embarrassing to the party against which they were directed. Impartial observers of the situa- tion take the view that the outcome of the campaign is highly doubtful. ‘While it will take a big political up- set for the democrats to get control of House and Senate, their leaders insist they are going to do it. In any event, everybody recognized that the contest over the Senate is be | rman. The | both | distribution. | with a view to | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926.

This is explained by some smokers as a reflection on the defective manner that the state turns out its cigarettes, but it also is greatly due to the economy a smoker finds in rolling his own cigarrettes. The commercialization of trade in the tobacco France which the Poincare govern- ment is introducing will no doubt try to change this state of affairs and bring France into line with other countries where the num- ber of made cigarettes sold is at least double that hand-made.

The would-be Shakespeare insists that the turmoil of a lar; y is not conductive to the mental concentration necessary for writ- ing a drama such as he has in mind. e therefore wants to try the restful at- mosphere of a prison or an insane asylum, and threatens to commit some offense punish- able by imprisonment if the authorities will not consign him voluntaril 608 LIVING DESCE¥DANTS There are 608 living descendants of Martin Luther.
