FIGHT IS ON FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON* GENERALLY BE I .IK VES THAT Ht'GHKR HAS KEEN BEATEN IN BACK. KAY LOSE THE HOUSE lit limed That Republicans j Have Ex cellent Chtince for Gaining Control of Affairs in the House of Repre sentatives. Senate for IK.*inorratM. (By Parker R. Amlerson) Washington, Oct. SI.?Democrat* n Washington today are: confident that President Wilson will be re elected by an overwhelming major ity. Chairman Doremua. of the Con gressional campaign committee, and Col. Robert Newman (Savoyard) are confident that not only will Mr. Wil son be given another four years in the White House, hut that the house and senate will be Democratic by an increased majority. There in no doubt'that the present outlook points to victory for Mr. Wilson. But so far as the house is concerned, there is little. If any. rea son to believe that it will be Demo cratic. Every report so far received in Washington Indicate that the Re publicans are making Inroads on the Democratic majority and unless some thiug drastic is done the Republicans have an excellent chance of taking over the lower branch of Congress after March 4, 1917. But Doremus and thereat of hls polltlcal workers and advisers are not Idle. Doremus. who. by the way, is a very well Informed and Intelli gent statesman, still belleveB he will ( be able to maintain a slight major-1 Ity in the house. He Is working day and night for his party and before the present week ends he Is sure he will have convinced enough voters to the Democratic faith to carry the next house by a narrow margin. Over In the ecnate it Is safe to say the Democrats will retain their con trol. They now have a safe major ity and nothlnp nhort or a landslide for the Republicans could take the control from the Democrats. As al ready stated In these dispatches, the Republicans are making their great est fight for control of the house. They know the presidential election to all outward appearances Indicates a Wilson victory. They are there fore exerting every effort for the con trol of the house, hoping against hope to get the White House four years hence.
