Most of the political gossip has been centered upon the Democratic party, because of the evident split in its ranks and because up tn wrviir 1+ Vitie ciirh nnmnltito r>nn _ trol of the situation that the Re-, publicans have been almost a negli- 1 gible factor in Government affairs. Now, however, the Republicans are ' beginning to show some signs of life, There is enough basis for Republican hopes to lead observers at . the Capitol to believe that the party ' is actually on the way toward rejuvenation. There are few among ' those accustomed to surveying and appraising the political outlook who are not ready to concede that in, 1 the Congressional elections this Fall ] the Republicans will gain a large (] number of seats in the House now held' by Dc mocrats. There are more than 150 Democratic members whose majorities in their districts in the 1936 elections were so small J that a change of ten percent of the I total vote would have defeated them. ' The Republican Congressional Committee has been for months at work on plans to go after all of those thinlyheld Democratic seats, and its spokes- i men Express confidence that they will ' recapture many of them. Estimates ; in figures vary from fifty to 150. The latter would be enough to give the Republicans a majority in the Lower jJ House, if they held the 90 seats they now have. There are 440 Representatives so that a total of 221 is all that is needed to control, if held by one party. G. Q, P. Majority Unlikely ; Thjfci-JbeLReilblicans vvi^ be a^e to achieve that objective is nof seri- ' pusly believed by astute observers at the present time. Conditions may ( arise which will make that more ' probable than it looks now. But ? careful analysis of each district ] already makes it seem a reasonable 1 forecast that the Republicans will , gain somewhere betwen 75 and 100 ( seats, which will not give them a ( ? h,it will make them a much ] liJrtjui i u w u .. more formidable minority. And there is little doubt that with a block of even 150 votes in the House, there would be few major issues upon ' which the necessary 71 votes of dis- i gruntled Democrats could not be 1 counted upon to go along with the Republicans. ' When anyone in Washington to- 1 day speaks of "major issues" he 1 means issues or proposals in which ( the Administration is lined up against the President's antagonists in Congress. The issue is frequently not one between ,Republicans and ' Democrats but ' between President Roosevelt and his opponents, and' 'He Remembered' lour 52.00 A YEAH IN Democrats To Meet The precinct meetings of Democrats will be held at the polling places in all the several voting precincts of the county on Saturday, May 7 at 2 o'clock.
