The last serious eruption of Mount Vesuvius occured in the spring of 1906. Several villages were destroyed and the property l$ss was estimated at $20,000,000.

Th f.ic' t'at tWrty-on- state-; will elect s-.'tiators makes the contfts Ttiesdav the reil inaguralio-i of new de parture in government . A carefi'.! analyst- of t'"i' filiations in the different states vwi ild seem to indicate that the present Demo crat' majority of five in the Senate is a safe one, as there arc only seven states outside of the "Solid South" where present Democratic seats are being defended. In the house 218 members are necessary for a major ity. The present Democratic stand ing is 285, 'Republican 122, Progressive-Republican 2, Progressive 19, In dependent 1 and vacancies 6, which seats were last occupied by Demo crats. To change the political complex ion of the house opposition parties must maintain their present strength and win 68 additional seats. Governors are to be elected in 29 states and some of the campaigns notablv those in New York, California and Pennsylvania, have been waged with much bitterness. Fight to Control House Efforts of the Democrats to retain control of the lower house of congress and of their opponents to wrest it from them have called forth the full strength of all parties. President Wil son has made no speaking tours, but has written many letters of endorse ment. Most of the members of the cabinet have spent much of the last fortnight in campaigning. The lead ing men of the Republican and Pro gressive narties, with the noteworthy exception of Ex-President Taft, have been similarly engaged. The Democratic party has fifty three seats in the Senate as against forty-two for the Republicans and one for the Progressives. Senatorial elections will be held in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Car olina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Caro lina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. Elimin ating the "solid South" there arc only seven states in which inroads can pos sibly be made in the Democratic ma jority, so that unles that party so ltd lose in all but one of these states it will retain control of the Senate. The states are Colorado, Indiana, Okla homa, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada and Oregon. Governors to be Elected Governors will be elected in Ala bama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, - Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp shire, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhod Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wyoming and Wisconsin. Democratic governors were elected in Arkansas and Maine; in September; The campaign has been the quietest of years. , M The quietude of the campaign is at tributed largely to the European war, which has usurped in popular disr ia sion and the newspapers the place us ually given to politics. ; . ; v ; ' ;: Notwithstanding the' increasJtP cf- , Continued on Page 8 , W GOVERNORS
