A New York World canvass predicts returning figures like Uncle Joe Cannon and W. B. McKinley will help presidential party victory across multiple states. Senator Penrose and other well-known names may fade as the map shifts.
Special to The Washington Post from New York on October 24 reports a forecast by The New York World based on a national canvass. It predicts 32 Senate seats in play, a Democratic House majority, and Republican gains in the lower chamber, with specific mentions of Broussard in Louisiana and potential shifts in New York, Connecticut, Utah, Illinois, Idaho, and Georgia. The piece outlines expected party distributions and district turnovers across the 64th Congress.
The list shows Democratic and Republican candidates across states including Nevada Newland and Gallinger in New Hampshire, Root and Burton in Ohio, Gore in Oklahoma, Chamberlain in Oregon, Penrose in Pennsylvania, Smith in North Carolina, Reed Smoot in Utah, Dugingham in Vermont, Jones in Washington, Stephenson in Wisconsin, with a near balance of Democratic and Republican picks and 146 Republicans versus Democrats noted.
Tariff backlash dents Democratic ranks as candidates fight hard to win reelection from the Twelfth District. The contest remains uncertain with rivals facing tough campaigning and wary voters. Strong opponents aim to capitalize on tariff impact and party tensions.
Wagers in New York center on the gubernatorial race with Glynn and Whitman leading. Bets on other contests show little money, while Gerard, Wadworth, and Decker face mixed interest. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth districts hover in tight races amid tariff and patronage tensions.
Special to The Washington Poet reports Missouri prediction signals even money on a Stone victory by about 50,000, with Akins and Clark leading contention. Analysts project Stone’s majority around 25,000 to 35,000, while 7 of 16 districts show hard fights led by Democrats in seven districts and Republicans in nine. Key contests include Seventh, Tenth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth districts with close expected results and party dynamics shaping the outcome.
A detailed forecast predicts Democrats will win a slim House majority by sweeping ten states and gaining several districts now held by Republicans, with the GOP losing ground as Progressives fall back. Prohibition and religious issues figure in several campaigns, while old leaders like Cannon and McKinley may return to seats. Senate changes foresee Underwood in Alabama and Penrose in Pennsylvania, with mixed outcomes in Utah, Nebraska, Maryland, and Georgia.
A vintage ad urges coverage of cold symptoms with Pape's Cold Compound. It claims rapid relief from nasal congestion discharge and headache after two hours with doses every two hours, noting inexpensive price and pleasant taste while warning against substitutes.
Indiana politics as Democratic chances rise with Beveridge challenging Shively for the Senate. Progressives doubt Roosevelt’s loyalty, while steel men in Gary shift to the Republicans, suggesting Miller may edge Shively. GOP gains loom in Gary and Lafayette regions.
An old ad touts Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound to darken gray hair naturally. It claims few applications restore color, improve gloss, and eliminate dandruff and scalp itch. The homebrew mix is warned against, while store bought tonic costs about 69 cents.
The Albany to Buffalo campaign scene tightens as Gov. Glynn and Whitman push upstate efforts with trains and speeches. Glynn leads in city totals while Whitman targets upstate gains. Roosevelt’s touring helps Glynn while Sulzer’s independent bid grows. Both camps warn against optimistic returns and stress local turnout, with final statewide results hovering at hand.
Democratic leaders push unity to back the President with a united party and country by electing Democrats to state and federal offices. Hennessy backs Whitman while Glynn loyalists linger, McAdoo urges honoring primary results, and Wadsworth Gerard duel forms a crowded Senate scene as Sulzer leads Davenport in governor polls.
