DEMOCRATS ARE
VERY JUBILANT
Washington, I). C., February 5.—
The Democrats are Jubilant over
the news fruui the Sixth Missouri dis
trict that the majority given to the
successor to the late Represent at I vu
De Armond was elected by a majority
of about IS votes In excess of that
Riven De Armond at the time he
made the race In the campaign when
Roosevelt was elected President In
J94I. The Republicans are convlnc-
that much work Is necessary In
Misrouri and the Middle Weal If the
party Is to be successful In the com
ing congressional election.
To chew or eschew Isef. that's the
quertfun. We have cnrluded to
ch&w when conditions are favorable.
The teat for census enumerators
throughout the laad takes place to
day. The teat fur Ware county was
held at the high arhol building today,
commencing at one o'clock.

It la expected that a lively fight
will develop In the senate on Terri

an almost unanimous majority, thill
be reported favorably to the ftenate.
Hens tor Beverage, the chairman
this committee, was for a long time
opposed to allowing the two territo
ries to come Into the Union separ
ately. n was be who directed the op
position to the groat winning fight
made a few years sgo by Heuator
Foraker of Ohio. It Is likely (list
the condition* of entering the Union
will be hiade more difficult than It
the House bill.
No matter how nmeh np|M>s|tlon de
velops In the hearings, however. U»*r«
Is no doubt of the final passage of the
bill through the senate before the
enl of the session, for the reason that
both parties |n their last national
platforms made emphatic declarations
In favor of It. Those corporations
which have benefited more under n
territorial form of government than
would be,,the case un<fer a state.

Nor arc the territories themsele*

ton to further thrircause. Formerly
the wealthy men of each territory who
for patriotic reasons, were Interested
In having g atata form or government
were called upin to contribute to a
general fund, out of which the heavy
expenses of the representatives were

appeared among them, ailing la the
work «r button holing the ambers of
the house and senate. Incident ally,
as these delegations were made up of
the leading politicians of the terrlto-
various schemes for political con
trol were arranged with such care that
all the oglces were apportioned In ad
vance. When the bill upon which
these hope* depended did not pass,
the disappointed rrrgvd disconsolate
made Ita way home.
With each disappointment thus en
countered It became more dlUcuit to

As was expected, the latter declar

on speaker Cannon and thn present

duct their campaign against the
speaker as to prevent It from Inter

messures the President re-
commends, such as the posts I savings
