G.O.P. CONTROL IS LEGISLATIVE NEED

CONGRESS MUST BE REPUBLICAN TO INSURE PASSAGE OF CONSTRUCTIVE LAWS. NATION DEMANDS CHANGE WASHINGTON.— (Special) — Republican control of the Senate and House of Representatives is positively essential to the enactment of constructive legislation advocated by the Republican presidential nominee and the Republican platform, it is being pointed out here by men familiar with the affairs of the government and the demands of the people. — Tfie strong demand for legislation that will shear the President of his arbitrary war powers and bring about readjustment of business and commercial conditions has been noted since the beginning of the presidential campaign. There is also a growing feeling, even in the South, for protection under the tariff, and the success of such measures will depend on the strength and politics of the two branches of Congress after the election in November. All Voters Must Help. It is being confidently predicted here that the Republicans will increase their present majority in the Senate considerably, but it is also pointed out that this can only be done by maintaining the present commanding lend in the presidential and senatorial campaign, by obtaining the whole-hearted and active co-operation of every Republican voter, especially in those states where members of the Senate are to be chosen. Every believer in the principles of the Republican party owes it to himself and his party to do his utmost, not only as an individual, but as a part of the party, to make certain that his candidate for the Senate and the lower House also, is elected by a heavy majority.
