There are still seven House seats, emptied by Death, to be filled by Nov. 3. Unless the inconceivable happens, Democrats will succeed Democrats in the 7th New York, 1st Georgia and the 20th Ohio districts. Republicans are likely to succeed Republicans in the 8th Michigan, 2nd Pennsylvania, ist Wisconsin. In the ist Ohio district lies the possibility of deadlock or Democratic victory. Should the Democracy gain the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth's seat it would have a House majority-218-10-217-provided Death does not again intervene...
