...presidents called Francis Gorman a traitor, and Mr. Hillman scoffed: "Mr. Gorman's attempt is doomed to failure, because he has no organization and no following."

Since the Republicans now have 88 seats in the House, the Democrats 328, par for the election will be 138 Republicans, 278 Democrats in the next House of Representatives...
