Congressional Committees @OrangeP47 assign the Dems in both chambers and @Willthescout7 assign the Whigs in both chambers. I'll post gains in the sheet once that is done.

Who do you support in each race?

Congressional Leadership The House changes hands to the Democrats who will elect a new Speaker. The Whigs maintain the Senate and likely the same leadership team. House Candidates @matthewyoung123 you can only run Philip Sheridan for Whip, where he will only be unopposed, or for any other office. If you run him for any other office then other candidates will jump into Whip race as shown below. Speaker Traditionalist Democrats: Fmr Speaker James H Berry of AR Justice Democrats: Roger Q Mills of TX Imperialists: Moderate Democrats: Min Leader George Vest of MO Tariff Democrats: William Wilshire of AR Maj Leader Traditionalist Democrats: Benjamin Tillman of SC Justice Democrats: William B Lamar of FL Imperialists: Moderate Democrats: James H Slater of OR Tariff Democrats: William T Hamilton of MD Maj Whip Traditionalist Democrats: Richard B Hubbard of TX Imperialists: Moderate Democrats: Isidor Rayner of MD Min Leader Tariff Whigs: Frank Gooding of ID Moderate Whigs: Maj Leader Francis E Warren of WY School Book Liberals: Speaker Albert J Hopkins of IL Progressive Whigs: Adin Capron of RI Min Whip Moderate Whigs: Thomas W Ferry of MI School Book Liberals: Cyrus G Luce of IN Progressive Whigs: Isaac Stephenson of WI Senate Candidates @matthewyoung123 you can run James P Pigott, Francis Cockrell, or Oscar Lapham. If you run Lapham for Whip he will be unopposed. If you run someone else for that position it will be open to the other factions as shown below. Maj Leader Wall Street Whigs: George Robeson of NJ Moderate Whigs: William Pitt Kellogg of IL School Book Liberals: Addison Foster of WA Maj Whip Wall Street Whigs: John Baker of IN Moderate Whigs: Thomas F Marshall of ND School Book Liberals: John B Hawley of IL Min Leader Moderate Democrats: Min Leader John L Mitchell of WI Imperialists: Min Whip Traditionalist Democrats: Charles T O'Ferrall of VA Justice Democrats: George D Tillman of SC Imperialists: Min Whip Oscar Lapham of RI Pres Pro Temp: Addison Foster of WA (assuming not elected Maj Leader)

Faction Personalities Traditionalist Democrats: Conservatives, Traditionalists, RW Pop, +Nationalists, Theocrats, RW Activists, RW Media Justice Democrats: Conservatives, Nationalists, RW Activists, Law & Order Imperialists: Moderates, Expansionists, +Environmentalist, +Public Housing, +Science, +Free Trade(-Law & Order) Moderate Democrats: Moderates, Theocrats, + Human Rights, Welfare Tariff Democrats: LW Pop, Progressives, Pacifists, LW Activists, Reformists, Isolationists, Public Healthcare, Labor Unions, +LW Media, Protectionist, Welfare (-Environmentalist) Tariff Whigs: Conservatives, Nationalists, +RW Activists, +RW Media, +Technology, Protectionist Wall Street Whigs: Moderates, Expansionists, Big Corporations, Wall Street, +Private Education, +Globalists, Law & Order, Military-Industrial (-Science) Moderate Whigs: Moderates, Expansionists, Big Corporations, Wall Street, Big Oil & Gas, Globalists, Big Pharma, Military-Industrial, Transportation (-Private Education, Free Trade) School Book Liberals: Liberals, Moderates, Civil Rights, LW Activists, Reformists, Big Agriculture, Public Education, Environmentalist, LW Media, Free Trade, Welfare (-Globalists, Human Rights, Labor Unions) Progressive Whigs: LW Pop, Progressives, Liberals, Moderates, LW Activists, Reformists, Big Agriculture, Labor Unions (-Public Housing, LW Media, Technology) We begin to see a realignment of the parties after the 1904 election with Whig factions losing many cards to the Democrats. Social issues begin to fade away from the Whig factions and become the focus of some Dem factions. Whigs still maintain their position as the party of business and the military.

Whig Kingmakers Tariff Whigs Master Kingmaker Edwin Sydney Stuart takes on Sen William O'Connell Bradley. Gains Admin +1, Business, Nationalist, Reformist, Manipulative, Puritan Wall Street Whigs Master Kingmaker John H Ketcham takes on Gov James G Blaine. Gains Military +1 Moderate Whigs James M Harvey takes on Charles Curtis. Gains Legis+1, Education, Manipulative School Book Liberals Thomas L James takes on Theodore Roosevelt. Gains Trade Progressive Whigs Marion Butler takes on John E Fowler. Gains Justice, Puritan

Yep, there's a chance Backburn became a Master Kingmaker (which he already was), and Donahey gains Admin+2, Foreign Affairs, Justice, Nationalist, Efficient, Orator, and +1 nationally.

Kingmakers and Proteges @matthewyoung123 @OrangeP47 @Willthescout7 please make the new pairs and audit for any non-existing bonds.

Conversions Party Leaders Can target Imperialists, Moderate Democrats, Tariff Whigs, Wall Street Whigs, Moderate Whigs, School Book Liberals, and Progressive Whigs William B Allison targets Edward Salomon and rolls 95 so fail. Robert E Pattison targets Carl Schurz and Winston Churchill. Rolls 9 and 17 so Schurz is successful. Question then: if a protégé cannot flip parties, do they go with a kingmaker who can? Also would assume the faction leader as a protégé does not flip either. I'm inclined to say no since they aren't primed to switch parties anyway and the rules state they break the bond if they are in different parties. Faction Leaders Can target Imperialists, Moderate Democrats, Tariff Whigs, Wall Street Whigs, Moderate Whigs, School Book Liberals, and Progressive Whigs. James B Weaver no targets Hiram Johnson targets Rep John Quincy Adams II. Rolls 97 and fails. Thomas J Walsh targets Sen Henry F Ashurst. Rolls 7 so succeeds. Charles F Adams III targets Jud Track Charles Evans Hughes. Rolls 45 and fails. Theodore Roosevelt targets Henry E Burnham and Frank H Hitchcock. Rolls 28 and 65 so success on Burnham. James H Berry targets John Sharp Williams. Rolls 42 and succeeds. Robert E Pattison targets William Gibbs McAdoo and Charles A Culberson. Rolls 12 and 25 so McAdoo succeeds. Culberson loses Pliable. William B Allison targets Guilford Wells. Rolls 90 and fails.

Conversions Party Leaders Can target Imperialists, Moderate Democrats, Tariff Whigs, Wall Street Whigs, Moderate Whigs, School Book Liberals, and Progressive Whigs William B Allison target 1 at 10% marked for party flipping. Robert E Pattison target 2 at 10% marked for party flipping. Faction Leaders Can target Imperialists, Moderate Democrats, Tariff Whigs, Wall Street Whigs, Moderate Whigs, School Book Liberals, and Progressive Whigs. James B Weaver target 1 at 15% or 25% if LW Pop Hiram Johnson target 1 at 10% Thomas J Walsh target 1 at 10% Charles F Adams III target 1 at 10% Theodore Roosevelt target 2 at 48% or 58% if Lib James H Berry target 1 at 43% Robert E Pattison target 2 at 10% or 20% if Mod William B Allison target 1 at 10%
