IN THIS ARTICLE THE AUTHOR USES THE WOOING OF JAN JONES, MAYOR OF LAS VEGAS, INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS AN INDICATION OF THE DRIVE TO RETAKE CONGRESS IN 1996. JONES, AND HER RETICENCE TO RUN, TELLS A TALE OF POLITICAL RECRUITMENT - AND MAY GIVE SOME INDICATIONS OF WHETHER THE DEMOCRATS CAN RETAKE CONGRESS. AS THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF CAPITOL HILL BEGINS, RECRUITMENT PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT EARLY INDICATOR OF PARTY STRENGTH AND MOMENTUM. A HIGH NUMBER OF SEATS ARE OPEN OR CONTESTABLE THIS YEAR, AND EACH SIDE IS EAGER TO SHOW HOW IT IS BETTER POSITIONED TO GAIN THE MAJORITY.
