true that as many oi the now districts on

The legislatures Of twenty-five states
whose members viii be chosen today will
have the selection of successors to fourteen

The expectations of the Farmers Ali
ance, If they are well founded. place the
seats of several other senators in jeopardy,
and the complexion OF tine next senate
may undergo considerable change as a
result of today election The Republicans
look TO retaining the senate, whatever the
presidential result may be- as % bulwark
against tariff legislation. The Democrats
are planning Co increase their representa-
tion in the upper house, and the Farmers
Alliance is schcming 90 secure tie balance
of power.
The Democrats claim that they win elect
legislatures which win return Democrats
in place OF all Democratic senators whose
terms expire, and also ia place of the Re
publican incumbents in New York, Com
necticut, Michigan and Wisconsin. and the
Farmers Alliance expects 90 capture seua-
torships in Nevada, Nebraska and Wash

This would mean loss to the Republic

This would practically give the farmers

The Republican leaders, however, 90 not
conccde the loss of any of the seven scna-
torships. They admit that these siutcs viii
be close so far as the Legislative Vote is con-
ccrncd, bat claim their chance OF winning
in these states is better than that of the
Democrats. They are particularly coud-
dent of the result i'm Connecticut Ncbras-

This is particularly true of Delaware and

In West Virginia stephen B. Elkins has
made "a personal canvass, upon which he
predicts the election of Republican LEXIS

This would result in q Republican step
