the senate must Glitter set The state

Confidence at home means confidence
IN congress. Other senators whose
terms expire March 3 have already
been elected either last year or early In
the fall. Tile senatorial elections are
always an interesting feature of the
short session Of congress. In cases
where there IL a hot contest and there
IL some doubt as to whether sitting
senators are to be returned the daily
baiIotinas are watched with interest.
In these cases the senator seeking re-
election is often at the suite capital.
