Senators TuIly and Maiby aware Of Mr..
Odeli's Intentions. hut that Gov. Higgins
and Francis Hendricks and others ciose To
the Governor were acquainted with Nc.
Odell's desire 90 succeed Mr.. Goodsell.
In 1905 Mr.. Goodsell beat Henry Kohl.
his Democratic opponent In the district,
2,94i, and the opinion was expressed by
Mr.. Odell's Ncwburgh friends a. the Fifth
Avenue Hotel that he also could carry the
district. Some said that MIG Odcli's pro-
gramme was the preliminary step toward
gratifying hie ambition to become a United
States senator to succeed either MIR. Plat
or Mr.. Depev. but IL was pointed out that
the State ConTtitution would bar MIR. Odell
during his term as a State senator from
even becoming a candidate for United
States Senator.
On the other hand, Mr., Odell's friends
said that the United States Senate was the
sole Judge OF the qualification OF its own
members.
Senator Goodsell. IL was said was aware
that he Is to be set aside by Mr.. Odell in the
Orange district and that the news had been
communicated 10 President Roosevelt.
Senator Plat, Representative j. Sloat
Fassett, Representative John W. Dwight
and other influential Republicans now
residing in Washington.
The next announcement was that Senator
John Raines Of Canandaigua, because Of his
health, has said that he does not care to
return to the Senate, but Mr.. Raines, it was
remarked, has on several previous ocoa-
sions made a similar statement and woun1
up by returning to his old seat in the upper
house at Albany. The Senate apportion-
ment passed by the Higgins administrl-
ton Ia wing sliced up the districts OF Senator
Edgar Bracket Of Saratoga and Senator
Frederick c.. Stevens OF Utica, those two
Senators are now looking in other direo-
tons for political preferment. Senator
Bracket is an avowsd candidate for Gov
ernor and he has half a dozen Republican
counties above the Mohawk already solidfy
.lzl-ol 30 kt,, a Clopator GfAty0na 10 nm
out and out candidate for the Congress
nomination in the Thirty-fourth district,
which is made up of the counties Of Wyo-
ming, Livingston, Niagara, Orleans n
Genesee. and which has been represented
since the Forty-seventh Congress by James
W. Wadsworth, father Of the Speaker Of
the Assembly. Gov. Higgins has just APP
pointed Representative Wadsworth to be
a State Racing Commissioner, and this is
being used in his Congress district as an
argument against his denomination to
Congress.
AS to other changes in the State Senate
it was said very plainly that II Gov, Hig-
gins signs the Judiciary bill, which, among
other additions to the bench OF the Supreme
Court Of the State. calls for eight new JUS
tees Of that court for New York county,
Senator Elsberg will surely he nominated
by the Republicans for one OF the Justice
ships. 1t was even said that II all goes well
Senator Elsberg may also be Endorsed by
the Democrats. Senator CARL 8. Burr,
Jr., of Commack, l.. l., representing the
First district, il was announced, has 10
desire TO return to Albany and the same
statement was made for Senator Francis
NJ. Carpenter of Mount Kisco and Senator
James B. McEwan Of Albany. Senator Spen-
Ger @. Prime Of Upper Jay, Essex county,
IL not to be rcnomihated, IL was said for
the reason that John F.. 0'Brien of West
Chazy, Secretary of State and State COM
mitteeman for the Twenty-sixth district,
has decided that Mr.. Primes usefulness
voted against the eighty cent gas bill recon-
mended by the Stevens gas investigating
commission. .
Senator Malby, 1t las already been made
known, desires to go TO CongrdBsfn place Of
William Henry Flack OF Malone, Franklin
county, and Senator Walter l.. Brown OF
Oneonta would like to succeed Frank j..
LIE Fevre as Congressman for the Twenty
fourth district, which Is made up of Otsego,
Delaware, Schoharie and Ulster. Senator
Harvey D.. Human, so the Republicans
announced. doesn't much care whether
he Is returned or not, while senator Owen
Cassidy's seat may be occupied by Sher-
man M~oreland OF Chemung, leader Of the
majority in the Assembly at Albany last
winter. The two Senators for Monroe
county, Merton +. Lewis and SWilliam W.
Armstrong, II was stated, have announced
that they will not be candi'ates for re-
nomination this fall, and finally as for
Senator Irving L'Hommedieu Of Medina,
and Senator Henry Wayland Hill Of Buff
falo the word is passed that they are en-
tirely out, Of the running.
Both Democrats and Republicans we're
not at all timid in asserting that only a
political revolution can take the Senate
from the Republicans, and 1t was more than
evident from Yesterdays statements that
many new men are to be named by the
Republicans this fall.
