Close Observers Think There viii Be Several
Changes In The United States Senate.

pirants are after his toga.
In Delaware Senator Alice is OPP
posed, apparently, by everybody, but
that senator asserts that the legisla-
ture will re-elect him and the proba-
bilities are that he is right in his pre-
diction. The vacancy that has exist
ed in the state so long was recently
filled by the election of Mr.. Dupont,
and little Delaware will again cast
two votes in the United States SEN
ate.
Senator Bacon, one of the ablest
men the South has in public life, was
4 renominated at the recent primary
and is assured Of reelection. Senator
Barry of Arkansas will be succeeded
by Jefferson Davis, and the seat of
Senator Carmack of Tennessee will be
occupied by Bob" Taylor The New
Hampshire legislature is now in sess-
ion and Senator Burnham of that state
is booked for reelection.
The senatorial situation in Kansas
is full of interest Mr.. Benson, who
was appointed to fill out the unexpired
term of Senator Burton, is anxious to
return, but HIS prospects are not over
bright. Representative Curtis APP
pears to have a better chance of Sc
curing the toga. Former Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow is also an
aspirant. The fight in Kansas appears
to be along LaFollette lines between
Curtis and Bristow
There seems to be no doubt about
the return of Senators Dolliver of
Iowa, Simmons of North Carolina,
Warren of Wyoming, Crane of Mass
achusetts and Elkins of West Virgin
ia Cullom of Illinois received an en-
dorsement at the state primary and is
assured of a return to the senate I'M

of the Legislature.
In New Jersey, John F. Dryden,
president of one of the large insurance
companies, desires reelection. oppo-
sition to him has arisen, and the lead
ers of that opposition declare they will
The fight in Rhode Island for the
seat of Senator Wetmore is one Of the
most interesting on the political map.
Senator Wetmore is a candidate for
reelection, but his chances are slim
He is opposed by two other million
aires. The outcome cannot be pre-
dicted, although a Republican will be
chosen.
In no state is the result more in
doubt than in Idaho. Secretary Taft's
recent visit to the state showed that
the Republicans are much concerned
over the outcome. Senator Dubois,
Democrat, desires to be returned, but
he has incurred the ill-will of the Nor
mon church, and even If the Demo.

S doubtful. If the Republicans win,
he next senator from Idaho will be /
Judge William h. Borah-
Senator William A. Clark of Mon I
ana is not standing for reelection. If Z
he Republicans control the legisla- {
.ure the fight for the senatorial seat !
will be between Lee Mantle, former
senator, and Representative Dixon.
The talk heard some time ago about
defeating Senator Ellsins in West Vir- :
sinia has died out From all accounts
he will not meet with any opposition.
Gamble of South Dakota, Martin of
Virginia and Tillman of South Caro- c
