Frankfort. Ky.. Jan. 3.-The .
Mon Of the Kentucky state legislature
which got under way today promises
to be one OF the most interesting and
exciting in the history Of that body.
The aessiOn Ii to choose \ United
States Senator To succeed Senator
Joseph 8. G. Blackburn, whose term
will expire March I. 1907. Senator
Blackburn 10 d candidate % succeed
himself. Az rival aspirants for the
senatorial toga there are Judge
Thomas H. Paynter and william b.
Haldeman, editor Of the Louisville
Times. All close observers Of the
situation regard the three-cornered
race ~ exceedingly close and the re.
suit an problematical. The support
ers OF each OF the candidates are al
ready laying claim 10 victory.
MI. Haldeman was the last candi-
date to enter the race, but 1t admit
ted on al sides that he has at least
an even chance. The legislature Is
composed OF 100 representatives and
t~hirty-eight senators, the complexion
being 1O5 Democrats and thirty-three
Republicans. Judge Paynter claims
~thirty-five votes pledged to his sup
port. and Senator Blackburn IL be-
lieved to have about the anne mum.

caucus will be composed Of 105 mem.
bers It will be necessary for the sue.
cessful candidate to receive fifty-three
votes. or eighteen or twenty more
than IL now pledged to either Payntef
or Blackburn. This gives Mr.. Halde-
man. who has the solid support Of the
Louisville and Jefferson county dele.
cation, an ever chance Of winning
out.
One other factor which enters large
ly into the candidacy Of Mr.. Haldeman
Il the fact that Governor Beckham.
who controls the Paynter supporters,
Is the political enemy Of Senator
Blackburn. which prevents any com
hnation between the Paynter and
Blackburn forces. On the other hand,
Mr.. Haldeman is the personal friend
Of both Governor Beckham and Sen.

range Of possibility for either the

A COMPLEX FIGHT.

This is a mutable world. 1T is Sena-
tor Ben Tillman who. with his pitch
fork. leads the disorganized forces OF
the Senate in making battle for the
Presidents railway rate bill,
The Eastern papers are fun of the
purported facts that Senators Aldrich,
Knox, Lodge Crane and other stall
warts of the Republican party have
refused 10 follow the President in the
contest. and that he is dependent upon
such Senators as are forced by the Will
Of their people to support the most
radical railway legislation that can be
procured, and upon the Democratic MI
self as his ally.
No situation of this character has
presented itself since President Cleve-
land was compelled to rely mainly up
on Republicans plus a small Following
of gold Democrats, for a repeal Of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
in the session OF 1893, and even then he
was not required TO accept the leader
ship for his cause in the Senate of
partisan opponent OF his admlnistra-
ton
There is a kind of kInship I'm the
characters Of President Roosevelt and
Senator TNman. Both are intensely
patriotic; both are dynamic. one uses
the big stick on occasion and the other
uses the pitChtork without occasion.
Both are honest I'm the extreme and
both are courageous beyond extreme.
The situation has another novelty so
far as it relates To Tillman, for that
outspoken Senator has abused the Hep
burn rate bill in his usual terms, He
has called 1t a maze of vapid words:
he has said that no legislation would
be better than such legislation; he has
denounced 1t as having gaps through
which a freight train could be driven.
And yet he is to have charge OF this
measure on the floor OF the Senate and
is TO push 1t, If possible, to passage.
And In the extraordinary complica-
ton thus presented the merits and de-
merits OF the bill are not likely to be
fairly considered. Abandoned by some
of his former and most trusted friends.
the President is likely to be more than
ever aggressive and determined to win
a triumph for the people as he believes,
by this piece of legislation; and the
Democrats, who claim railway rate
legislation by right of discovery are
likely to support the President and
claim for themselves a partisan vic
tory, or to abandon him almost en-
masse and leave himself and his party
under the etigma OF defeat. Thus per-
sonal feeling and partisanship become
ton of a question which should have
been determined by wisdom and pa

A WISE OMISSION.

one w II. Moore fthe National

Cleveland Plain Dealer as follows:
Reed Smoot is one OF the great reform
ers OF the century. He has done moro TO
purify and place the Mormon faith on a
level with Methodism, Presbyterianlsm,
Judaism and Catholicism than all the
apostles from Brigham Young to Prcsi-
dent Smith the reignlng president of the
church.
Mr.. Moore says a great many other
things on the same subject. The Des-
eret News quotes him at length, but
leaves out the significant paragraph in
which Moore places Smoot above Brig
