Congressman Walter I Smith of the
Ninth district of Iowa says he is not a
candidate for the United States Senate,
and will not under any circumstances
be a candidate to succeed Senator Ali
son.
Congressman Charles T. Townsend
of the Second Michigan district has an
nounced himself a candidate for Uni
ted States Senator, and it is estimated
that he will oppose Senator Julius G.
Burrows if Mr.. Burrows becomes a
candidate to succeed himself.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, who is
one IF the most ardent of ~"third-term-
ers, aspires to the honor of heading
the Oregon delegation to the next Ma
tional Republican convention, and he
hopes thus to win the distinction of re-
nominating Roosevelt for President.
Roswell B. Burchard is said to stand
the best chance of obtaining the Re-
publican nomination for governor of
Rhode Island at the convention next
month. Former Governor Utter is
still spoken favorably of in some quart
ers, but Mr.. Burchard, who was speak
er of the last House of Representatives,
is conceded to have the inside track.
Senator William B. Allison of Iowa,
who has announced his candidacy for
another term, has been continuously in
the Senate since 1872, and with the end
of his present term in 1909 he will have
served in the upper chamber of Con-
gress a total of six full terms or thirty
six years. He had previously served
eight years in the House-making for
ty-four years of continuous represen-
tation of Iowa at Washington. His
record of unbroken service in the Sen
ate is unparalleled.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic State convention which will
name a candidate for governor assemb-
led here today. More than 1900 dele
gates were in their seats when the
gathering was called to order. The
indications are that Frank Katzenbach,
former mayor of Trenton, will be the
choice for governor. The only other
person whose name is mentioned for
the nomination is ex-Judge Francis
Child, Of Newark.
The Democrats believe that their
chances tor success this fall are ex-
ceedingly bright. The liquor question
developed by the passage of the Bish-
ops law in 1906 is one of the questions
which is giving the party leaders on
both sides a good dea, of concern. The
Democratic convention will probably
avoid it as far as possible in this plat
form. The Republicans, who will
meet in convention here Thursday, will
probably stand pat on the law.
