TN POLITICS

The six democrats of Indiana who
aspire to the seat of United States
Senator Hemenway are John W. Kern,
late candidate for vice president; State
Senator T. E. Slack of Franklin, for
mer Congressman Benjamin F. Shively
of South Bend, John e. Lamb of Terre
Haute, Major G. V. Menzies of Mount
Vernon and Edward G.. Hoffman of
Fort Wayne.
While the terms of thirty-one sena-
tors, more than one-third of the en-
tire body, will expire on March 4 next,
eighteen of this number already have
been elected again or assured of re-
election, either by primary contests or
by pledges of a majority of the mem
bership of the several state legislatures
charged with the duty of electing SEN
ators before the beginning of the next
congress.
The election of Hon. Eugene Hale of
Maine as republican leader of the
United States senate, which carries
with it the craftsmanship of the senate
committee on appropriations, formerly
held by the late Mr.. Allison of Iowa
recalls the fact that out of the forty
| one years that the appropriations com
mittee has existed, he craftsmanship has
been held for thirty-two years by sen
ators from Maine and Iowa. The
Maine predecessor of Mr.. Hale was Sen
ator Lot NJ. Morrill,, who served as
chairman from 1869 to 1871 and from
! 1873 to 1879.

uary the state legislatures will meet

What would you give to America if

A magazine editor has asked this
