CHANGE IN SENATE.

The terms uf thir,y-onr senator
viii expire the third dar u ."N'
March. and IL has already h'r SIT
tied that some of thcm VIII rnt 'c
returned Primary election. ha\"
sealed the fate OF sorl". AMI "'h"rs
have been eliminated by one prncCS'
~ other, The strength oI tn move
ment against those tendencies IN
government and In the affairs that
the President has termed "rcac' al p
sry." has weakened the hold ot n
Lumber Of senator's on their offices.
How strong the sentiment is and
how effectively II is working was
shown In the Iowa result few
weeks ago. In this. Senator William
Il. Allison. recently deceased. the
eldest member OF the Senate in
point of service and one OF its strong
est members. escaped defeat by re-
markably narrow margin. The cam
paiga argument against him Was
that he was affiliated with the forces
oi reaction. Though Senator Allison
WAS running for the seventh conse-
cutive term and ordinarily would
have been elected without opposition.
the feeling that he had not stood Tor
progressive legislation as he should
have done made the campaign
against him possible.
The latest senator to go down In
defeat Is Henry e. Hansbrough OF
North Dakota, who has been beaten
In the primaries OF his state. S.na-
tor Hansbrough's enemies raised the
cry OF being a corporation candidate,
and Thomas r. Marshall led the bal
luting. Mr.. Hansbroush Is chairman
oi the Senate public lands committee
and has taken an important part in
Senate AFFAIRS. II Is one Of the
strange features of Senator Hans
lrough's turning down that a study
at his votes shows be has almost in |
yariably voted against the wishes OF !
the Senate Republican leaders In
railroad matters and matters where
corporation questions were involved
Yet his enemies waged campaign 4
against him on the ground that he .
was a railroad and corporation man |
and succeeded In beating him.
Senator Fulton Of oregon has been
beaten In the primaries. and Cover
H..r,. rk.,nL.YI.Hp n.pn. /
crat. is expecteing TO succeed him.
senator Alfred B. Kittridge Of South
Dakota was recently beaten In the
primaries by Governor Cot ]. Craw-
ford.
Senator Thomas e. Plat Of New
York Will. OF course. drop out Of
politics March 3. 1909. His state Is
tired Of him and anxious To see him
eliminated.
Senator Levi Ankeny OF Washing.
ton is another senator whose term
will end next March and who may
not return. He Is strongly opposed
by Representative Wesley l.. Jones.
The fight Is a hard one and the out
come not certain. Jones. however.
Is a strong man and has the better q
OF the situation up to date.
