MANY TERMS EXPIRE
LIVELY CONTESTS FOR SEATS OF
 UNITED STATES SENATORS.
The Terms of Thirty Members of the Senate VIII Expire Before March 1O11-EfghtS Due In
 Indiana.

Washington, D. C., June 20-Between now and March 3. 1911, stirring con- tests for United States Senatorships will be held in many States. The terms of thirty members of the Senate will expire on that date. and among them are some of the most influential meni- bers of that body. on the Democratic side as well as on the Republican.
 Ohio and Indiana promise to furn- ish the liveliest fights and added Inter est will be given the contest In the Buckeye State. if ex-Senator Foraker decides to enter the lists against Sem ator Dick, who will be a candidate for re- e-election. Senator Beveridge, und. }, is believed to have a big contest on his hands to secure reelection. For mer Senator Hemenway Is known to en- certain a strong desire for Beveridge's g seat, and there is also possibility that former Vice President Fairbanks may get into the contest.
 Not the least interesting of the Sem atorial contests that will be settled be- fore March 3, 1911. will take place Tn Connecticut. Things political in that State are already being framed with view to sending Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley down to defeat. Senator Bull kelley has been the Republican boss of Connecticut for many years. but with in the past few years a strong revolt has been organized to bring about his downfall. The anti-machine Republi. cans have been gaining strength and the Senator undoubtedly will have a hard fight to return to Washington.
 Senator Hale. (Me.). the Father of the Senate" will be returned. He has some opposition, but this Is expected to fade away before the time comes for the election. The same may be said of Senator Aldrich, (R. I), who will fin- t1k Jrfp of PnnfinnOna IT, vice in the Senate when his present term expires in 1911, and who undoubt- edly will be sent back for another six years.
 Senator Lodge, (Mass.), may find his re-election more difficult than his coll leagues of Maine and Rhode Island. Until several months ago 1t looked as though he would have smooth sailing. but Representative Butler Ames has been gong over the State with a fine tooth comb in an effort to groom men for the Legislature who will pledge themselves to vote against Lodge.
 Senator Depew. (N. Y), will not be returned to the Senate. It is doubtful even if he will consenA to be a candi- date for reelection. New York al- ready is speculating on the question of his successor. The name of MT. Roose- welt has been frequently mentioned in connection with the Senatorship, but those who stand closest to the ex-Pres- ident are of the opinion that he will not engage in a fight for the honor. Former Governor Frank Black. Hon z. Joseph H. Choate, Timothy Woodruff and several others have been mention ed.
 Other Republican Senators whose terms will expire in 1911 are Clark (wyo); LaFollette. (Wis); Scott, CW' Val: Piles, (wash.); Page, (Vt2: Suth- erIand. CUtah); Oliver, (Pa.); MeCum- Der, (N. D); Kean. tN. J); Nixon, CNev); Burkett, Nsb2; csrter' Carter (Mont); Warner. Mo9; Glapp' (Minu .);Burrows. (Mich); and Flint
