NEWS FORECAST
THE COMING WEEK
OMNIBUS CLAIM BILL TO COME
UP BEFORE SENATE.-JOHN
KERN PROBABLY TO BE
ELECTED SENATOR OF INDI-
ANA.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 4.-The
reassembling of congress after the
holidays and the meeting of the Leg
islatures in a number of states, in
some of which sharp contests are on
for seats in the United States Sen
ate, promise to furnish much live
news of public interest during the
ensuing seven days.
Public interest in the meeting OF
the state legislatures will be divided
chiefly between Missouri and Connec-
ticut, in each of which states con-
test is on for United States senator.
Interest has been aroused in the
Senatorial situation in Missouri by
the reports from that state that an
effort may be made to defeat the re-
election of Senator Stone. The dem
ocrats have a narrow majority on
joint ballot, and it is reported that
the republicans may contest half a
dozen seats in an attempt to wrest
control from the opposing party.
Those we'll informed as to the stu
alton, however, believe that if such
an attempt is made it will be fruit
less Of results.
In Indiana, Democrat, probably
John w. Kern, will be chosen to sue
coed Senator James E. Hemenway,
republican. In Connecticut an in
teresting contest is on for the seat
of Senator Brandegee. In Pennsyl-
vania, where the republican politi-
cal machine is always we'll oiled, the
kinks in the contest for the toga now
worn by Senator Knox will probably
be well smoothed out before the
ballotting begins.
The legislature to assemble in Illi-
nois will re-elect Senator Hopkins.
In South Dakota Governor Coe L..
Crawford will be chosen to succeed
Senator Kittridge.
Other states in which the legisla-
lures will meet during the week in
clude Idaho, Montana, North Dakota,
Minnesota, Massachusetts, North Ca
rolina, California, Delaware, Maine,
Michigan. Nebraska, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island and Tennessee.
Governors elected in November
will be installed in numerous states
during the early part of the coming
week.
Important cases are on the docket
of the United States Supreme
court, which will reconvene Monday
after the usual holiday recess. Fore
most on the list are the commodities
clause cases, which involve the con-
stitutionaIity of the clause of the
Hepburn rate law prohibiting rail-
road companies from carrying COM
modities of their own production.
