be very busy this summer and iali5
for many important state conventions
and primary contest involving senator
ships win be held. Some Of these are
80 important that they viii fix the at
tention Of the country.
Some Of them are:
The Ohio Republican state convention
at Columbus, July % to 81.
The Iowa Republican state convention
Aug. 3, al Dies MONIES.
The Wisconsin primaries, involving the
senatorship, Sept 8.
The New York contest for nomination
for governor and control OF the Republic
can organization
The congressional campaign, involving
control Of the House in The sixty second
Congress.
Outside Of presidential year, IL seldom
happens that there are so many inter
esing situations crowded into one POI
htical season. To a considerable degree,
this Is because Of the fractional contest
in the Republican party between the
regulars and progressiyes.
In Ohio the big question Is the nom
nation for governor on the Republican
side, the purpose being to bet a nominee
big enough to defeat Governor Judsen
Harmon.
In Iowa the Republican state conven-
lion viii have the problem Of adopting
platform. The progressiyes, az eyi-
denced By the recent county conventions,
will be in control OF the convention.
Their action wiz be watched the coun-
try over. for the reason that 1t Will
be looked on as rejecting middle west
political sentiment with respect to the
tariff and the insurgant movement.
Ia Toilette Is the supreme question IN
the Wisconsin primaries. In them viii

remain in the Senate
Many watch New York.
The New York situation attracts no
tice All over the country. II was Thought
By many that 1t would quickly straight
en- itself out when Roosevelt returned,
But here the feeling Is that Il Is worse
tangled than ever. and that the Republi.
can leaders are as much IN the air over
nominee for governor as are their
brethren in Ohio. The question Is how
far he viii have the say in the nomina
ton Of the Republican candidate for
ffbst Roosevelt might throw lis inBiF
ence to Loeb for governor. Now, along
comes William Barnes, jr., boss Of Al
bany county, and says Loeb eannot
have AIbany's support. This notice OF
intent to hpht Loeb il certain to hur
his prospects for the nomination, though
III IS not necessarily fatal 10 them.
| Barnes has sounded a note that IS nota-
| ing less than plain defiance to Roose-
welt. and it Is not easy here to see
how Roosevelt can avoid fighting or
how he can fail TO have a bard time
shaping things to suit himself in the
4 tate convention. The New York row
spells trouble for the Republicans IN
tbat state III the elections, as generally
\ viewed here, unless there is show Of
harmony az the state convention, which
does not seem now TO be indicated.
