at West Point.
 | Washington.-The Republican sena- tors who voted against the Payne-Ald- rich tariff bill and who fought many of its provisions from the very be- l ginning of the debate hope that in l one years time their ranks will be I fuller than they are today, for they Il say they expect that from one or two I states there will come senators of I their way of thinking to add to what I they call the anti3organization strength in the upper house.
 | The Democrats hope and seemingly Il believe that their ranks are to be re- cruited largely as result of the senatorial elections in the different I state legislatures next winter. Every second year there is an influx of new senators into congress or an influx of | old senators who have been lucky enough to be reelected The list of members of the upper house whose terms will expire at midnight March 3, 1911, is long one. and it runs as follows:
 Democrats-James P. Taliaferro, Florida; Isador Rayner, Maryland; ; Hernando D. Money, Mississippi; /; James B. Frazier, Tennessee; John W. Daniel, Virginia; Charles A. Cul. person. Texas.
 Republicans-William Warner, Mis- souri; George Sutherland, Utah; Ma than B. Scott, West Virginia, Samuel H. Piles, Washington; Carroll s. Page, Vermont; George T. Oliver, Pennsyl- vania; George s. Nixon, Nevada; Por- ter J. McCumber, North Dakota; Henry Cabot Lodge, Massachusetts; Robert M. La Toilette, Wisconsin; i; i John kean, New Jersey; Eugene Hale, Maine; Frank P Flint, California; i; Henry A. du Pont, Delaware; Charles Dick, Ohio; Chauncey M. Depew; New York; Clarence D. Clark, Wyoming; Moses E. Clapp, Minnesota Thomas H. Carter, Montana; Julius c. Bur- rows, Michigan; Elmer J. Burkett, | Nebraska; Morgan G. Bulkeley, Con- necticut; Albert J. Beveridge, Indi. ana; Nelson W. Aldrich. Rhode Island.
 Republicans to Retain Control. | the Democrats will obtain control of the senate as a result of next winter | elections. There are too many always | Republican states to choose their rep resentatives in the upper house to give much basis for any Democratic | hope that the present great majority against them can be overcome. Maine, it may be, will not return Eugene Hale to the senate, but admittedly on all sides MT. Hale's chances of con- ing back are bright, although there is a fight being waged against him in l the home state. If MT. Hale by any | chance should be defeated his place will not be taken by Democrat, but by some Republican whom the people of Maine will think more nearly rep resents what they consider the pro- gressive Republican tendency of the | age.
 AIdrich Sure to Come Back.
 Senator Aldrich, the Republican leader, is certain to be returned to the senate if he lives. No Democrat has made any claim of possibility of MT. Aldrich's defeat One year ago former Gov. Utter of Rhode Island said that he was authorized by Mir Aldrich to declare that the senator would not be a candidate for re- election. It was perfectly true that the Republican senate leader had in- | tended to retire at the expiration of his present term of office The neces- sity for financial legislation induced MT. Aldrich to change his mind, for he l saw an opportunity, as his friends put | it. to build legislative monument to himself in the shape of a financial 1 measure that might be satisfactory to all sections of the country What ever it was that induced MT. Aldrich to change his mind, he changed it, 1 and he will be a candidate for re-elec- tion. and unless death intervenes it seems assured that he is to come back to Washington
 | Out in Indiana the Democrats hope l to secure successor to Senator AL bert J. Beveridge. Mir. Beveridge has | hard campaign ahead of him prior l to the elections of members of the | legislature. There are a number of | holdover Democrats who will have seats in the next legislature and this advantage of the opposition party the Republican senator will have to over l come
 New York will choose a senator to succeed Chauncey NJ. Depew. Mir De- pew wants to succeed himself, but it l may be that certain passages in the senator's life a few years ago will prevent his party from sending him back to the upper house.
 To Fill up West Point. The members of the fourth, or as it | is called, the plebe class. have just reported for admission to the United | States Military academy at West Point. There are only 105 members ! of the class, and there still will be 150 vacancies in the corps of cadets. The committee on military affairs of the United States senate has just recommended change in the law reg ulating appointments to West Point
