STATES ELECT
Great Interest Manifested in
Choice of u. S. Senators
Next Month.
MAJORITY IS REPUBLICAN
However, Bipartisan Alliances May
Change ResuIts-Opportuni
for the Democrats.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The legisla-
lures of 27 states, considerably more
than one-half Of the union. will meet
next month TO elect United States
senators
Fifteen of these states have repub-
lican legislatures and IL of them have
democratic majorities, but so hot is the
battle in number of them and so mar
now is the margin of party strength
that the dominant party is in grave
danger of a fall Already such bipar-
tisan alliances are under way in Ten
nessee and Massachusetts, and pOliti-
clans would not be surprised to find
one at work in Montana
CRISIS FOR DEMOCRATS.
The forthcoming elections are Of the
gravest importance TO the democratic
party, for upon the senatorial selec-
tions will depend in a large measure
that party's chances for success in
1912. If it elects senators of high
type, men of genuine ability. men of
unquestioned character, men of integ-
rity judgment and courage. ii will not
only give that party a powerful minor
ity in the republican senate of the 62nd
congress. but il will give to the demo
cracy a splendid testimonial for use in
the 1912 fight.
MAY MEAN FAILURE.
On the other hand. if that party fall
of in this opportunity. if it select what
ever noisy shouter can win temporary
applause or give its support to men
of questionable past and dangerous
alliances. it will find itself powerless
in the senatorial councils next year
and saddened with a burden Of trou-
bic.
