DEPEW FIGHTING FOR A.
THIRD TERM IN THE SENATE
Believed That He Will Be Favored in Order TO
Keep Roosevelt Out of the Sacred
Upper Chamber.

Fountain l.. Thompson, of Cando, who
has just taken the senatorial oath for
the unexpired portion of the johnson
term and also successor TO Senator
McCumber now rounding out his Sec
ond term. North Dakota has a primary
for the designation of senators and NJ
field of prominent candidates are now
in the running.
Beveridge in Fight.
Senator Beveridge. of Indiana an.
parently will have no opposition for
reelection to third term from his own
party but he has the stiffest kind OF
fight ahead to keep some Hoosier
Democrat from supplanting him. SEN
ator William Warner, a Republican
from Missouri, has Just gotten Richard
G. Kerens out of his way by having,
the latter nominated as ambassador toe
Vienna, but Ex-Governor Joseph Folk,
Democrat, wants that toga. The ad.
ministration is very DESTROYS of keep
ing Missouri in the Republican column
next year and the fight over the sens
torship will be very hot. Senator
Moses E. Clapp, in Minnesota, is very
much on the defensive this early, be-
n.
Kellogg, the government s attorney in
the Standard Oil suits, to succeed him.
Senator Burrows, who has been in con.
gress from Michigan for more than
generation, is being opposed by ex-
Secretary of the Navy Truman II. New
berry.
Some Certainties :.
Other senators, who come up for re-
election next winter, are Aldrch OF
Rhode Island; Bulkeley, of Connecti-
cut; Burkett, of Nebraska; Carter, of
Montana; Clark, of Wyoming; Culber-
son, of Texas, DUPONT, of Delaware;
Frazier, of Tennessee; Hale, of Maine;
Kean, of New Jersey; Lodge, of Mas,
sachusetts; Nixon, of Nevada; Oliver,
of Pennsylvania; Page, of Vermont;
Piles. of Washington; Scott, of West
Virginia; Sutherland, of Utah, and
Taliaferro, of Florida. 81
Some of these will have no opposi-
ton within their own party and sew
eral are assured of reelection without
effective opposition from the other par
ty. Among the number might be men
toned Aldrich, Clark, Hale, Lodge,
Oliver, all Republicans, and Culberson
and Taliaferro, Democrats. 1t is be-
lieved here that Bulkeley, Carter, Du-
Pont, Page and Sutherland will also
be given another six years of senatorial
tenure Senator Carter always has
great opposition in Montana, but her
also has very great support. The State
'has been vacillating between the Re-
publicans and the Democrats, but OF
recent years has had large influx of
Republican voters, and chances favor
1.-THE control of the next legislature by
that party.
Senator Kean will have big tussle
to get back to the senate from New
Jersey. He is rather prominent fig
ure in the senate. The late Delaware
legislature was Democratic on joint
ballot, but Senator DUPONT is counted
upon to prevent recurrence of that
when he wants reelection. In a
! number of States there is talk
about trying to GUST senatorial in
cumbents, but much of it is of the char
acter seen in Maine and Massachu-
sets and not likely to materialize in
the legislature.
Three Democratic senators have al
ready been designated for election to
terms beginning year from next
| March. They are Senators Daniel, or
Virginia; Rayner, of Maryland, and
ex-Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi. The legislatures of
those States meet this winter and viii
commission those men. Mr.. Williams
will succeed Senator fernando De Soto
Money, who is getting ready to retire
after long career in the public SER
! vice. The Mississippi Legislature will
also elect a senator this winter in
place of the late Anselm J. McLaurln
to serve till March 3, 1913.
There are practically no contests ON
in the South, except in Tennessee.
Senator Frazier will have trouble get
ting back. Secretary of War Dickin-
son has been mentioned for his place,
but the Tennessee Democrats viii Sc
lect some man who has been less iden-
titled with the Republican party.
