AS TO the chances of these senators
for reelection. it is now announced
that Aldrich will be IL candidate to sue
coed himself. and there is every pros
pect that he will do SO. In the case of
Beveridge. the present legislature of
Indiana is Democratic. and it is adj
mitted on all hands that the fight in
that state IN the fail will he Il hard one.

licans win Heverdgc will be reelected.
BuIkcley will probably succeed him.

Burliett is in the same boat with Bev-

now Democratic. Burlictl himself

Carter of Montana and Clark of Wy

selves. although Montana in Populist
days went against the Republicans
Clapp may have opposition in his own
party. but as Minnesota has shown
strong leanings toward the insurgent
cause and as Clapp belongs to the in,
surgents his chances seem at least
favorable. Culberson of Texas will al
most certainly succeed himself. and
Daniel of Virginia has been reelected.
Eugene Hale. the titular Republican
senate leader. is to be opposed in his
own party, Judge Frederick \. Powers

from Wisconsin. will certainly be Il
candidate to succeed himself and will
doubtless win. Money of Missis,

Sharp Williams, who has already been
elected. Nevada is an uncertain state
politically. frequently going Democrat
ic, which makes NiXon's reelection
debatabe. Washington has generally
been Republican of late years. which
makes it probable that Piles success
sor will be of his own political faith.
Maryland is battle-ground. but if
the Democrats win Rayner will try
for it again. but may have opposition
in his own party. a Republican oppo-
nent to Nathan Bey Scott has already
appeared in West Virginia. In Mis-
souri, the Democrats will make de-
termined fight to regain the seat he'd
by William Warner, Republican.
A rather remarkable fact is that of
these thirty senators whose trims ey-
pire only six are Democrats. 1t is
frequently said that by no possibility
can the Democrats capture the next
senate. but little study shows that
they might 60 SO in Il landslide. The
present complexion of the senate is
thirty Democrats to fifty-eight
Republicans. or thirty-three to fifty
nine without Thompson OF North Da-

by Republican. Thus change of

left the land Office he became attorney
