Washington. - Thirty members OF
the senate are in the last year of
their present terms. The conventions
or elections of the summer and fall
will decide, in almost all the cases,
whether the toga wearers shall return
to their law practice or disport for
six years more in the marble temple
OF legislation on the hill.
In regard to several of the senators
the question has already been set
tied. The return of Senator Isidor
Rayner has been assured by the ac-
ton of the Maryland Legislature.
Senator Heranando De Sofa Money,
the democratic leader, will retire to
his plantation in Mississippi. They
take a senatorial situation by the
forelock down in Mississippi and In
line with the honorable custom John
Sharp williams, statesman, gentle
man. scholar, lawyer and planter,
was chosen several years g to sue
coed Money. Williams was then
leader Of the democrats and one of
the most popular members Of the
house. Senator Flint California; has
said he would not be a candidate for
reelection. In a statement issued a
short time g he explained that the
great expense of Carrying on a cam
paign under the new California pri-
mary law was beyond his means and
that, besides, he felt 1t to be his duty
to earn more money than comes in
the senate pay envelope to provide for
the future of his family.
Aldrich Will Stick.
At the held of the list, alphabet
ically n otherwise, of those who
will toe the mark and take the oath
next March will be n Senator Aid
rich, from Rhode Island. A vagrant
rumor went the rounds last summer
that Aldrich had decided to retire.
When II was brought to his attention
ne remarked that III hadn't passed
out authority to anybody to make
such a statement. SO he'll be back.
They have been trying to build a
fire under Senator Hale in the thirsty
state of Maine, but the senator's
friends declare that he'll return again
Just as he has for thirty years. He
stands beside Aldrich at the head of
the regular organization in rank but
not in influence. Other members of
the old guard likely to return are
Lodge, Mass, and Kean, n. J., while
Burroughs, Mich. and Scott, w. Va.
say they will be here too though they
are fighting for the honor in the face
OF right lively opposition.
-Four of the band of progressives in
the senate are under fire Of the in
terests'' and according to widely cir
culated reports, of the regular repub-
llcans. but they are fighting on cheer
fully with h expectation OF. putting
In six years more at the old stand. La
Toilette Is, of course, an object Of es-
pecial solicitude n extraordinary
efforts are being made TO overturn
Wisconsin, where he has no friends
but the people. Beveridge, now the
undisputed republican leader in In
diana and a strong force in the senate
is up for reelection. Burkett has
w. ]. Bryan, among other issues, on
his hands in Nebraska, and Clapp
seeks recognition in Minnesota where
they are up to date and don't ave
moss on their political doctrines.
