and Senator Crane, who Yields thu
chief Republican influence in the stat
are confident that the Republicans
. VIII have no great trouble in carry
( ing the Legislature, in which even
b Mr.. Lodge will no doubt succeed him
E self.
The Connecticut situation has shown
no signs of difficulty for the Republi
cans thus far, and Senator Buckley
, seems sure of reelection.
Rhode Island will send the man up.
i, on whom Senator Aldrich and hi.
friends agree
New York Looks to Roosevelt.
The New York Republican leaders
are very much disturbed over the sit
uation in their State The defeat OF
. Audridge yesterday following on the
heels Of the Aids scandal are extreme
ly bad indications. The attitude OF
the 'bosslets" against Governor Hugh
es tends to convince the voters of the
State that a large part of the minor
leadership of the party in the State
| is corrupt and is fighting merely to
save itself from exposure through
the medium of political defeat
On every hand is heard the express
sion that only Colonel Roosevelt can
save New York to the Republicans
next fall. What he will do, of course
no man can now tell, but it is certain
he is about the only reliance of the
Republicans.
New Jersey presents a largely sim
liar situation, and if the indicated De-
mocratic ground swell finally develops
Senator Kean is quite likely to be
elected to stay at home for a while.
r In Delaware there are no signs yet
of any serious trouble among the Re-
publicans. Conditions being normal
or nearly. Senator DUPONT will come
back. But the Republican majority
there is not large, and ground swell
may easily wipe it out altogether.
In West Virginia Representative
hubbard is out for Senator Scots
place. The Republicans are split in
to factions very badly But there has
been no special indication of disaf-
lection, and the tariff took care of
West Virginia handsomely, so that the
Republicans stand to hold their own
unless there is a great upheaval.
Pennsylvania will no doubt return
Senator Oliver.
Dsaffecton in Ohio.
Then comes Ohio, where the Repub- !
lic6ns are in all sorts of trouble, fac
tional and otherwise, with a strong !
Democrat in the Governors chair !
Governor Harmon will run again, with
every prospect of reelection. There
is tremendous dissatisfaction with the
Republicans in that State. Much ia
riff disaffection. exists to add to the
factional troubles Senator Dick, one
Of the old guard reactionaries, is out
FOR primary to renominate himself
with three or four candidates against
him
-Four years ago the Democrats elect
ed the Governor, but lost the rest of
he State ticket, and came within
'ew votes of controlling the Legisla-
,we. Two years ago they got the gov

md the Legislature went substantial
y Republican. This year they stand
/ good fighting show of carrying the
legislature and choosing Senator
Dicks successor.
In Michigan the Republicans prob
.bly will have no trouble carrying the
legislature. Senator Burrows is out
o succeed himself but Representative
Townsend is hot after him. Bur-
ows may be defeated but a Republi-
an probably will succeed him.
Beveridge stoutly maintains the Re-
,ublicans will carry Indiana by 10000
md that he will be re elected. Meth
+ the Democrats nor such Republic
ans as Watson and Hemenway be-
leve any such thing. The Republi-

miracle can save Beveridge. I!
In Wisconsin the Democrats were
only short time ago that ,
hey had no chance of beating Sena-
or La Toilette. So were the regular
republicans and there is no certainty
What the result will be, He is on
