BATTLE IN STATE FOR
ELECTION OF UNITED
STATES SENATOR.
Democrats Have Fourteen Hold
Over Senators, Republicans
Ten With Is Doubtful.

Candidates for the Legislature
are making themselves know in
MANY counties Of the state, and in
no uncertain tones. This early in
terest is attributed to the fact that
the Republicans lost to the Demo
Gratis in many city elections ana
the leaders are starting in to iron
out disaffection wherever it exists
and unite to elect members of the
Legislature and carry their
county tickets through.
Unusual interest is manifested
in the forthcoming fight for con-
troll of the Legislature, for a
United States Senators to be elect
ed. Senator Beveridge will have
no opposition candidate within his
own party.
On the other hand, the Demo
cratic leaders feel that their pro-
spectS are good for placing an
other Democrat in the United
States Senate alongside Senator
Shively. So the fight for the sena-
torshlp simply narrows down to
a partisan contest with Senator
Beveridge leading the Republi-
can forces and Tohmas Taggart,
who is looked upon now by many
as a strong Democratic senator
ial possibility. the acknowledged
leader of the Democratic Gov
ernor Marshall has made no
effect to become the leader OF
the Democratic party in Indiana.
Taggart had a hand in organic
ing the new Democratic state
committee. and it will be Taggart
and his state conmitte behind
the fight for the control OF the
Legislature
The Democratic leaders are
aware that on a straight party
vote Indiana is Republican man
ayers realize this also and after re-
organization is perfected next
week they will seek to bring
back into the fold those who
wandered away in 1908.
The contest for control OF the
Senate will be close. The Senate
at the last session was made up
OF twenty-seven Republicans and
90 Democrats. The Democrats
have the best OF it this year, Sena-
tors 70 start with, while the Re-
publicans have ten. Twenty-six
members are to be elected.
Eight of the districts ir which
elections will occur are reliably
Republican and i've are reliably
Democratic. This leaves thirteen
districts as fighting ground.
The Democrats, to start with
can count. therefore on nineteen
members of the Senate and the
Republicans on eighteen The
Republicans in the thirteen SEN
al rial districts, which form the
battle ground will make every
effort to get together and elect
men who will vote TO return
Senator Beveridge.
