Nelson w. Aldrich Among Those Who
Will Ask for States Endorsement
TO Increase Attendance
at West Point.
Notwithstanding Republican sena-
tors who voted against the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill and who fought many
Of its provisions from the very be-
ginning of the debate hope that in
one years time their ranks will be
fuller than they are today. for they
say they expect that from one or two
| states there will come senators Of
their way of thinking to add to what
they call the anti-organization strength
In the upper house.
The Democrats hope and seemingly
believe that their ranks are to be re-
cruited largely as result of the
senatorial elections in the different
state legislatures next winter. Every
second year there is an influx Of new
senators into congress or an influx OF
old senators who have been lucky
enough to be reelected The list of
members of the upper house whose
terms will expire at midnight March
3, 1911, is Il long one, and it runs as
follows:
Democrats-James p. Taliaferro,
Florida; Isador Rayner. Maryland;
fernando D. Money, mississippi:
James r. Frazier, Tennessee; John
W. Daniel, Virginia: Charles A. Cul-
berson. Texas.

souri,; George Sutherland. Utah; Ma.

Republicans to Retain Control.
There is virtually no chance thai
the Democrats will obtain control o.
no To - % o.,Sr
elections There are too many Away:
Republican states to choose their rep
resentatives in the upper house tt
give much basis for any Democrat,
hope that the present great majorit!
against them can be overcome Maine
1t may be, will not return Eugene
Hale to the senate, but admittedly OF
all sides Mr.. Hales chances of com
ing back are bright, although there Il
fight being waged against him il
; the home state. If Mr.. Hale by an.
) chance should be defeated his plac,
will not be taken by Democrat, blu
by some Republican whom the peopl
Of Maine will think more nearly rer
resents what they consider the Pre-
gressiye Republican tendency Of tn
age.
Aldrich Sure to Come Back.
Senator Aldrich, the Republican
leader, Is certain to be returned t
the senate II he lives. No Democra
has made any claim OF possibilit
of Mr.. Aldrich's defeat.
New York will choose senator t
, | 40 ~
pew wants to succeed himself. but
may be that certain passages In tn
senator's life a few years ago vii
!. prevent his party from sending. hi1
back to the upper house.
To Fill up West Point.
The members of the fourth, or as |
Is called, the plebe class, have JUS
reported for admission to the Unite
: States Military academy at Yves
Point. There are only los member
of the class, and there still will b
!. $50 vacancies in the corps OF cadets
The committee on military affair
of the United States senate has jus
recommended n change in the law ref
ulating appointments to West Poin
The hope of the senators is to kee
the ranks of the cadets full and t
: obviate the necessity of appointin
every year to commissioned rank civi
ians who know little or nothing abou
the military service, and VINO have
be trained for several years befor
they are competent to command regl
{ lar troops.
: The authorized number Of cadets q
: the military academy is 533. but tn
! actual number in attendance at tn
! school falls far below this mark, tn
: deficiency being due to the fact ths
there are always existing vacancie
caused by the failure OF candidates
report or to pass tho entrance exam
inaions. or by the elimination Of c.
. diets who are found deficient in the
studies or their conduct"
