SENATE MIGHT
Be CARRIED BY
THE DEMOCRATS
Landslide Tomorrow Would
Change Political Complex.
ion Of Upper House
THIRTY SENATORS TO ELECT AND
1WEMTY.F0UR ARE REPUBLICANS
This Is Strongly in Favor Of the
Democrats as They Have So Many
More Chances-Desperate Fights by
Democrats For Some Places.

Washington, Nov. 7-Great as are
the odds against such contingency,
a general political landslide Tues.
day might result in a Democratic
senate as we'll as Democratic house.
OF the ninety-two senator's. there are
thirty whose terms will expire March
4. and in a majority of these states.
legislatures will be chosen at the ap-
proaching election which will fill
these seats.
or the thirty expiring SENATOR
ships, twenty-four are held by Repub.
licans. circumstance unusually pro-
pitious for the Democrats as it gives
them proportionately more opportuni-
ties for gain. The Republican .sena-
tors, whose terms will expire are:
Aldrich of Rhode Island; Bever-
idge Of Indiana. Bulkeley of Connecti-
cut. Burkett of Nebraska, Burrows of
Michigan, Carter of Montana, Clapp
Of Minnesota, Clark of Wyoming, De-
pew of New York, Dick Of Ohio, Du-
pont Of Delaware, Flint of Califor-
mia, Hale of Maine. Kean Of New Jer-
sey, LaFollette Of Wisconsin, Lodge of
Massachusetts, McCumber of North
Dakota. Nixon of Nevada, Oliver of
pennsylvania, Page of Vermont Piles
OF Washington, Scott Of West Virginia,
Sutherland of Utah and Warner of
Missouri.
The Democrats are making vigorous
fights for many of these places, but
the, Republicans are so strongly in
trenched that nothing less than
revolution could insure success in
sufficient number of cases to insure
Democratic control in the upper
house. The Republican majority is
now twenty-four and in order to at
tain such control it would be neces-
sary for the Democrats to gain four
teen of the twenty-four Republican
seats and in addition hold all of the
six seats now occupied by Democrats.
The Democratic senators, who
either must retire or be rechosen be-
tween now and March 4 are:
Culberson of Texas, Frazier of Ten
nessee, Money of Mississippi, Rayner
of Maryland. Swanson Of Virginia and
Taliaferro OF Florida and Purcell of
North Dakota.
Even though the Democrats do not
gain control. the senate of the next
congress will be vastly changed
body. In addition to Senator Daniel,
Senator's Dolliver CT Iowa and Nc
Emery of Louisiana have died since
the adjournment of congress last
June and their places probably will
be filled during the coming session
No selection has been made in Iowa.
Action has been taken in Louisiana
but complications are expected to
arise in connection with the vacancy
from that state.
OF the Republicans whose terms
will expire in March 1t is known that
several will not come back. Among
them are Messrs. Aldrich, Hale, Flint,
Piles and Warner, all of whom have
refused to stand for reelection, and
Senator Burrows, who was defeated
in the Michigan senatorial primaries.
Among the Democrats, Senator
Moneys face will be missed. His
successor In the person of John
Sharp Williams. former Democratic
house leader, was chosen by the Miss
sissippi legislature a/short time ago
when Mr.. Money refused to be can
didate to succeed himself.
, Senator Taliaferro occupies an
anomalous position. Defeated at the
primary polls for denomination by
Governor Broward. another chance
has been opened to him by the death
Of Mr.. Broward before the legisla-
ture could meet and ratify the ac-
tion Of the primaries. If Senator
Taylor should be elected governor of
Tennessee. another complication
would arise.
Senator Page of Vermont is the
an -, ec s-k..
terms expire in March, and who al
ready has received q. reelection.
