,,tors by the various state legrsla-
' ' to complete the upper house of
tho sixtysecond congress. The new

tte deaths Of Senator Dolliver Of Iowa
JpenubIlcau) Senator Thompson of
North Dakota (Democrat) and Sena-
Ia, CLAY of Georgia (Democrat), max
inc total Of SO to be elected. OF
tho g. II will be Republicans and 16
nemocrats. representing a gain of
nine seats for the Democrats and one
for the Republicans.
The states where the senatorial
toga will fail from Republican to Dem
ocratic shoulders are Indiana. Ne
braska Montana, New York, Ohio,
Nav Jersey, Maine, West Virginia and
Missouri.
The one Republican gain occurred
in North Dakota, where Republican
successor will be chosen to complete
the unexpired term of the late Sena-

ature of this state will also elect an
other United States senator to sue
coed Porter J. McCumber, whose term

John Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
to succeed Senator Money, and Carol

Senator Daniel of Virginia expires
this March, and as the regular session
Of the Virginia legislature does not
convene until 1912, either a special
session will be called to elect his sue

bis seat until next year.
No successor will be chosen to the
late Senator McEnery of Louisiana
until 1912. His seat is at present be-
ing filed by j. R. Thornton, who was

While the people of few of the
states have indicated their senatorial
preference through a direct primary,
there are bitter contests being carried
Oh in the majority of the states where
tae senatorial vacancies occur. New

worth, Kan, and Charles w. Morse,
the former New York banker, who is
serving a fifteen year sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta. Ga, have
been denied pardons BY President
TAFT
Permission is given by the president
20 Morse 10 renew his application for
pardon after Jan. /. 1913, As Walsh
is eligible for parole after next Sep.
tember, when he Will have served two
thirds OF his sentence. the president
refused TO take any action whatever
In his case.
The efforts OF Mrs. Morse in her hus-
bands behalf have been indefatigable,
and although she is greatly disap.
pointed az the decision OF President
Taft. she will continue her efforts to
have her husband liberated.
In deciding against Morse and
Walsh the president has resisted the
most powerful influences that have
been brought TO bear upon him on any
subject since he entered the White
House. In a long memorandum an.
n~ouncing his rejection OF the applica-
tons he refers to the influential and
prominent persons who have petit
toned in behalf OF the prisoners, and
adds that they apparently fail TO APP
prcciate the high importance to so
ciety that such criminal breaches OF
trust as Morse and Walsh are guilty
OF should b. severely punished, In
the cas- Of Morse the prisoners wife
presented a petition bearing the names
OF about 10000 persons, including
many in political life. while in Walsh's
case the requests for clemency also
came from many we'll known in poll
tics, society and business.
The president In his opinion lays
down certain principles concerning
the violation OF the national banking
laws in considering the Walsh case.
and then applies these principles to
the Morse appeal.
The president holds that both men
were guilty in proportion 10 the trust
and confidence placed in them. He
points out the necessity of the govern
ment's emphasizing the difference be-
tween honest business and dishonest
breache sol trust particularly be-
cause the present mad rush for
wealth" has dimmed the lines between
profit from legitimate business and
improper gain from undue use Of trust
control over other peoples property
and money"
