The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-10-12

70 va Hi"' All hNS COHie from states
that are solidly Democratic and as
the Democrats in each of the states
have voted for the return of the sena-
tor his reelection in each case is as
sured.
In many of the other states it is
equally certain that the incumbent
will not be returned to the senate.
Senators Guggenheim of Colorado,
Crane of Massachusetts, Bailey of
Texas and Wetmore of Rhode Island
declines to become candidates for an
other term. Bailey of Texas will be
succeeded by Congressman Morris
Sheppard. Colorado voters of all
parties have expressed their prefer
ences in the primary for the success
sor of Senator Guggenheim and also
for the successor of the late Senator
Hughes. In Massachusetts and Rhode
Island the selections are yet to be
made
The fate of Senator Richardson of
Delaware is, in doubt. Borah of Idaho
has been Endorsed for reelection by
his own party. Cullom of Illinois, was
defeated in the primaries. His sue
cessor will be L. Y. Sherman (R) or
J. Hamilton Lewis CD. Senator Ken
yon has been named for reelection
by the Republicans of Iowa; Curtis
of Kansas was defeated in the pri-
maries. He will be succeeded by Gov
ernor Stubs (R) or Hugh Farrelly
(D). Ollie James has been named to
succeed Senator Paynter of Kentucky.
Senator Foster of Louisiana will be
succeeded by Congressman Joseph E.
Ransdell Senator Gardner CD, of
Maine, will give way to former Con-
gresham Edwin c. Burleigh (R).
Senator William Allen Smith has been
Endorsed for reelection by Michigan
Republicans. If the Democrats con-
troll the next legislature Senator
Smiths successor will be Alfred Luck
ing of Detroit. Knute Nelson of Min
nesota has been re-nominated by the
Republicans. If the legislature goes
Democratic his successor will be Dan
lei Lawler of st. Paul. Senator Per-
cy of Mississippi already has given
way to former Governor Vardaman.
The reelection of Dixon of Montana
depends upon the success of the third
party in his state, which party has in
dorsed him. The regular Republi-
cans have put another candidate in the
field. Senator Norris Brown of Ne
braska was defeated in the Republi-
can primaries by Congressman George
w. Norris. In the event of democratic
success in Nebraska the next senator
will be former Governor Shallenbar-
ger. Senator Briggs is the choice of
New Jersey Republicans for re-elec- !
ton. In the event of democratic sue
cess the Briggs toga will fall upon
the shoulders of former Congressman |
Hughes. Senator Simmons of North |
Val OlIud Will nave 10 VIII out III a not !
three-cornered fight. Senator Bourne
of Oregon was defeated in the pri-
maries but may seek reelection as
an independent. Thomas Sterling is
the choice of South Dakota Republi-
cans to succeed Senator Gamble. The
activity of the Progressives, however,
has badly muddled the South Dakota
situation and it is doubtful who will
control the legislature Tennessee
will take a preference vote on the reg
ular election day, November 5, to de-
eide who shall succeed Newell Saun-
ders, the Republican appointee of |
Governor Hooper, in the senate. The |
successor of Senator Watson of West |
Virginia is yet to be decided. Senator |
Warren of Wyoming has been re-nom-
mated by the Republicans. John B. |
Hendricks has been Endorsed by the |
Democrats.
