| the Senate majority into the hands or
himself and his supporters.
All the states above mentioned. with
the exception OF West Virginia, are now
represented in the United States Senate
by Republicans. Governor Wilson would
not say which of them he expected would
send Democrats to Washington. His
| friends, however, predict that the Gov
ernor himself Will carry New Jersey,
Iowa, Colorado (where two Senators are
to be chosen. Montana and Nevada, and
II is in these states. It is whispered. that
Governor Wilson and his friends expect
TO make their gain In the United States
Senate.
! West Virginia in Doubt.
| So far as West Virginia Is concerned
the return OF Senator Watson, who is a
| Democrat, is by no means assured, Cor
reports from there indicate that both
President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt
are very strong. especially the colonel.
and II is the Progressives friends who
expect TO control the Legislature and send
one OF his supporters-it may turn out TO
| be Governor Glasscock-to the United
States Senate.
The contest in Montana is perhaps the
most interesting Of them all. for that Is
the state OF Senator Joseph Dixon, Colonel
| Roosevelt's campaign manager whose
term soon expires; and IL the Democrats
capture the Legislature and send one OF
| their number In his place II will be hailed
as almost as big victory as the defeat
Of Colonel Roosevelt by Governor Wilson.
Another state in which stanch Roose-
welt champion comes up for reelection Is
| Idaho, where the term Of Senator William
Borah expires. Here. too, the Democrats
expect Governor Wilson to carry the state
him.
! In New Jersey, however, the Democrats
apparently are not as cocksure Of the
election Of a Democratic Legislature as
! they would have people believe, and It is
not at all guess work TO say that II they
are able to send Judge William Hughes to
the United States Senate In place OF
Frank o. Briggs, the present Republican
| incumbent, they will be agreely surprised.
II isn't the custom usually for q Presi-
Dental candidate to devote the greater
| part of the last week Of his campaign TO
! his home state In an effort 10 bring about
! the selection Of a Legislature of the same
! political belief as his, yet this is what
! Governor Wilson purposes doing this
week, ending his Presidential campaign
with speech Monday night at some place
/ in New Jersey not yet fixed.
