The DEMOCRATS STAND
fine SHOW TO CONTROL
The NEXT u. s. SENATE
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Washington, ID. C., Apr. 4.-Dem-
ocrats, already in control of the
house, believe they will have a ma
Jority in the next senate.
The democratic gains of last fall,
with the factional troubles within
the Republican ranks, has given rise
to a feeling of expectation among
the Democratic leaders that they will
rot only increase their majority in
go house, but will gain control of
"a senate, as a result of the cleo
ion 70 be held next November.
M appearance of four new sem
ttu.s 80 from New Mexico and two
rom Arizona. does not help either
a..J., t,r New Mexico is sending up
y --epublicans and Arizona two
Democrats. With the arrival of
aese four senators the upper branch
will stand as follows: Republicans.
81; Democrats. "A; vacancies. / The
vacancy is in the state of Colorado,
where Senator Charles j. Hughes
died, thus costing the Democracy one
of its ablest members, and the leg
islatare, although Democratic, could
not get together on a man before its
adjournment
On March 3 next, so senators will
retire TO private life If they have not
meanwhile been reelected by the leg
islatures of their several states. The
outgoing list numbers II Republi-
cans and IS Democrats. Among
them are some of the most influen-
tial members of the upper house on
the Democratic side, as well as on the
Republican side.
The II Republicans are: Cullom
of Illinois, Nelson of Minnesota, Rich
ardson of Delaware, Wetmore of
Rhode Island, Warren of Wyoming.
Smith of Michigan, Kenyon of Iowa.
Guggenheim of Colorado. Gamble of
South Dakota, Dixon of Montana.
Curtis of Kansas, Crane of Massa-
chusetts, Burnham of New Hamp-
shire, Brown of Nebraska. Briggs of
New Jersey, Bourne of Oregon and
Borah of Idaho.
Democratic senators whose terms
expire next March are: Davis of Ar
kansas, Bacon of Georgia. Paynter of
Kentucky, Foster of Louisiana, Gard
ner of Maine. Percy of Mississippi.
Simmons of North Carolina, Owens
of Oklahoma, Tillman of South Car
olina, Taylor of Tennessee. Bailey of
Texas, Martin of Virginia, and Wat
son of West Virginia.
OF the Is Democrats several are
already assured of reelection. and
of the remainder the majority are
certain to be succeeded by Demo-
Gratis. Maine and West Virginia are
the only two states in which there
appears to be possibility of the
Democratic senators being succeeded
by Republicans. The Republicans in
Maine believe that the Democrats, de-
spite their victory of last year. will
not be able to elect the legislature
This fall. Senator Gardner was ap-
pointed by the Democratic governor
to fill out the term of the late SEN
ator Frye.

for next season is the best group
that could possibly be picked. The
Ben Greet players are a group OF
artists who do not merely play Shake
speare but interpret him. They go
back to the time of Shakespeare him
self. Katherine Ridgway is second
to none as a reader, an interpreter
and as a humorist, said Adrian New

night at the Auditorium.
Ralph Bingham is at the top of
the heap of humorists," continued
Mr.. Newens He not only is a hu-

The Strollers you can Judge for
yourselves. From my viewpoint they
are exceptionally good.
THE man who heads this whole
list is Judge George d. Alden. He is

publican state, the leader of that
party are hopeful that they will be
able TO unseat Senator Watson, who
is filling the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Elkins, who must
come up for reelection next winter
The possible gains on the Demo-
cratic side of the senate are believed
TO be considerably in excess of their
possible losses. First of all, they are
confidently counting on Democratic
senator to succeed Guggenheim of
Colorado, who will not be a candid
ate for reelection. The last Col
orado legislature was Democratic and
the Democrats believe the next one
will be the same complexion. An
other Democratic gain is expected to
be contributed by the neighboring
state of Wyoming as a result of the
serious split between the insurgent
and standpat Republicans.
Two other Republican senator's
whom the Democrats hope to sup
plant are Dixon of Montana. and
Richardson of Delaware. The fight
between the Republican factions in
Idaho makes that state interesting
ground. The indications are that
Senator Borah will have no opposi-
ton for the Republican nomination.
but the activity of the Democrats
and their success in electing the
governor last year make ii appear
that Democratic successor to Mr..
Borah is among the possibilities.
New Jersey, which will choose a
successor to Senator Briggs, is also
regarded by the Democrats as hope
full ground.

On Monday evening while the Elks

to extract as much enjoyment out of
