NEGLECTING THE SENATORIAL

Ono thing seems to be lost sight OF
in the present national Democratic
campaign in its relations to the States

hack to a Republican. AZ far a. we
know the campaign directors PAID
little. II any, heed to the necessity OF
returning a Democratic Senator from
Maine. Apparently. the directors dio
not see to it that the strongest avail

II would be disastrous, indeed, II

IN he confronted with q Republican
Congress. A Republican majority OF
even one in the Senate would be
enough to hold up progressive legisla-
ton and send the Democratic party
back to the country unsuccessful In Its
attempt to fulfill the promises Of Its
platform to the people. This fact tho
directors of the Democratic campaign
seem to have overlooked, for. besides
making no especial effort to re-elect
Senator Gardner. they permitted Gov
ernor Wilson to go through Illinois
where two Senators are to be elected
without saying a word as to the sena-
torial race. and they evidently are not
going to send him into Colorado where
two more Senators are to be elected.
