SENATE BATTLES
IN THREE STATES
INTEREST CAPITAL
Penrose, Dillingham; and
Gallinger, Survivors of Dis
credited System, Known to
Be acing Defeat.
FROM 4 STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov 8.-Three
OF the survivors of the Aldrich organiza-
uoh' which for so many years dominated
the Senate, may be retired to privato life
To-Day Dy the voters in their States in the
hrst popular election of United States
Senators. They are Boies Penrose in
Pennsylvania; William p. Dillingham;. in
Vermont and Jacob H. Gallinger, in New
Hampshire.
Dillingham's defeat is virtually con-
ceded by Republican leaders. He is op-
posed by Charles II. Prouty, formerly
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Progressive nominee in
dorsed by the Democrats. Reports re-
ceived in Washington indicate that
Prouty will win by safe majority.
Senator Dillingham; was elected in Octo-
ber 1900
In New Hampshire, Representative Ray
mond b, stevens, Democrat, has been
conducting an aggressive campaign
against Senator Gallinger. He has at
tackled Gallinger on the ground that he
Is thoroughly committed to everything re-
dictionary. He has pointed out that in
August, 1912. Galllnger and Reed smoot
OF Utah, were the only two Senators who
voted against bill prohibiting corporations
from making campaign contributions. He
also has made political capital out OF
the TACT that Gauinger voted with
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, against the inn
peachment OF Judge Robert w. Archibald
and that he voted against the measure
for the creation OF the Children's Bureau
and against the resolution offered by
Senator La Toilette In August, 1912, pro-
Yiding for an investigation of the charges
against Senator Penrose in connection
with his dealings with the Standard OIL
Company.
Palmer's campaign against Penrose, in
PENNSYLVANIA. has attracted greater at
tenticn throughout the nation, however
than have the contests against Dilling-
ham, I'm Vermont, and GRllinger, In New
Hampshire. In fact, one Of the chief
accusations against the New England
Senators has been that they have been
found voting with Penrose on legislative
matters.
II Ponrose Is reelected to the Senate,
his title TO his seat after March net
Is certain TO be challenged by the Demo-
Gratis and independent Republicans like
Norris OF Nebraska; Kenyon, OF Iowa,
and Clapp, OF Minnesota When Congress
reconvenes In December, Senator Norris
will insist that the Privileges and EIeo-
TORS Committee report to the Senate his
resolution providing for Investigations of
the collections and expenditures OF the
Senatorial candidates IN Illinois and
Pennsylvania. II the charges that large
sums OF money have been contributed 10
Penrose's campaign by the liquor dealers
OF Pennsylvania are proved, Senator
Penrose stands an excellent chance Of be-
ing expelled from the Senate.
