The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1914-10-26

Democrat, and cambridge Colby. Pro-
gressive. Wadsworth has been Speaker
of the lower house OF the State Legis-
lature, and has been inclined toward
progressivism. Gerard is the present
United States ambassador at Berlin.
Colby is wealthy lawyer. who was of
the inner circle OF the Roosevelt crowd
two years ago. All the reports agree
that the Progressives in tho State will
not be an important factor in the cleo
ton.
In Ohio, Theodore Z. Burton, after n
long career as member of the House
OF Representatives and one term in the
Senate, elected to go back to private
| life, and so the Republicans OF the State
had to hunt FOR a new senatorial candi-
date. They nominated Warren G. Hard
ing. former Observation-Disclosures The
Democratic candidate is Timothy S..
Hogan, the present Attorney General
of the state. while the Progressives are
running A. l.. Garford.
The contest In Pennsylvania has at
tracted nationwide attention because
! of the candidacy OF Boise Penrose. Re-
publican, who Is seeking reelection.
Penrose says himself that he Is sesking
vindication. The Democrats picked A..
Mitchell Palmer. a member of the House
of Representatives. Tho Progressive
nominee is Clifford F!nchot. who was
United States Forester during the
Roosevelt regime.
Up in Vermont a rather interesting
contest has developed, as result OF
Charles II. Prouty, former member OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
getting into the race The Republicans
| renominated William L. Dillingham;.
who has been a member Of the Senate
| since 1900. Prou;y wanted the Repub-
lican nomination, and calling to get 1t
ne accepted the nomination of the Pro-
grcssives. The Democrats nominated
Charles d. Watson. but after that had
been done the Democratic State Com
mittee formally Endorsed the candidacy
OF Prouty.
So the race Sc really between billing
ham and Prouty. and from all accounts
II liz close enough TO be interesting.
The outcome OF tho conteat In Wis
] consin viii depend, go representatives
| OF the State say. on where the indie
pendent vote goes. Isaac Stephenson
| who came to the Senate in 1907 as n
! Republican, did not care for 4 re-elec-
ton. and so the Republicans nominated
| Fra e. McGovern, the present gov
ernor OF the State. McGovern was for
merly one of Senator La Follette's lieu
tenants. but he became infatuated with
| the Roosevelt moveme emit two years ago
| and broke away from La Toilette. Now
| he is back In the Republican party,
! The Democratic nominee Is Paul A,
| Hustinps. The Progrcssives are not In
the race The situation seems to be
that the La Toilette following. which
is very strong. is not satisfied with
| either NcGovera or Hastings, and
| there Is much speculation as to where
it will land on election day.
Out in Washington State Wesley L.
| Jones. Republican, has stubborn OPP
| ponent in William z. Black. Democrat
| the Progressives in the State have
nominated one Ole Hanson.
