Next Year


troll OF the upper house Of the ma
tional legislature from the Demo
cratic party. 3D.
A careful study OF present polite
nj conditions In the states wher,
these elections are to be held indi
Gates rather strongly that the Demo
Gratis will return sufficient number
OF their candidates to maintain 8
majority. though Republicans and
Prosressives claim an advantage In 8
few OF the states which the Demo.
Gratis say will certainly elect Demo.
cratic senators.
Because Of the wide interest be.
ing taken all over the country In
these senatorial elections few facts
are herewith presented that may aid
Colorado people In forming an un.
biased opinion as to what the result.

Both Republicans and Progressves
claim excellent chances to return
their candidates victorious in Colo
RADIO. In Louisiana the Progressive
party has developed exceptional
siren 9Th through defections from the
Democratic ranks. chiefly because of
the free sugar provision placed in
the tariff bill by the Democratic
congress. In Missouri the Repub-
licaus believe they have good
chance to elect senator, though The
state is normally Democratic, and
the strength Of the Progressives in
1912 would indicate that they will
draw heavily from the Republican
this year. Though Senator Bradley
of Kentucky is Republican, it
seems to be pretty generally conccd-
ed that Democrat will be elected
to succeed him.
Both Democrats and Progressives
claim to have a chance in Kansas.
1t is generally conceded. however.
that the man elected will be either a
Republican or a Progressive.
The senate is now made up of fif-
ty-three Democrats. forty-two Re-
publicans and one Progressive, Miles
Poindexter of Washington. Of the
senators whose terms do not expire
in 1915. there are thirty-seven
Democrats. twenty-six Republicans
and one Progressive. If the Demo-
Gratis win In the 13 states where
they claim their success is assured.
and lose in all other states. they will
still have fifty senator's, as against
forty-six for the opposition. On the
other hand, if they should lose in
Colorado and Missouri and win in
none Of the doubtful states. they
would have forty-eiglt. or just one
half the total number.
