New England and the Atlantic Coast.

In making bird 's-eye view of the
whole country in connection with these
approaching elections it is natural to
begin with New England and the At
lantic coast
Elections will be held in Vermont,
New Hampshire, and Connecticut. SEN
ator Dillingham;, if he should decide to
be a\candidate. will certainly be elected
in the frst-named State. Senator Gal
linger, of New Hampshire, will not run
again. He is seventy years old and has
been in public life forty years AS to
his successor, everything depends upon
whether the Republicans can unite.
Winston Churchill, the novelist, would
like TO come 10 the Senate as a Pro-
gressive, but should he become can
didate it is certain that New Hamp-
shire would send Democrat to the
Senate, just as Senator Hollis was
chosen two years ago. In Connecticut
Senator Brandegee ought TO be re-
elected. He is personally popular, the
Progressive movement is not serious,
and the State has been hit hard BY the
new Democratic tariff law. In New
England. therefore, the Republicans
ought TO hold their own, with the ex-
ception of the possible loss of New
Hampshire
Along the Atlantic coast the States
in which elections will be held are New
York, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida. The last four
will certainly return Democrats. No
serious opposition has yet developed to
Senator Overman in North Carolina or
Senator Hoke Smith in Georgia. Sem
ator Ellison Smith is having a warm
contest with Gov. Cole Blease, who, if
he comes to the Senate, will be more
picturesque than TiIIman in the latter's
iiveliest days. In Florida Senator
Fletcher is not without rivals, but his
friends are confident of his success.

For Mr.. Swinton, Charles A. Dana
had great liking and appreciation. He
loved to chat for half hour with the
brilliant and yet eccentric Scotchman.
Sometimes they disagreed. but 1t was
usually disagreement that was en-

was fond of drawing Uncle John-as
he always called Mr.. Swinton-out.
II never knew Mr.. Dana to hesitate

answer was always delivered upon the

up a newspaper story which Mr.. Dana
had asked him to investigate. Some
emergency had occurred: i think resig-

Widespread interest in the Campaigns.

Each one of the campaigns thus
briefly alluded to in this panoramic
view of the Senatorial contest is
worthy of chapter to itself. The is
sues involved in each State, the frank
ness with which the claims of the va
rious candidates are being discussed,
the efforts which are being made to
secure popular approvaLall these fac
tors are full of interest.
The net result of the outcome is
likely to be an increase in the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate. The d.
vision in the Republican ranks has not
been healed, and as long as it exists the
party cannot hope to achieve substan-
tial victories. No one can tell what will
happen in the next few months, but
certainly at the present time there is
no widespread dissatisfaction with the
Democratic administration. As long
as this condition continues the Demo-
Gratis may reasonably be expected to
poll their full party strength and the
Republicans can hardly hope to win -un-
less they present to their political
enemy a united front. -

Illinois As a Battle Ground.

There is certain TO be hotly con-
tested three-cornered struggle in ILL.,
nois Between Senator Lawrence Y.
Sherman, Republican; Roger c. Sulli-
van, Democrat, and Frank G. Allen,
Progressive
The first two named will have to
meet rivals within their own parties,
but are likely to win the nomination.
All the Progressivcs have practically
withdrawn in favor of Mr.. Allen, a
millionaire plow manufacturer of Mo-
line. While the Roosevelt crowd in
Illinois is not as numerous as it used
to be it is still strong enough to seri-
ously hurt the Republican party, and
this is the foundation for the belief
that the Democratic candidate for the
Senate is likely to secure the plurality
on election day. There are interesting
runors 10 the effect that the Lincoln
Republican League, which has an es-
tablished headquarters and an active
propaganda. is really machine work
ing in the interest of ex-senator Lori
mer. He has not announced himself
as candidate, and IT is difficult to see
how he can hope to be successful. At
the same time, the possibility of his
entrance into the race is matter of
political gossip and illustrates the Gu
rious situation which exists in Illinois.
The confusion which surrounds con-
ditions in Kansas is we'll known. The
Republicans have two candidates-Sen-
ator Bristow and ex-senator Curtis
while Representative Murdock is the
Progressive candidate. With the Re-
publicans thus sadly divided, any DEM
ocrat ought to win, unless, indeed, the
Democrats fail to take advantage of
the situation, In Iowa the conditions
are little better from Republican
point of view. No one has yet ap-
peared to contest the Republican nomi-
nation with Senator Cummins. nor has
any Progressive of national reputation
announced his Candidacy. Representa-
tive Pepper, if he had lived, would have
sought the Democratic nomination, and
Representatives Wade and Connolly
are credited with aspirations. Senator
cummins. with his progressive ideas,
his record as governor, and his service
to the State as Senator, ought to make
a good race.

preventing the State administration
from becoming Democratic. The Re
publicans do not despair of carrying
the State.
In Washington the two Progressive
Representatives, Falconer and Bryan,
are inclined to make the race for the
Senatorship, but the fight will be really
between Senator Wesley-L. Jones and
ex-senator Turner. with The chances in
favor of the nomination and election of
Mr.. Jones, who is Republican. In
Nevada Senator Ncwlands will have
hard fight to be reelected, and Sena-.
tor Marcus A. Smith. although he has
an easier road to travel in Arizona,
must meet conditions caused by the
new tariff. In Idaho and North and
South Dakota the political complexion
of the Senatorships ought not to be
changed. Representative Burke, of
South Dakota, is one of the many can
didates.

Pennsylvania and he Middle West.


Pennsylvania offers striking con-
-trast to New York In the Keystone
State the Senatorial issue is exceeding
ly alive.
In 1919 Pennsylvania was one of the
strongest Bull Moose States in the
Union. Last year it had swung back
toward normal Republican, conditions
and Senator Penrose, who had been
discredited and overlhrown, took heart
and plunged earnestly into his CAM
paign for reelection. Now there is
another change. Opposition to Mr..
Penrose has developed in unexpected
quarters. 1t may be that his displace-
ment will be the price which will be
paid for the complete reunion of the
Republicans. There are thousands of
Pennsylvanians who are sincere Repub-
licans and yet who do not like the
Penrose domination. This fact does
not appear to have dawned upon Gif-
ford Pinchot, Progressive candidate for
Senator, who is engaged in the pleas
ant task of denouncing the Republican
party, when, as matter of fact, the
popular grievance is not so much
against the principles of the party as it
is against the men who are its bosses.
Whether Mr.. Penrose will see his way
clear to step aside is a matter of Sc
rious doubt.
In Ohio the chances favor a Demo-
cratic successor to Mr.. Burton, especial
ly if Mr. Garfield is the Progressive
Senatorial candidate There is consid-
cradle third party sentiment in the
State, and Mr.. Burton. although his
ability is conceded. is not attractive to
the masses-and it is the masses who
are to elect Senators in the future. In
diana ought also to return a Democrat,
although there e.is certain to be a fight
between Senator Shively and Thomas
Taggart for the nomination. The in
dications are that former Senator Bev-
eridge will not enter the race, but there
will be no lack of Progressive candi-
dates. They are of the caliber that
welcomes defeat merely for the fun OF
making fight.
In Kentucky the contest is between
Representative Stanley and ex-Gov.
Beckham, the former representing the
Progressive and the latter the stand
pat wing OF the Democratic party.
Whichever wins, it will be a Democratic
gain. The Republican incumbent, SEN
ator Bradley, cannot be reelected.

morning of January 80. when the Old
