in the Senate from each Of them, and
republican success in them il by NO
means improbable. IF all Of them are
carried by the republicans and that
party holds its own in New Mexico, Min
nesota, Wyoming, Delaware, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, North Da-
kota, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Yer
mont, Washington, Utah, Michigan and
California the political overturn Of the
Senate will have been accomplished as
indicated. The practically assured
democratic seats in the Senate in the
1917 class are those from Arizona, Flor
ida, Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia
and Mississippi, with possibly doubtful
seats in Montana and Nevada.
Reduced to its last analysis. the repub-
licans must hold fifteen states and gain
eight-one of these giving two seats
in order to gain an ascendency in the up
per house, while to retain their control
of the Senate the democrats must hold
ten states, including Indiana, or eleven
states if Indiana is lost. That double
seat in Indiana may prove the pivot
upon which the control Of the Senate
during the next administration will turn.

II would seem that the present situa-
tiou in Greece cannot continue un-
changed. Elements are rife in Athens
for q revolution and it is reported that
the king has already left the capital for
Larissa, whence he can seek refuge in
donastir in case the disorders grow
more serious. The recent order demob-
ilizing the army, it is said, was forced
upon the Greek government by repre-
seutations Of the allied forces at Salon
Xxi, which have frankly feared sud
den ordering Of the Greek troops into
action in unity with the invading Bud
rarians. With the army demobilized
the king has NO assured support in an
outbreak Of popular resentment for his
pro Tsutonic policy. He has, of course,
many supporters in Greece, but there is
no assurance that they constitute . ma
iority. In truth, all indications are that his
course has been distssteful to the greater
number Of the Greek people, whose sym
pathies have from the outset Of the

and particularly hostile to Bulgaria

The Fight for the Senate.

Republican enthusiasm over the cam
paign prospects runs 30 high in some
quarters just now that the prediction is
made in tho event Of the election Of
Hughes the republicans will carry not
only the House Of Representatives, but
NE Senate. The election of republican
House to accompany q republican Presi-
Gent is fairly assured by all the laws
sf political probability, but the election
Of q republican Senate does not neces-
barily follow as a eorollary. The Sen
ate at present consists of fifty six demo
Gratis and forty republicans, 4 demo
cratic majority Of sixteen. To over
come this majority it will be necessary
for the republicans to gain nine seats,
irving them forty nine votes to forty
seven. That this is possible il evidenced
BY q study Of that table in the Congress
sional Directory which gives the CLASH
Ecations of senator's according to the
date of term expiration.
Thirty-three senators will expire" Of

with an "immediately available" clause,
before March 8 next. Without such q
clause an appropriation bridge item car
ried by one Of the regular bills would
not make the funds available for pur-
poses Of letting a contract until the first
Of July, 1917. The assured way to pre-
vent further postponement, which, in
the light Of the official reports on tho
present structure is actually dangerous
to public safety, is to pass the appro-
priation at the present session, perhaps
in one of the pending regular bills, the
funds allotted to become available upon
the adoption Of the bridge plans.

The Summer Outing Camps.

A call has been sounded for subscrip-
tons to preparedness" fund which
should be aided by every Washingtonian
who has any means to spare beyond the
meeting Of actual necessities. The time
has come again for the provision Of
money to send the mothers and children
to the summer outing camps which for
several years have been an invaluable
boon to the poor people of this city.
Cash is needed to support these camps,
to buy food and equipment for them,
and it should be assured to those who
are in charge as quickly as possible SO
that there need be no anxiety on the
score Of sustenance.
It is impossible to compute the value
to the community Of these summer out
ing camps, which have for several years
been maintained here. The plan is to
send to them poor mothers and their
children who otherwise would have no
chance to escape from the heat and the
strain Of city summer. The time they
spend in the open at Camp Good Will
and Camp Pleasant strengthens them
and enables them to extend the balance
Of the season. It builds them up ply
sically, for they have good food and
medical attention. The mothers are re-
lieved from all anxiety with the assur-
ance that those they have left home are
we'll provided for.
Every one who has ever visited these
camps in summer time has become an
ardent advocate Of their maintenance.
It should be we'll assured in advance Of
the opening Of the season that every
dollar needed to maintain the camps on
an even larger scale than heretofore
may be forthcoming promptly. The
money thus given is an investment in
community good health.

To reach the Pearly Gates.
He knows that If he will but heed
The precepts which he quotes
He can be happy and not need
A fierce campaign for votes.
He need not seek for the applause

Nor organize brass bands because
The public likes show.

Prophet and Politician.

Speaking of prophets. Col. George
Harvey, editor of the North American
Review, is not. and should not be, with
out honor in his own country. He has
scored twice in half dozen years in a
matter of the greatest national impor-
lance. A record which deserves the bays.
His first success was with Mr.. Wilson,
at that time president Of Princeton Uni
versity. 1t was he who first directed at
tention to Mr.. Wilson as a probable
political quantity, and urged him for
preferment by the democratic party.
Soon he began booming him for the
gevernorship Of New Jersey as a step
ping stone to the presidency of the
United States. The governorship reach
ed, the play for the higher place at once
began, and Cod. Harvey led it. In fact,
he became so prominent in it-so con-
spicuously the leading sponsor for Mr..
Wilson-that the latter, yielding to some
protests from anti-Harvey quarters,
called him off in way so brusque, that
Henry Watterson, who was present, was
all but paralyzed
Nevertheless, Col. Harvey continued to
predict Mr.. Wilson for the democratic
nomination for President, and after his
nomination predicted his election.
But Mr.. Wilson as President failed to
come up to Col. Harvey's idea of what
the Office and the opportunity called for,
and the colonel, although a good demo
crat, cooled toward him.
When the Hughes movement appeared
it attracted attention in both republican
and democratic circles. Here was some
thing out Of the ordinary. Would it, or
could it, wini Many politicians puzzled
over the problem. There were many diff
ficulties to be suTmounted, and the man
himself was not, and would not become,
a candidate.
Cod. Harvey looked the situation over.
A democrat, he yet felt SO strongly
about the drift Of things he noted the
tide for Hughes, and several months ago
predicted his nomination. As he put the
matter in the leading article in the May
number Of his publication, he could see
that nobody wanted Hughes but the peo-
pie.
It so turned out. The politicians did
not nominate Mr.. Hughes. They simply
obeyed at Chicago popular sentiment
which had become irresistible. They
could not ignore it. All conferences
were futile. There was nothing to the
situation but Hughes. All roads led to
him. The people wanted him. And so
he was nominated; and there are many
prominent democrats in agreement with
Col Harvey about the significance Of the
result. Some, too, may join him in sup
porting the nominee.

Upon the whole, Mr.. Westcott bore OF
the oratorical honors at st. Louis. His
speech nominating Mr.. Wilson, while
lacking fire, did not lack finish. 1t was
q well sustained performance, and the
stronger for containing no purple
patches" It reads remarkably well.
An interest attaching to the perform.
anee grows out of the belief that Mr.
Westcott is the Presidents choice fol-
senator in succession to Mr.. MARITIME. II
that is true, one can well understand
why, in addition to the inspiration OF
personal admiration and friendship. Mr.
westcott took such pains with his ad,
dress. In a way, it was the opening
Of his senatorial campaign.
Well, Mr.. MARITIME can ely high too
He is a very entertaining and effective
speaker, and not only wants second
term, but is free from all embarrass-
ments in seeking it. So that when the
campaign opens, Westcott against Mar
tine should afford all Jersey something
to think and talk about:
Mr.. MARITIME was Mr. Wilson's choice
for senator, and in making it Mr.. Will
SON offended the Smith Nugent faction
Of the Jersey democracy, whose choice
was former Senator Smith. The breach
thus and then made has never been
closed, and it contributes an element Of
uncertainty to the Jersey equation.
As senator, Mr.. MARITIME has been his
swn man-has done his own thinking,
reached his own conclusions, and voted
accordingly. This has more than once
brought him into antagonism to the
President. but never once to the Balti-
more platform, or to his conception of
democratic principles. he has kept on
the reservation.
Here we see another change Of the
Presidents mind. He was the power be-
hind MARITIME As against Smith, and now
he figures in report as the power behind
westcott a. against MARITIME. Sufficient
unto the campaign is the favorite there

Mr.. MARITIME, however, is still Wilson
man. he favored his denomination, and
favors now his reelection. Win or lose
himself, he stands by the regular action
Of his party. His influence at home is
not in the manufacturing centers, but
among the farmers. He has studied their
interests. He speaks always in their
praise. His vocabulary, large and rich,
