In matters political the presidential
candidates and the campaign fund in
yestigation had to share interest last
week with some important primaries.
The results of these were not. salts
factory to the upholders of President
Wilson's draft of the league covenant,
for their opponents scored in three
states, widely separated. In New
Hampshire United States Senator
Moses, who is one of the 'irreconcil-
ables," was renominated by the Re-
publicans, having majority of 1000
over FL. L. Spaulding in a total vote
OF $4,000. Spaulding advocated a
league with the Lodge reservations;
what may have counted more, he was
opposed to woman suffrage.
Georgia's Democratic primaries re-
suited In the nomination of Thomas E.
watson, former Populist, for United
States senator. His opponents were
Senator Hoke Smith and Gov. Hugh
Dorsey, the latter making the race as
an administration candidate and &C.
cepting the league as submitted by
president Wilson. Watson has been
an open foe of the administration and
opposes the league in any form.
A third test was In Wisconsin. where
the Republicans renominated Senator
Irvine L. Lenroot, a Lodge reservation
list.
Senator Brandegee was renominated
by the Republicans of Connecticut, and
senator Marcus Smith by the Demo-
Gratis Of Arizona.
