Fighting Ground Is Narrowed
1t will thus be seen that there VIII
be senatorial elections In 10 states
that are now represented by Repub-
leans and in II states that are nov
represented by Democrats. The sem
atorial fighting ground is admittedly
rather narrow. AS the politicians in
the two parties figure it out, there are
not to exceed four states now repre-
sented by Republicans in which there
Is a chance for the opposition to win
and not more than three states repre-
senFed by the Democrats i'm which the
opposition will have much of chance
to elect. According to this view, the
fighting ground is limited to seven Of
the thlrty-two states that will elect
senators. The four states now rep
resented by Republican senator
whose term will expire, in which there
will be sharp contests are New York
Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, while the
three states now represented by Dem
ocrats in which there will be sharp
fighting, according to the politicians,
are Maryland, Colorado and Kentucky,
Practically all of the 33 senator's
whose terms will expire the fourth of
Rext March desire to be reelected.
Indeed, the only one of the 30 who
has said that he will not be a candI-
date for reelection Is Senator Sher
man Of Illinois.
President Woodrow Wilson In
his big touring car is once more a
familiar figure In The streets Of the
national capital. For more than five
months not to exceed II score Of per
sons outside his Immediately family
and the attaches of the White House
got a glimpse Of him. Now he enters
his automobile every other day
promptly at 10 a. m. at the south or
private entrance to the White House
and a minute later passes out OF the
White House grounds through the

touring car containing six secret sery-
ice men. Since the hour Of his de-
parture on these outings has become
generally known there Is nearly al
ways a crowd made up of people who
live here, and tourists, gather about
the gate TO see him 80 out. In a week
or two more the local population viii
no longer be represented In this gath
erlng, and the out-Of-town folk will
make up the crowd.
The president appears TO enjoy get.
ting in touch with the public once
more even to the extent permitted by
his physician As he starts out on his
morning drives there Is always an cy-
preston Of pleasure on his cOuntc-
nance Ms the crowd phys its respects
TO him. Several times during the last
two weeks he has directed the chauf-
feur to stop his car just outside the
White House grounds so as to afford
the photographers chance to take"
him. That the president is not sol a
we'll man Is indicated by the rule
which his physician has laid down
governing these outings.
Allowed to Break Rule.
The rule IS that he may 20 out I'm
an open automobile, provided he
