ate. And the leaders believe that
play the game with the Senate.
To leaders in both parties the
Senate is regarded as much closer
in the next elections than the
presidency Many of them admit
the possibility of the presidential
election going to one party and
the opposition controlling the Sen
ate by a narrow majority. In most
elections the tail goes with the
hide as the saying is, but the
situation is unusual this time
There is Indiana, for example; at
present republican state. since in
the Congress elections OF 1913 the
state returned a solid republican
delegation to the House of Repre-
sentatives. not democratic caadi- 3
date for Congress having a Look

servers know that Thomas Tag
gart. the democratic candidate for
senator. is giving republican Sena-
tor Watson a mighty close race.
and that certain local conditio
render it at least possible for In
diana to give its electoral vote to
Harding and send Thomas Taggart
to the Senate.
Republicans Claim ADVANTAGE.
This is only one state among sew
eral presenting somewhat similar
condition. AS an offset to pos
sible gain in Indiana, the demo-
Gratis are confronted by the pos
sibility of losing in one or more of
the western states. The republi-
will gain more than the democrats
in the countrywide contest for
senatorships as the cards are fail
ing now. But. if they do. there will
still be varying shades of opinion
among them on the league of ma
tions, to be resolved only by the
actual voting in the Senate when
the treaty comes up for ratifica-
tion.
So upon the candidates for the
senatorships will fall the burden
in this campaign of Specifying"
on the league of nations. The
party platforms may be construed
variously; the presidential candi-
dates positions may be subject to
dispute to fitsindividual interpreta-
tions, and all that sort of thing.
But the candidate for senator, the
man who is to help ratify or reject
the pending treaty, or add reserva-
tions. or what not. will be called
upon to explain his intentions to
the voters in the coming campaign.
make that explanation very clear

three years. President Wilson's flock
OF sheep is to be sold within a few

eight pounds of wool for more than

said. clearly Indicate the slender

''The blame for exorbitant prices
lies in the activity of coterie of

The SPECTATORS have obtained only

Interstate Commerce Commission now
stimulating the movement of coal to

concluded the statement. the bitum-

coal shortage crisis soon will be
Strengthened out. The effective work
ing Of this program will depend
; upon full cooperation by the rail-
roads, which has been assured, and,
at the same time, the faithful dis
charge by the mine workers of the
obligation imposed upon them under
the wage agreements made last
spring to stick at their work and dig
the coal the country needs.
Just as soon as the-new program
is in practical working operation,
which will take some days, abnormal
market conditions will disappear,
high speculative prices in the open
market VIII vanish and the public
will have no fear for fuelless winter"
