daughters and Jake Hofer, IL
years old, hired boy. were the VIC
Tins.
a double -barrelled shotgun was
found in a swamp a mile north of
the farm today. Foot prints in tho
mud on shore indicated a man had
approached and thrown the gun
into the water.
Another clew was pair of blood
soaked overalls found in the kitch-
en- of the Wolf home. Yesterday i

FORECAST OF RESULTS IN
SENA TORLAL CONTEST NEXT
FALL IS GIVEN BY EXPERT

to control the political authority o.
the Mormon church as he was one
able TO do, but his fight for the
ratification of the treaty with reser-
vations regained him support in
the Mormon church. The demo-
cratic aSpirant has not yet appear
ed. Although the republican
chances are good, it is better for
the present to place Utah in the
doubtful column,
Colorado presents another fight
Of intense interest, for here the
republicans have still another
chance to win a seat by retiring
the democratic incumbent, Charles
S. Thomas. Senator Thomas has
expressed a desire to retire, par
ticularly If his party insists on
making the league of nations an
issue, ard if he does retire repub-
iican chances will improve becaus"
the democrats will be sure to ge-
into a snarl over his successor.
Wilson carried Colorado by 70, ,0O0
in 1916. but the republicans elected
Phipps senator by $500 two yeas
later This alone shows the violent
swings the state is subject to in It's
| olitical judgments.
If Senator Thomas does retire,
which is, after all. an unlikely
event, Judge Tully, Scott ana
Thomas j. O'Donnell will fight t
out for the nomination. The re
publican aspirants are Carl &.
Schuyler, a lawyer of Denver, and
Samuel J. Nicholson, of Leadville,
of wide popularity in the state, lead
all comers, with Nicholson some
what in the lead. Even though re-
publicans are hopeful Colorado
must for the present be classed in
fairness, with California and Utah
as doubtful states.
Republican victory Is about as
sure in Wisconsin as anything can
be, but Irvine L. Lenroot's chances
to succeed himself are by no means
so favorable. For denomination
Senator Lenroot is opposed by the
whole power and force of all the
combined radical and dissatisfied
elements in the state, and this in
cludes, to any one who knows Wis
consin, more elements than can be
found in any other state. This
coalition is driven on by Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, Lenroot 3
colleague, who has put up against
Lenroot James Thompson, of La
Crosse. Early victories by La Fol-
lette in the primaries make 1t ap-
pear that Lenroot, who holds his
seat by special election, is in f."
serious trouble. Whomever re-
publicans nominate will win be-
cause Wisconsin has small use for
democrats, and democratic nomina-
tions go begging.
Another state of special interest
is North Carolina, for here for the
first time since the civil war the
republicans have a chance to take
a democratic scalp worth hanging
up in the tepee. The democratic
incumbent is Senator Leo S. Over
man, well known member of the
upper house. His republican op-
ponent will be A. A. Whitener,
nominated at Greensboro last
month. He was beaten handily by
Overman in 1914, but that was SIX
years ago, and since then there has
been distinct shift in the political
colora;ion of the state.

One comes now to South Dakota,
where the democratic sitting mem
Der, Edwin S. Johnson, seeks an
other term and will be opposed by
the republican governor of the
state, Peter Norbeck. Johnson's
record in the senate has added
nothing to democratic laurels, and
has been marked by nothing what
ever except blind, deaf adherence
to the wishes of Woodrow Wilson.
He got into the senate in 1914 be-
cause of factional differences IN
the republican party. These have
largely disappeared, and in addi-
ton, the republicans this time of
fer an unusually strong man in
Governor Norbeck-a man of re-
sourcefulness and force. He was
quick to sense the menace of the
partisan league, and combat
ed it by legislation curbing it's So
sicalistic and even communists

Wood, and Woods preferential vic
tory in the state reflects in large
degree Norbeck's own strength.
South Dakota seems to be a re-

less. peculiar.
Take California. The democratic
incumbent, James u. Pnelan, who
will be unopposed for renomina-
tion, has enjoyed a mild sort of
popularity throughout the state,
and in spite of slavish wisconsin
in the treaty fight, is considered
by many persons to have made Il
pretty good senator. Then, too
putting the case in it's darkest light,
the republicans are in severe
fight with one William Kent,
former representative and extreme
radical. contesting for the nomina-
ton with Samuel Shortridge, of
San Francisco, a representative of
sane economic and political ideas.
If Shortridge wins in the primaries
of August, California will most
likely send him to the senate.
If Kent and the radicals have
their way it is likely that Phelan
will get enough support to retain
his seat. Therefore. to be exactly
unbiased, and in the preservation
of a careful balance of estimate,
one must write California into the
doubtful column, though Septem-
ber may bring the light of abso-
lutely cetrain republican triumph.

Supreme Council Sends a Re-
quest to President Wilson
Requesting That America
Accept the Mandate.

San Reno, April 25 Cby the AS
Sociated Press } $780, The supreme
council is sending a formal request
to President Wilson that the
United States government take tho
mandate for Armenia.
The council today decided to
ask President Wilson to arbitrate
the boundaries of the new repub-
lie of Armenia.
There seems to be division on
the part of the council rs to
whether the region of Erzesum
and its vicinity should be included
in the territory of the Armepia
republic. The Turkish nationalists
are strongly claiming ErZerum for
themselves
The council awarded a mandate

Great Britain and mandate for
Syria to France. In placing pal-
estine under British mandate

whether France shall have all of

smaller the country the more easily
it could protect itself, and the fear
that if too many Turks were left
within Armenia they might over
throw the government.
