PARTY PLANS TO
REGAIN CONTR o.
OF The SENATE
Democrats To Concen.
trate On Half Dozen
States
BY HARRY B. HUNT


IN +. a. Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March Wholly
aside from the presidential contest,
Democratic plans for the election next
November call for an intensive cam
paign in approximately half dozen
states with the primary aim IF re-
gaining for the Democrats control in
the United States Senate.
1t is easily within the bounds of
possibility that although the Repub-
licans should elect the next president,
the Democrats might regain control in
the upper house and thus be in posi-
tion to veto Republican legislation
and policies.
G. o. P. Hold Control
Republicans now hold control in the
Senate by the>narrow margin of two
votes.
Thirty-two senator's, or one-third of
the senate membership, will be chos-
en- at the November election. These
seats are at present divided exactly
Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-01

evenly between the two particle
to 10.
Eleven of the 16 Democratic vacan-
cies occur in states of the "SQlid
South" where the chance for Repub-
iican invasion is almost negligible.
Only six of the Republican vacan-
cies, however, occur in rock-ribbed
Itepubhcan strongholds, where Demo
Gratis may not have fighting chance.
Democratic leaders believe that by
concentrating their efforts on debat.
able states, they may be able to elect
at least three more senators than they
now have, and this would give trem
control in the upper house, even in
case of a Republican presidential vic
tory, which-with only a gain of two
mocrats-would leave the deciding
vote in the vice-president.
To Trail President.
The lower house may reasonably
be expected to go to the party win
ming in the presidential contest, So
would the senate were the full mem
bership up for reelection, or even if
one senator was@@ be elected from
each state, but oiN-third of the as
states will have no vacancies to fill in
the senate this year.
The Democratic senatorial contest
will be waged with especial vigor in
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Utah
and New York, where the terms Of
Republican members are expiring.

comotives, cars and equipment. These
include 62,759 locomotive 53,515
passenger cars, 5000 Pullman cars,
and 2,299,840 freight cars of all
kinds.
On these roads in 1919, Uncle Sam
collected total of $5,181 100000
in revenue. After paying their oper-
ating expenses and taxes of $4,666,-
100000, there was left a net operat-
ing income of $515, 100000. This
amounted to 2.74 per cent of earnings
on the book values of the railroads.

sengers increased AZ per cent in

BANKER SEES ERA
OF RAILROAD BUILDING.
BY FRANCIS H. SISSON
ice PRESIDENT OF the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York


NEW YORK, March 1.-The ESQ.,
600 American investors who directly
own railway stocks and the millions
thrifty citizens who have their saw.
lngs in banks and insurance compan-
les invested in railroad stocks and
bonds, are not guaranteed agai. st loss
by the new railroad bill, but they are
assured of a large measure of pro-
lection.
A careful reading of the new rail.
road law makes it plain that it is the
purpose of congress to encourage the
investment of new railroad capital bv
giving fair deal to the nearly 500
100000 of capital that has thus tar
been devoted to the upbuilding of our
transportation system
hundreds of milions-yes billions
OF new funds must be put into rail-
road building if our industrial growth
is not to be stunted by failure to
provide adequate transportation fa-
clltles. This new capital can only
come from the savings of thrifty in
vestors and these savings can only be
attracted by making railroad invest
ments attractive.
mere Is no Aladdln's lamp that can
be rubbed to bring forth the dollars
needed to build railroads. Bankers
have no magic touch whereby they can
bring dollars out of their vaults for
the development of the country. Bank
ing institutions are merely a part of
the machinery whereby the savings II
millions of people are collected for
the upbuilding of the country.
If the new law makes it possible to
provide this flow of new capital for
railroad upbuilding, it will be one of
! the most constructive measures ever
placed upon the statute books.
The railroad industry today is not
self-supporting, because two years Of
! government control has resulted in an
increase in expenses far beyond the
increase in revenues. The increae ed
cost of operation is very largely the
result of the great rise in prices for
labor and materials. The fl st task
/ of the government under the new rail-
road law will be to re-adjust railroad
rates to provide for this increased cost
so that the railroads will be self-sup-
porting. Until they are self-sup ort-
ing, it will not be possible to attract
new investment capital for them.

third of the total railroad mileage of
the whole world. Out of 729,845
miles of rail on the earth, the rail-
roads of the United States comprise
233 ,899 miles.
Compared to this, Russia's mile
age of 48,955 (1916) is inconsider-
able, and yet Russia has the second
largest railroad mileage in the world

4 POWERFUL
INFLUENCES TO
OPPOSE COLBY
Some Reasons For The
Attack on Wilson's
Appointee

WASHINGTON, March Balm
bridge Colby, newly appointed Sec
retary of state, is expected to be op-
posed for confirmation by four pow
erful influences besides the personal
enemies of the president. They are
the G. o. p. old guard, prohibitionists
Mexican interventionists and the Brit
ish foreign Office.
Politics
Colby raped old guard republi-
cans in letter to Vance Mccormick
manager Of Wilson's campaign in
1915, when he wrote Aug. IL, COM
menting on Charles E. Hughes can
didacy thus:
What business a Progressive has
IN such company as this l cannot for
the life of me, see. They (the Re-
publicans) are the pickets and moni-
tors of privilege If he (Hughes(
were elected they would rope him and
tie him as they did when he was gov
ernor in Albany, reducing him to a
plaintive futility.
In the Republican party the re-
dictionaries are in the ascendent They
dominate the party giving to it their
character and features. 1t is the
party of reaction and Progressives
who have allied themselves with it
are the most unfortunate of dupes.
There are, of course, reactionary
elements in the DeI !ocratic party
but they are, at the worst, only a re-
tardation and drag upon the steady
forward push which the president is
maintaining"
Prohibition
Before the Senate agricultural com.
mittee, June %, 1918, Colby urged
elimination of the Jones "bone dry
amendment from the emergency food
bill. He said.
81 come to you from the United
States Shipping Board to place at
your service an opinion which has
been very deliberately and quite un-
~ahlmously arrived at as to the effect
upon the Shipping Board of this pro-
posed LEGISLATION. 1t is the firm be-
Ilef Of the men to whom the United
States has entrusted the great task of
building our troop ships and our mer.
chant marine that this legislation will
produce widespread disaffectior
among the ranks of the shipworkers
and will result in a very great dimin.
ution of our tonnage output.
This is not a food conservation
measure. The sponsors of this legis.
lation may entitle it a conservation
measure, but thev are for it because
it is prohibition measure. The food
conservation department of the gov.
ernment has not pronounced this leg.
islation a necessity, and until it does
the public will regard this in its true
guise, as an effort to advance the pro.
hibition frontier.
"The cry of the world today is not
for teetotalers, but for fighters"
Mexico.
Speaking at the Wilson Day mas,
meeting at Cooper Union, Oct. %
1915. Colby ridiculed Roosevelt's at
tack upon the Wilson Mexican policy
and said:
Besides, being a mighty hunter
the colonel is mighty eater. He i
an eater of words and has a remark
able appetite for his own words as
regular article of diet.
81 have been to Mexico ten times
and / am for Wilson's policy (non
intervention) from what I know.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING

The Manchester Commercial club
met at Keckler's restaurant on Mon
day evening, at which time number
OF items OF business were taken under
consideration. The matter Of pushing
the sale of season tickets for the lee
ture and entertainment course was
presented and everyone was urged to
get their tickets early and have seats
reserved on Friday of this week.
The question of celebrating Armis-
tfce Day was discussed and President
Madden appointed Major Harry Utley,
Rev. H. L. Goughnour and Fred w.
Hermann as a committee to arrange a
program for the occasion.
Rev. H. L. Goughnour, chairman Of
the county chapter of the American
Red Cross spoke to the club members
relative to the drive during the two
weeks following November 11th. Rev.
Mr.. Goughnour stated that the nurs-
ing program which the local chapter
OF the Red Cross has carried on for
a year must not be discontinued, but
that it should be made to cover large
field of usefulness. and to that end
he suggested that schools of Manches-
ter and some of the consolidated
schools in close proximity to Man
chester employ one nurse and the
other consolidated schools and all the
rural school employ second nurse,
and that matter Of financing such a
program be carried on in conjunction
with the regular school system Of the
county. This seemed to meet with he
hearty APPROVAL Of the county, and after
some discussion 1t was moved that
the club approve the movement as
outlined by the chairman of the Coun-
ty Chapter.
