behind Harding. The outcome. there
fore. depends largely on the Presidential
contest. If Hardings majority in Con-
necticut falls below $4,000 Brandegee
Will lose.
In New York almost the same situa-
tion exists. The Republican Senator
who is lighting for recollection, Wads-
was opposed to prohibition and woman's
suffrage, and Is now opposed by the

York should 20 heavily Republican.

there Is whether q Republican or DEM
ocrat will be elected to MI tho vacancy

on how Ohio goes in the general cleo
ton. II Ohio had careful discriminat-
ing electorate. the Democrats would
have better chance to win for their
Senatorial candidate than for Cox: or

and Julian, Democrat, the latter Is de-
cidedly the better man. julian Is sue

chief asset is a gift for rotund oratory

Indiana
Come next to Indiana. Here the Re-
publican, Watson, Is under the severest
sort Of attack and there is not Repuo-
Ucan leader in Indiana but admits that
Watson will run at least twenty thous-

If il were n normal year, there isn't
a doubt in the world that Watson would
