AS for the states and the con-
tests that have not been alluded to,
since in their case the outcome is
unlikely to produce a change, the
best methods of setting forth the
various methods for the swift APP
praisement Of the reader is to men-
ton state and contest after the al
phabetical form, thus:
Alabama-Elects two senator's,
oscar w. Underwood, with prohi-
bition opposition, is expected 20 w.n
handily in the democratic primaries
over "Breck" Musgrove and Sam
uel Weakley; TO defeat them as
soundly as he defeated Richmond
Pearson Hobson in 1914. The as
pirants for the Bankhead seat, now
temporarily held by Senator Crom-
err, are representative j. Thomas
Helm, a pictures figure of the
lower house, and its greatest story
teller, and former Senator Frank S.
White. Democratic victory is GER
tain.
Arizona-Elects one senator.
Marcus A. Smith, the incumbent,
will be renominated and will be
opposed by Ralph II. Cameron of
Phoenix, a real estate operator and
copper mining man, or by E. c.
Clark of Jerome. Cameron will WIN
the republican contest, presumably,
but is likely to go down to defeat
before Senator Smith, for there is
not much likelihood of Arizona 60
ing republican eXcep. in landslide
of tremendous proportions.
Arkansas Except TO state that
William F. Kirby, the incumbent, is
out to succeed himself, and has lit
tie to fear from any asplrant in his
own party, Arkansas can be dis
missed. In that state republican
is curiosity.
Connecticut-Fran b. Brande-
gee, republican, and one of the
strong figures in the senate, VII
undoubtedly be renominated to sue
coed himself, and may safely be
reckoned on as a winner. He car
ried the state against the popular
Simeon E. Baldwin by nearly a.
600 six years ago. He will be OPP
posed by either Homer S. Cum
mings, chairman of the democratic
national Comittee, or Mayor David
Fitzgerald of New Haven. Brande-
gees support fears neither, for the
trend in the Nutmeg state is obvi-
ously republican, as the mayoralty
contest in Hartford, formerly DEM
ocratic showed when Hartford
elected a republican mayor.
Florida-Duncan u. Fletcher,
democratic sitting member, will be
renominated, which means, of
course, that he will be reelected.
Florida is too solid a chunk of the
solid south to offer a glimmer of
hope, as yet.
Hoke smith Must Fight.
Georgia--The celebrated Hoke
Smith, democratic incumbent may
have opposition for denomination,
but will doubtless win. The fact
that a Lily white republican party
has been organized and has placed
Harris Stillwell Edwards in nomi-
nation is not expected to affect the
outcome, though eventually it may
have important results. The Hon.
Hoke VIII very pfODaDly resume II y
comfortable seat.
Illinois-Lawrence Y. Sherman,
republican incumbent, has an
nounced his intention to retire. and
the republican aspirant for the seat
most likely to succeed is Repre-
sentative william r. Mckinley
who has been in congress many
years. who controls a superb organ
ization and who has strength in
Chicago as well as down state. The
cred to be an empty honor and has
no pursuers as yet. Illinois is a re-
