NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Returns
from today's primaries in number
of the states will be watched with
especial interest at the national
headquarters Of the two big political
parties here, particularly because OF
possible bearing on the senatorial
and congressional elections.
Probably the greatest interest cen
ters in Wisconsin and New Hamp.
shire, where Senators Irvine l.. Len
root and George II. Moses, both re-
pubIrcans, have heen engaged in bit
ter fighting for denomination.
In Wisconsin the situation has
been considerably complicated by
local. issues, including wet or dry,
~Germanism," railroads. Non-Partisan
league, etc, as well as intense fac
tional party strife Although origi-
nally Lenroot was regarded as q
protege OF La Follette's, the senior
Wisconsin senator in the present
ca campaign has been endeavoring to
accomplish the junior senator's re-
tirement. LaFollette's candidate is
James Thompson.
The only democratic entry for the
primary senatorial nomination Is Dr.
Paul S. Reinsch, former dean OF po-
litical science in the University OF
Wisconsin, who was appointed by
President Wilson as minister to
China.
The fact that women are voting IN
the New Hampshire primaries for
the first time lends interest to the
senatorial fight there, especially as
the supporters of Huntley N. Spauld-
ing for the republican nomination
have been playing up Senator Moses
opposition to woman suffrage and his
"irreconcilability" on the league OF
nations. Spaulding is a declared ad-
vocate of the league with the Lodge
reservations. One unique feature OF
the primaries in this state is the can
didacy of Albert w. Noone for the
nomination for both
United States senator and governor,
on wet platform.
In Nevada, in the democratic pri-
maries, Senator Charles B. Hender-
son is unopposed for denomination.
On the republican side there are five
candidates, including Governor Tas.
ker. Rev. Brewster Adams, pastor OF
Reno, and Grant Miller, formerly
socialist candidate for the senate. AS
in many other states, the league or
nations is regarded as the chief is
sue. Nevada again boasts OF
woman candidate for the senate IN
Miss Anne Martin, who is running
independently. = d
Although Massachusetts, does not
choose United States. senator this
year. there has been a lively scramble
in both parties for nominations for
congress For the gubernatorlal
nomination, to succeed Governor
Calvin Coolidge, Lieutenant Governor
H. Cox is the only republi-
can entry in today's primaries. The
democrats have two candidates, John
+ Walsh, Of Boston, and Richard H.
Long. of Framingham.
One of the hottest campaigns in
The country has been going on in
Georgia, whose primaries are to be
held tomorrow and where Senator
Hoke Smith is being opposed for
he democratic denomination by Tom
E. Watson, former populist; Cover
nor Hugh Dorsey and Colonel John
R. Cooper, Of Macon.
Smith voted for the Lodge reser-
vations and announced his satisfac-
lion with Governor Cox's league
policy. Both Watson and Cooper are
anti Wilson and antileasue, while
Governor Dorsey is the only demo
cratic candidate for the senatorial
who has given full en-
1orsement to the Wilson administra-
ton.
