FORECAST OF RESULTS IN
SENATORIAL CONTESTNEXT
FALL is GIVEN BY EXPERT

tionaN convention gives Senator
Harding opportunity to sit tight.
In the event that he loses the re-
publican presidential nomination he
will undoubtedly resume his seat in
the United states senate. Ono
seems surely republican, and her
senator will be either Harding or
his republican successor. The only
likely aspirants for democratic
nomination are Governor Cox and
Robert G.. Sharpe of Elyria, form
er ambassador to France.
Oklahoma. a.-Thomas p, Gore,
democratic incumbent, is hotly op-
posed by the Wilson organization
IN this state because of his oppo-
stion to the treaty and league of
nations. He has been intensely
anti administrator in other ways
hateful to the White House. Repre-
sentative Scott Ferris is after
Cores seat with all of the admin
stration machinery back of him
and a Wilson Endorsement to kill or
cure. Attorney General Freezing is
an aspirant also. The republicans
have come to no decision as regards
their candidate. Oklahoma seems
safe for the democrats, with Sena-
tor Gore almost as safe for reelec-
ton.
Oregon.--There is a peculiar sit
uation in this northwest corner of
the country. Here we have in Sen
ator George +. Chamberlain, the
sitting member up for renomina-
ton and reelection, a democrat
who has been elected twice from 4
republican state. No other demo-
crat would have a chance, prob
ably, in Oregon this year. but If
Chamberlain wins the renomina-
ton he is likely to be elected. He
can invariably count upon many
thousands of republican votes, for
many thousands of republicans re-
gard him as the ablest man in the
state, irrespective of party. He,
too, carries the opposition of the
administration because of his as
saults upon Secretary of war
Baker for mismanagement ana toH
even more shocking acts of lese
majestic. 1t is unlikely, however,
that the purpose of the Whlte
House can be accomplished. George
Chamberlain is too strong in his
own backyard.
Penrose Going Strong.
Pennsylvania Boise Pen
rose, republican sitting member,
restored to health and going strong
the result is as good as announced.
He carried the state by majority
of 245,000 in 1914 and with the
party divided. This year repubil-
are soiidly together. Penrose mas
no opposition for denomination ana
that's about all there is to discuss
in the situation in Pennsylvania.
If A. Mitchell Palmer is defeated
at San Francisco he may run Tor
senator. Vance Mccormick has
been mentioned also. Both had a
setback recently from faction o.
their own party in the state. IL vs.
expected that Penrose VIII roll up
a majority of at least 3OO,oo0 on
November 2.
South Carolina This state Will
return democrat of course, anu
will probably send back the incum-
bent, Senator Ellison d. Smith. me
candidates are required to file pc
fore June Is, and no one consid-
cred as having political strength
has yet filed.
Virginia.-The situation here
may be dismissed almost in sent
ence. Carter Glass, former secre-
tary of the treasury, has no oppo-
sition for denomination. The re-
puDlicans have not even discussed
a candidate. Glass will succeed
himself and Virginia. as usual, Will
be in the column marked ID"
Vermont.-William p. Dilling-
ham, republican sitting member. is
opposed by former Governor
but Dillingham; is ex-
peetsd to win denomination easily
