WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-One-
third OF the seats in the Oniteu
States Senate are to be contested Tor
beween this date and the hrst tues
day after the first Monday or NO
yornber next. AS q matter OF -ract'
Inc number is slightly larger than an
exact third, luz to the death or poth
PENNSYLVANIA senators WITHIN the
past few months.

states where Their. is to be a senate
rial election there are fights Tor II
nomination as well as for election.
Let us consider the III IL
of the states as it exists now.
In New York Senator William ".
! Calder will seek the Republican
| nomination and reelection. NO one
| has been brought forward yet to con-
Test the nomination with him, dat

| roan and that to fight him ltlln
te Republican party. whoever Is
| nominated is likely to have N hgnt
of his life on his hands in the elec-
| ton. Former Governor Al Smith Is
| generally looked upon as the prop-
| aole Democratic nominee. Recently
word came out of Albany thal an
effort was being made to prlng lof-
ward William Randolph Hearst, the
newspaper publisher. as n Dein-
| o@cratic contender. Many New YORK
| politicians believe Smith Will De inc
| candidate, and his tremendous yer
sonal popularity will be a big rae
tor in the race.
When AL Smith ran for reelection
as governor in 1920, although Haro-
ing swept the state with a majority
of more than a million over o
ernor Cox al Smith led the Demo-
cratic ticket by about a mllllol
votes, Nathan Miller, the Repupi-
can, beating him put by an eX-
tremely narrow margin.

publican nomination for the sena!e
