Westinghouse for seats
In the United States senate in num-
Der Of states already have begun. Sew
eral senators whose terms Of Office
expire next March are taking leaves
of absence in order to start campaign
work in their bailiwiCks
1t Is possible that the sharpest in
terest, so far as Washington is con-
cerned, cehters in the senatorial cam
paigns in Ohio, Indiana and North
Dakota In Indiana the two Republic
cans who probably Will contest for
senatorial nomination in the primaries
which are to be held in May are
present senator, Harry S. New, and
former senator, Albert j. Beyeridge.
Mr.. Beverldge has been making
speeches on non-politcal subjects for
some time and therefore has kept him
self well before the people. Senator
New has been one of the close sup
pOrters Of the present administration,
which, while not saying so, is supposed
to be in sympathy with his desire to
succeed himself
Washington gossip has 1t that the
Indiana Democrats VIII nominate
Thomas r. Marshall, former vice pres
ident Of the United States, to contest
the senatorial election with whichever
of the two Republican candidates man
ages to win out in the primaries. 1t
further is said that If Mr.. Marshall
shall succeed In beating his Republi-
can opponent for the senate, a cam
paign will be started at once by some
politically strong Democratic elements
10 secure for Mr. Marshall the party's
nomination for the presidency in 1924.
Ohio Campaign is Interesting.
The Ohio senatorial campaign will
be watched with a good deal Of inter
est by the President of the United
States. There are three Republicans
who, 1t is said are quite anxious to
secure their party's nomination in or
der to enter the lists against the Demo
cratic candidate. In the senate today
Ohio has one Democratic and one Re
publican senator. The term of the
former, Mr.. Pomerene, will expire next
March. He hopes to succeed himself.
The main campaign issues have not
yet framed themselves, but Mr.. POme-
rene it Is said, will make use of an
issue which is said to have been Of
service to him once before-large
campaign expenditure.
Representative in congress, Simeon
D. Fess, who has been reelected chair
man of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, is certain to be
candidate for the Republican noml-
nation in Ohio for the senate. 1t is
limited that Walter +. Brown, who In
1912 managed the Bull Moose cam
paign Of Theodore Roosevelt in Ohio,
possibly may be a second candidate.
Mr.. Brown, who supported President
Harding in the last campaign, was
appointed by him as chairman Of the
committee which has in hand the work
of reorganizing the federal govern
ment departments.
It is held possible in Washington
that Nicholas LongwOrth of Cincinnati
may be a third candidate for the SEN
ate in the Republican primaries. He
is a son-in-law Of the late Theodore
Roosevelt and there are those In Wash
ington who think that Mr.. Longworth,
II he does not withdraw from the con-
test, may give his opponents some
trouble.
eronna May Oppose Mccumber
In North Dakota Senator Porter ].
McCumber Will strive to retain his
seat In the United States senate.
Washington does not seem to be def
nltely fixed in its mind yet as to the
most likely Republican opponent that
Mr.. McCumber must meet, but it Is
supposed to be a. J. Gronna, who has
served in the senate before this time.
Senator McCumber recently was
chosen by the Republicans of the SEN
ate to succeed Boies Penrose as chair
man of the committee on finance. This
Is a powerful post and as Republicans
IN Washington view it the fact of It's
power will not be lost on the voters Of
North Dakota,
Henry Cabot Lodge, who has been
In the senate for so many years that
many men have forgotten when he
came here, must stand for reelection
next fall, II is said that Mr.. Lodge Is
not worrying much about the out
come.
Other states in which senatorial cleo
lions are to be held are: Arizona
California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland Michigan, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska
Nevada, New Jersey New Mexico, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Vir-
glnla, Washington, West Virginia, WIS
consin and Wyoming.
Hopes From Farm Conference
Membership In the national agrlcui-
turnl conference which has closed us

usan In Its character. The govern
ment officials hope that the recohnien,
