A LIVELY CAMPAIGN YEAR.

Judging by the activity Of state and congressional
campaign committees and the issuing of calls for pri-
mary elections, business of electing United States SEN
ators, members of congress, state and county officers
will be promptly under way.
Practically every state will hold state primaries or
conventions and state elections this year.
In addition 20 state elections, the entire member
ship OF the house of representatives, and 33 out Of 90
United States senators are TO be elected.
The majority of states hold state-wide primaries for
tie nomination OF United States senators, both parties
holding their dominating election on the same day.
The first state to hold such a primary is Indiana,
which, on May 2, will nominate Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates for the United States senate. The
senator whose term expires in Indiana is Harry s.
New, Republican. Senator New win be a candidate
in the Republican primaries for the nomination to sue
coed himself.
On May Is Pennsylvania holds It's state primary. at
which time both Republicans and Democrats will nomi-
nate two candidates for the United States senate. This
is made necessary by the recent deaths of both Sena-
tors Knox and Penrose, whose places are now being
temporarily filed by gubernatorial appointments,
pending the selection Of their successors by the peo-
pie at the general election next November.
The term of Senator Knox would have expired
March, 1928, and undoubtedly he would have had no
opposition in the Republican primaries this year to be
his own successor. Senator Penrose was elected for
six years last November, so that whoever is elected
to succeed him will serve practically a complete term.
The following are the dates Of statewide primaries
in other states, at which candidates for the United
States senate will be nominated, together with the
name and political affiliation of the present incumbent,
In nearly every case the present incumbent viii be a
candidate in the primary within his own party for the
nomination to succeed himself.
