Primaries show Democratic Trend
Recent Democratic primaries and
conventions, while they indicated live
ly interest in nominations, We're free
from the bitter ractionalism that
marked Republican contests in several
! OF the same states. In some states
Democrats selected candidates for tho
United, States senate with practical
un7uimity. The Republican primaries
! in Montana, California and Wisconsin
wcro conducted with such fcrocity that
thore l. every likelihood thousands Of
the supporters Of defeated candidates
will revenge themselves by voting for
Democratic nominees or staying at
homo ON election day.
Senator Jones of New Mexico and
Senator Pttmau Of Nevada were re-
nominated without opposition, and are
regarded as sure to beat their Repub-
/ lican opponents. In California the
Democratic senatorial nomination
went to William j. Pearson, Of Los
Angeles who is certain to get a large
number Of the votes that were cast
for G. c. Moore I'm the Republican
primary. Moore's friends have been
bopstng Of the inroads they made on
Senator Johnson's strength, and con-
uuuc TO manifest their hostility TO tho

OF his party and viii get a big access
sion of strength from tho Republicans

Thomas i. Bayard. one OF n long
line Of distinguished statesmen, re-
ceircd the Democratic senatorial nom
