RUNNING FOR THE SENATE
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

in the primary in Massachusetts I'M
less Lieutenant Gov. Alvin Il. Fuller
former congressman, decides to run.
Mr.. Lodge has been, having some
patronage trouble, but it is being
adjusted. The Democratic nomi-
nation should fall either to John
Fitzgerald - Honey Fitz"-former
mayor of Boston, or to Sherman
T.. Whipple, nationally known attof-
ney.
Former Senators Run Again
The situation in North Dakota
seems to rest with the Non-parti-
san League. Senator McCumber Is
| seeking denomination and has as his
| former Senator Gronna
Both are bidding hard for the league
support.
The Indiana situation is somewhat
complicated Senator Newtomes I'M
this year, and former Senator Bev-
| eridge, stronger than ever before, is
to oppose him. Beveridge Clubs are
being organized all over the state.
and the ex-senator has strengthened
himself a great deal by a lecture tour
during the past year. However
Senator New is very strong
politically. There is some suggestion
that HIeSlucll IldIuiHS illoy NV
tais situation by inviting Senator
New to become one of his cabinet.
The Democratic candidate will be
former Governor Samuel M. Ralston,
of Thomas r. Marshall, lately vice
president. There will be no contest
between these men as one or the
other will withdraw.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
i has a hard fight on his hands to get
the nomination. He voted for seat
irg Senator Newberry and against
the soldier bonus. both of when
votes are expected to hurt him. John
G.. Emery, former National Com.
mander of the American Legion has
announced himself as a candidate,
out the strongest opposition should
come from Whitney Watkins, Of
Jackson county, a well known far
mer who was the Progressive candi-
date for governor in 1912, n who
now is president of the State Board
CT Agriculture.
On the Democratic side, there has
been as yet no response from Hen
nv Ford. The best possibilities o!
this time appear to be former Gov.
,nor Woodbridge Ferris or formel
Congressman Frank Doremus.
In Vermont, Senator Page has an.
nounced that he will retire from
public life. Apparently the field is
clear for Congressman Frank Greent
who should be nominated and elect
ed without serious trouble.
Ohio is Republican Battle-Ground
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, a
this time is unoppose,l for the Dem
ccratic nomination. On the Re
publican side there are at this tim;
no less than seven possibilities. Tt
straighten out this tangle, the Re
publicans may hold a pre-primar,
convention and endorse m of tn
candidates. This plan is strongl.
opposed by the supporters of Simeon
ID. Fess, one of the strongest candi
; dates for the Republican nomina
Ion, who wants toilet the fight g
directly to the primary vote.
Representative Nicholas Long
worth is iE the field for the nomina
ton. Another strong contender
former Senator Theodore Burton
|. uow :. member of the House of Rep
I ,esentatives. Representative Coope
is another OF the aspirants, and Rep
r~esentative Frank Murphy also seek
; the toga. Walter +. Brown, a clos
!, friend of President Harding. an
!, chairman of the joint congressiona
: committee on reorganization of tn
!. executive departments of the gov
: eminent, is 10 be considered in tn
: race. The iast a%spirant-- and tn
| is +he least probable of I'll of Their
!, is Governor Harry Davis. ~
