the popular choice, seems disinclined to
make the race.
In Tennessee Senator McKellar.
Democrat, will seek reelection, but will
have a good deal of opposition for the
nomination. President Harding car
ried Tennessee two years ago. and the
Republicans believe they can hold
enough OF his vote to win with former
Gov. Hooper as their candidate.
Senator La Toilette seems certain to
be reelected in Wisconsin, as the oppo-
sition to him in the primaries has coli
lapsed. The Democratic organization
OF the State does not amount to much.
and the Socialist following will GER
tainly rally to the support OF MIR. La
Toilette II Democratic opposition be-
comes dangerous.
In Minnesota Senator Kellogg seems
to stand a reasonably good chance Of
winning another term. although the
remnant of the Non-Partisan League
whose leader. Townley, was recently
released from Jail. is grooming one or
two candidates to oppose him.
One of the most spectacular Senate
fights will be In Missouri. where SEN
ator Reed, Democrat. will face consid-
cradle opposition in his effort to win
another term. His chief opponent for
the Democratic nomination Is Breck-
enridge Long, former Under Secretary
OF State Senator Reed has been at
odds with his party ever since the
League OF Nations fight. He was
thrown out of the Democratic National
Convention at San Francisco but he Is
a good fighter and his friends think he
will win the party nomination. The
Republicans stand very good chance
OF winning Mr.. Reeds seat with WAL
ter p. Dickey as their party candi-
date.
In Montana Democratic Senator
Myers. who has consistently fought
the Nom Partisan League and Ameri-
can Legion influences. has hot fight
on his hands. B. X. Wheeler will
probably oppose him for the party
nomination. while Representative Red
dick will be the Republican standard
bearer.
In Wyoming Leader Mondell Of the
House of Representatives will prob
ably be the Republican candidate
against Senator Kendrick, Democrat.
Mr.. MondelI will be supported by the
American Legion because Of his advo-
cacy of the bonus raid. The Non
Partisan League is also expected to
throw the balance of power back Of
"the Messiah Of Green River" as Mr..
Mondell is described by supporters Of
the bonus.
In Utah the Republicans, with
former Gov. Spry or !. r. Clark, seem
to stand very good chance OF win
ming the seat now held by Senator
King. Democrat, who will not be a can
didate.
Hiram johnson Faces struggle.
Hiram johnson will face consider
able more opposition in California than
he has ever encountered. though there
does not appear very much doubt that
he will win the party nomination and
retain his seat. The California con-
test is likely to be bitter because of the
strong sentiment in favor of the
League of Nations and treaties re-
Gently ratified by the Senate and
which Senator Johnson opposed.
The supporters OF Senator Johnson
nave CIt0lleQ DCSIcltii VI SOAithCAtS
Hoover with the ambition to succeed
him. Mr.. Hoover has denied this
charge, and there appears to be very
little substance TO support it. Up to
date there has been no open opposition
to Senator johnson. but the primaries
will not be held until August. and there
is no telling what may happen before
that. Former Senator Phelan is likely
to be the Democratic candidate against
Senator johnson.
The successor Of John Sharp Will
Jams. Democrat, is to be elected in
Mississippi. where Republicans are few
and far between. Senator Williams
and Uncle joe Cannon, two legisla-
tive veterans, have announced their
determination to retire from Congress
| sinnal life.
