ayers OF Senator Townsend admit
that former Gov. Ferris, Democrats.
has IAN outside chance" to win. Tho
Newberry case has been the outstand-
ing issue In the Senatorial campaign
and will certainly reduce the majority
OF the Republican vote for Senatos
Townsend. The Republican State
ticket headed by Gov. Groesbeck will
win by large majority.
Senator Kellogg, Republican. looks
to be safe for reelection to the Senate
from Minnesota despite the tremen-
dous support worked up for Hendrix
Shipstead. the extreme radical Farmer
Labor candidate. Shipsteads pro-
gram closely resembles that of lie
Nom Partisan League In neighbo.ing
North Dakota. The spread OF II TO
Minnesota has caused the Republican
leaders of the State great d. OF
anxiety. Recently there app""rs TO
be a change of sentiment which now
favors Kellogg and Is due TO the de-
cision OF conservative Democrats to
support Kellogg. Anna D. Oleson. the
Democratic candidate, will run third
despite the fact that William Jen-
State for her. Partisan lines will bs
wiped out in the Senate and one or
two Congressional contests.
Gov. Preus, Republican, who ap-
pears certain OF reelection, has openly
urged Republican voters to support
Lawlor. Democratic candidate, against
Representative Keller, radical Repub-
lican, in the Fourth district. Keller
recently demanded the impeachment
of Attorney General Daugherty. A
determined effort will be made by the
wet element to defeat Andrew j. Vol
stead. author of the prohibition en-
forcement law, with the Rev o. J.
Kvale, who, although dry, is not so
Objectionable 20 the resentful thirsty
as Volstead.
Democratic Senator James A. Reed
is considered to have good chance
to win the Missouri Senate contest
over r. r. Brewster, Republican. Reed
will be supported by many thousands
of wet Republicans. as he was in the
primary contest, and his present
chances are considered better than
Brewster's for this reason The Dem
ocrats will gain seven OF eight seats In
the House.
In Nebraska the contest for the
Senate between Senator Hitchcock
and Ralph B. Howell, the mildly radi-
cal Republican candidate, will be
close The Democrats, however, ap-
pear to be more confident over the
outcome than the Republicans be-
cause Of the detection of conservative
Republicans who desire to rebuke
radicalism.
The New Jersey contest between
Senator Frelinghuysen. Republican,
and Gov. Edwards, Democrat, will be
close, but with the wet tide strongly
running in favor of Gov. Edwards,
who is outspoken in his condemna-
ton of the prohibition law. Repub-
lican confidence is due to the belief
that tho committing element, which
works in New York and sleeps in New
Jersey, will finally rally to the sup
port of Frelinghuysen. The Demo-
Gratis appear to be almost certain or
gaining six members in Congress.
They have only one at present.
In North Dakota the Senatorial con-
test between Lynn j. FRAZER, tne rau-
ical Non-Partisan League candidate
who beat Senator McCumber for the
Republican nomination. and j. F. L.
O'Connor, Democrat, will he close. The
election of O'Connor over Frazier is
urged by Gov. Nestos, Republican,
whose reelection is assured, as re-
buke to radical elements represented
by Frazier. The Republicans will
hold on to their two seats in Con-
gress.A
Senator Atlee Pomerene, Democrat.
is believed to stand a very good
chance of defeating Simeon D. Fess,
Republican and Anti-Saloon candi-
date, in Ohio. Paradoxically the State
ticket headed by Carmi Thompson ap-
pears to have a shade the best of the
battle with the Democratic ticket
headed by Victor Donahey. or the
twenty-five seats in the House now
held by the Republicans the Demo-
Gratis expect to win from seven to nine.
Popular interest is centered largely
on the referendum legalizing alco-
