SENATOR NOES SEES
HARD FIGHT BEFORE
REPUBLICAN FRIENDS
Saws Democrats Sure Of Ten
Seats In 1924 EIec-
tiOnS

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Republi-
can senatorial candidates will have
a hard fight" in 1929 in eight states
tors. is the opinion of Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, chairman of the
republican senatorial campaign
committee, as expressed today after
a preliminary survey of present po-
litical tendencies.
Besides, vhe senator added, the
democrats are certain to retain at
least ten of the IA Senate member
ships for which elections Will be held
next year, so that ON the whole the
republican committee lis not at all
comfortable over the outlook"
I'VE are soon to throw our forces
into the struggle which we must
make to retain control of the Sen
ate" said Mr.. Moses. I'VE will bend
every effort to assure the election of
a republican to succeed the late
Senator Knute Nelson.
u am willing to concede the demo-
Gratis will be successful in 10 states.
all in the south. There is some
doubt as to whether they Will elect
the successor of Senator Stanley in
Kentucky and Senator owen in
Oklahoma. My hope of republican
success in those states is not as
great as 1t is for the success in
Massachusetts and Montana. where
senators are to be elected to fill the
seats now occupied by those two
Washes, but 1t will be no easy fight
to beat either of them.
AT present it looks as though we
are going to have a hard fight in
electing republican senator's in New
Jersey, Delaware, Illinois. Minnesota.
Colorado, New Mexico. South Dakota
and Oregon, where the democrats
scored victories in the elections last
fall"

fists In a directors meeting over
some controversy, and Wednesday the

cording to scientists.
The Abanakis. the aborigines of
this part of the North American con-

were sun worshippers. The mound
builders lived along the seacoast and
were said seldom to have turned far
from the range of the rising sun"
The skeleton had been preserved
by lime deposits, 1t was explained.

duty with the Ottoman American De-
velopment company in the Near East.
The reason for this, said Kennedy,
was because young Chester had re-
ported him to the Turks as British
spy.
The Turks will ignore the protests
of Great Britain and France against
the concessions" Kennedy declared.
I'VE will be on the ground within six
weeks TO begin the work The Brit
ish and French cannot do anything
to prevent us unless they send an
armed expeditionary force in an at
tempt to GUST us.
However l do not think the pow
ers will risk war over an American
concession"
Kennedy stated that French, Brit
ish and Italian capitalists had ap-
preached the Americans for a share
in the concessions. Such a co-opera-
tive arrangement will be discussed
in New York. he said, but the Amer
leans will continue to hold majority
