On a wide scale.
With the elections in Maine taking
place tomorrow and the primaries
for the selection of nominees for the
Senate and members of the House in
four OF the States on Tuesday, the
week will disclose a number of I'M
portant political decisions which
promise to throw some light on the
tangled situation.

will determine who shall be the
nominee for the Senate to contest
with Senator David I. Walsh. Demo-

Another interesting primary race
is that being made for the Republican
gan, where Senator Jim" Couzens is
seeking denomination. His principal
opponent is Judge Tuttle.
Senator CouZens has declared his
intention of supporting the Coolidge
Dawes ticket, and under such circum-
stances it may we'll be believed that
the administration wishes him sue
cess in the race.
1t is no secret that there was fear
at one time in the administration
camp that Senator Couzens might cast
his lot with the La Follette-Wheeler
ticket, and in such event, might make
it difficult for the Republican ma

The two other senatorial primaries
on Tuesday are in Colorado, where
two senators must be elected this
Fall, owing to the death of Senator
Nicholson. and in Louisiana, where
Senator Ransdell is up for re-elec-

is equivalent to election.
Senator Phipps of Colorado will be
nominated to succeed himself by the
Republicans, and the Democrats will
oppose him with Senator Alva B.
Adams, who has been serving under
appointment of Gov. Sweet, since the
death of Senator Nicholson.
The members of the non-partisan
political committee of the American
Federation Of Labor, which meets
here tomorrow, are: Warren S. Stone,
