"BREAkISG UP" IRISH
 DEMOCRATS

William M, Butler, senator from Massachusetts, Republican national chairman, personal friend of the President and his campaign man ager, wants 10 stay in the Senate Indefinitely. In order to improve the possibilities he has begun to lend | hand to the organization of Irish Republican clubs in Massachusetts as a means 10 "breaking up the strength of the Democratic party in the north.
 The plan would be a fair and legitimate political effort. We imag- inc, however. that under ordinary circumstances 1t is rather difficult to interest the citizen of Irish extrac- ton in the Republican party. But times perhaps have changed. There is no telling what difference the Ku Klux Kan can make; and the Re- publican politicians, being better political technicians than the Demo- cratic politicians, may be able tc take a better advantage of changing affairs.

S4 SENATOR'S WILLING
TO LISTEN

The political stage will be mount ed with spirited drama in 1926; there may also be tragedy. comedy and even farce. Thirty-four sena- tors will be elected that year.
 A great many senators who will be up for reelection will look around for something substantial to tie to. They will be pleased to tie up to the President with a support the President slogan if that Is thought advisable and helpful. Political writers say It certainly vii ,be the case.
 This gives to the President a great chance 10 make headway in the Senate with his policies. One of these will be entry into the World Court, and the next message of the President to Congress, according to word from Swampscott, will strong ly advocate quick action. A lot of senators who want 10 be reelected are believed ready to follow the ad- vice.
 The President should swing the anvil hard.

A CORY AFTERMATH OF CHAPMAN TRIAL
