The foregoing comprises some ifs" To turn an If" into a probability is manifestly not the purpose of this article; but it is en- tirely legitimate to list the probabilities.
 On the basis of presidential cleo tions since the beginning of the present century, all of the states which fill Republican Senate seats this year, with the exception of five - Arizona. Colorado, Ken lucky, Maryland and Oklahoma = would be classified as Republican states.
 There are then five probabilities so far in favor of the Democrats, who this year vote in these five states with the Republicans lack ing the advantage of presidential kite-flying, during a presidential landslide.

 These seven states. with the six previously mentioned, form the list of 1S doubtful states in varying degree.
 Of this number, the most doubt ful are Nevada, carried four times by the Democrats in senatorial elections since 1913; Missouri, car- ried three times; Massachusetts, due to the candidacy of Senator Walsh; Maryland, carried twice; Kentucky, carried twice; Indiana, carried twice (two senators will be voted on in that state this year) i; and Arizona, carried three times.

 None of the other nine independ- ent Republicans in the Senate comes up for reelection this year. There is no possibility, therefore, of a serious reduction in the inde- pendent Republican strength.
 The independent strength really will be increased by the election of Brookhart Of Iowa - expediently backed by the Republican organ ization since his victory in the primary - and the success of in- dependent Republicans opposing members for the party nomination in various Republican states.
