Sc Republican Members.
The present political make up Of the
Senate stands Republicans. So; Demo-
Gratis, 80, and Farmer-Labor, /. In
cluded in the list of Republicans is
Senator ELECT William S. Ware, whose
seat is being contested for by William
B. Wilson, his Democratic opponent In
1926. II the Democrats are to gain
control Of the Senate they must take
nine of the seats now held by Repub-
licans and hold all their own. No one
today believes that such a political
turnover can &c effected. Indeed, the
Democrats may lose seat or two them
selves. Certainly that now held by Sen
ator Steck Is likely to be occupied by
a Republican a year hence. Iowa is
strongly Republican and Senator Steck
made his big run against Senator
Brookhart in 1924, because he, Steck,
had the support of the Regular Repub-
ncan organization after Brookhart had
come out for La Toilette for President
and against Coolidge, the nominee of
the G. o. P. There is likely to be a
hot battle In Montana, too, where Sen
ator Walsh is to run to succeed himself.
In the past Senator Walsh has sue
ceSsfully come through these contests,
Senator Edge is to retire from the
Senate to become Ambassador to
France, according to all reports. This
change Is likely to come soon after the
tariff bill has been completed this Fall.
He will not, therefore, be q candidate
to succeed himself. However, the Re-
publican nominee probably will win,
whether he be David Baird, Dwight
Morrow. or any of the others whose
names have been mentioned as possible
successors OF Mr.. Edge. The Democrats
have no outstanding man to put up
for the Senate in New Jersey, unless it
be their last governor. Edward I. Ed
wards, former Senator, Is not likely to
make strong run, even If he tries for
1t, is Is said.
Some of the Republican Senators who
viii seek reelection face hard fights
in the primaries. Senator Deneen, for
example, will have Mrs. Ruth Hanna
Mccormick as an opponent. The Demo-
rTQfC will do fhaiY nocf To utiv, To-
lucky, where Senator Sackett comes up
for election, and in West Virginia
against Senator Golf, and in Rhode Is
land against Senator Metcalf. There Is
likely to be strong effort TO unhorSe
Senator Phipps in Colorado, too But
Senator Phipps came through the last
senatorial election handily and he is
likely to do so again.
Norris May Be Opposed.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, a leader
Of the Progressives In the Senate, NAV
have opposition in the senatorial pri-
mary. There is faction in the State
which would like to unhorse him, but
he Is rated the strongest political figure
in Nebraska today. He is expected to
run for the Senate as a Republican,
although he came out in favor of the
election Of Al Smith to the presidency
last Fall.
Some Of the Democratic Senators
may have troubles next year. The
fact that several CT them who hail
Smith may bring them opposition from
anti-Smith Democrats in the primary
contests. Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia is among this group. On the
other hand, there are Democrats in
North Carolina who would like to have
the courage to tackle the veteran Sen
tor Simmons, who turned thumbs
vn on Smith, his party's presidential
candidate last year and whose in
fiuence had not little to do with the
result Of the election in that State.
The Republican senatorial campaign
committee will have the cooperation
of the Republican national committee
and of the congressional committee in
the campaign next year. The Repub-
licans have already selected Represent
alive viii Wood as chairman OF the
congressional campaign committee to
conduct the campaign for the election
of a Republican House next year. He
has served as chairman several times
| in the past.
The Democrats are planning to
make q real race in the senatorial and
| congressional elections next year. They
hope by victories In 1890 to give them
selves a better chance in the national
election in 1882 The executive OF the
| Democratic national committee. under
| direction of Chairman Jouett ShouSe
| is at work building up organizations
and revamping others in many OF the
States. Efforts are being made to wipe
out the discord which broke so seri-
ously into Democratic ranks last year
! The Democrats will do their best tc
| hold on to Massachusetts, and Rhode
| Island and to regain their hold on
