Politics at Large
By C.. Gould Lincoln.

Complexities in the campaign of the
Republicans TO retain control Of the
Senate In the elections next year con-
tinue TO multiply. The death Of the
late Senator Francis Z. Warren Of Wy
oming, in addition to being q real loss
to the Senate and the country, has
created still another problem for the
Republican leaders. Senator Warrens
term Of once expires March 4, 1891, and
had he lived he would doubtless have
been q candidate to succeed himself.
Warren was unbeatable in Wyoming,
admired and loved by the people Of
Democratic Senator, too-Senator
Kendrick, who has a great hold on the
affections Of the people. If Senator
Kendrick takes up the fight for the
Democratic nominee to fill the Warren
vacancy and the Republicans should
happen to be divided factionally, Wyo-
ming may have q second Democratic
Senator. Already q host of Repub-
licans have indicated they are going out
Charles Z. Winter, former member. of
the House from Wyoming, who was
badly beaten last year when he sought
to win the seat held by Senator Ken
drick, and former Gov. Robert D. Carey
| Gov. Emerson has been mentioned as
one of the Republicans who would like
the nomination for the Senate. And
the names of former Representative
Frank w. Mondell, william G. Deming
president Of the Civil Service Commits
sion, and Representative Vincent Carter
Of Wyoming have been discussed as pos
sible candidates.

Dispatches today say that Gov Emer-
| son has appointed uncle" Pat Sullivan
the Republican national committeeman
of long standing, to fill the Warren
seat in the Senate for months time.
A special election will be held at the
end of that time to fill the remainder
| of the short term. Whoever wins In
! good chance for election for the long
| term which begins March 4, 1881.
Senator Warren's son, Frederick War
rem. president Of the Warren Live Stock
Company, one Of the biggest concerns
In the State and that part Of the West,
Is not politically minded and has con-
fined himself strictly to business or he
might be in line to succeed his father.
Mr.. Warren, who is 46 years old. and q
graduate Of Harvard University, has
won for himself reputation as busi-
ness man.
Mr.. Sullivan might, of course. become
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Senate himself. He is
widely known and very popular in the
State, and has one of the richest Irish
brogues that have ever been heard in
| the Senate. He is expected here to take
his seat within day or two. Mr.. Sui
livan's health, however, has not been
! good for some time.
Mrs. Nellie Ross widow Of a Demo-
cratic governor and once governor her
| self Of Wyoming has been suggested In
some quarters as a possible Democratic
nominee for the Senate. If she should
be nominated and win the election soon
| to be held. she would be the first
woman ever elected to the United States
| Senate.
The announcement of Senator Gillett
| OF Massachusetts, that he net only does
not choose to run for. the Senate, but
will not do so. takes another widely
| known Republican leader out of the
| fight for the Senate next year. Senator
Gillett was Speaker of the HOUSE, post
Of high honor and dignity and power in
the Government, when he was prevailed
| upon to take the senatorial nomination
| in 1924 to run against Senator David l.
Walsh, Democrat, and a great vote get
ter. He was elected by some 10000
votes. But so strong was Senator Walsh
| that he ran more than zoo, 900 ahead of
the Democratic national ticket in
| Massachusetts, that year. Senator Walsh
staged comeback couple of years
then chairman Of the Republican ma
/ tional committee and sitting Senator,
for the unexpired term Of the late Sena-
tor Lodge.

The Democrats believe they have a
| real chance to pick up another Senate
seat in Massachusetts, next year. Not
little will depend, however, upon the
candidates named by both parties. If
the Republicans should nominate for
mer President Coolidge, former Gov.
they would In all probability win. They
may pick some other candidate who
also can win, but they would not be as
strong as any of the three men just
| mentioned. II Is said. Mr.. Coolidge
and Mr. Cox, according to reports, do
not wish the senatorial nomination.
Mr.. Fuller Is flirting with it. Incidental.
ly. 1t is suggested that If Mr.. Fuller
| does not wish TO lose strength he will
make UP his mind without further de-
lay In this matter. He has already
kept the voters Of the State waiting
for months for q decision, saying now
and then things that are interpreted
as showing his willingness to run for
| the Senate, and then qualifying them.
Former President Coolidge, 1t Is said,
could win easily II he would permit him
self to be nominated. But would Mr..
Coolidge be willing to come TO Wash
ington as Senator after having been
for more than six years President Of
the United States? He would be, under
such circumstances. one of the junior
Senators, too. Further. how would he
feel II. as Senator, he were faced with
the alternative Of heeaking with his
Republican successor in the White
House, President Hoover, or following
1is own sweet will in legislative matters?
Senator Moses chairman of the Re-
publican senatorial campaign commit
tee, believes that Mr.. Coolidge would
make an ideal candidate for the Senate.
He would win in a walk" was SEN
ator Moses comment when asked what
he thought about the possible candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Coolidge for the Senate.
He did not say, however, that he be-
lieved the former President would ac-
cept the nomination.
Ohio and New Jersey are other pros
pective battlefields In the senatorial
campaign, with the veteran Senator
Theodore Burton dead and Walter T..

basSador to France The Republican
leaders in New Jersey, however. believe
they have solved their problem by win
ming the consent of Dwight w. Morrow.
Ambassador to Mexico, to run for the
Senate. Mr.. Morrow is an outstanding
figure, a man of great capacity, with
a national reputation. The Republicans
are confident they can nominate him
for the long term at the Jersey pri-
maries next year over the opposition
OF former Senator Frelinghuysen or any
