Pennsylvania
Seems Close

We might perhaps have in
cluded Pennsylvania as GER
tain to return Senator Davis,
Republican. We have left it
in doubt because of the in
sistence from knowing quar-
ters that Roosevelt has a
chance to carry the State
this autumn. We personally
think he has only a bare
fighting chance. 1t is prob
able that he could carry the
State and the Democrats still
lose the senatorship.
To be perfectly fair, then,
let us add Pennsylvania to
the list of certain Republican
States giving the Republi-
cans two and the Democrats
twelve.

States Where
Battles Loom

Unless there are tactlonal
dissensions in the Democratic
party in Connecticut, the
Democrats should carry the
State for the presidential
ticket. This would be apt to
sweep in the Democratic SEN
atorial nominee. The Re-
publican nominee, Senator
Bingham, however, is apt to
be stronger than Hoover be-
cause of the position he holds
on prohibition. his, then, is
a battling State.
In Illinois there will be a
struggle. Normally the ad-
vantage would be with Sena-
tor Glenn because of the Re-
publican majorities down
State. There can be no doubt
of a sweeping Democratic
majority in Chicago. 1t re-
quires more temerity than we
possess to undertake to bal
ance the one against the
other. Another battle

In Missouri, Senator

Ohio, Oklahoma
Hardly Doubtful

Someone may challenge
the conclusion as to Ohio,
but there is every present
indication that the electoral
vote of Ohio will go to
Roosevelt and that Senator
Buckley, the incumbent in
the Senate, who is exception
ally popular, will be tri-
umphantly returned. For the
sake of an argument some
one may question the pre-
diction that the Democratic
nominee for the Senate IN
Oklahoma will be returned;
but if the Democrats do not
carry Oklahoma this year 1t
will be Hoover landslide
Of which no one even
dreams.
Thus Of the 30 Senators
TO be chosen we may put
down 12 as sure to be Demo-
Gratis and one Republican.

ONCE-OVERS

Their freedom would be to
do evil.
So isn't it a good thing most
of us are under a check rein?
If the majority conducted
themselves without thought Of
others or the consequences en-
tailed, this would be a far
more miserable world in which
to live.
The right of others would
be trampled, wouldn't they?
You have no wrong desires,
might not act unfairly.
But complete liberty would
not bring you real satisfac-
ton.
You'd be just like other
humans and carry it too far.
In fact, so far that you
would later have many regrets.
It's we'll you're held down.

= the members of the Sem
ate expire this year and they
are up for reelection in the
event of their denomination.
There appears at this mo-
ment to be no doubt that the
next House will be strongly
Democratic. In truth there
is a serious danger that 1t
may be too heavily so; for
when there is an unwleldly
majority there is usually less
solidarity than is desirable.
The Senate today is Re-
publican; though with the
the aid of progressive Re-
publicans the Democrats are
able to dominate, and have
dominated over Hoover in
numerous instances, 1t is
best for a party to have a
clear majority of its own
and not to be dependent on
temporary alliances.
In hazarding guess on
the result of the senatorial
elections this year, we may
safely exclude from discus
sion the States where we
may be sure there will be no
political overturn.
There are fourteen of
these, and of the fourteen
the Democrats are certain to
carry all but one. Certainly
the Democratic nominees
will be reelected in Ken
lucky, Alabama, Louisiana, M
Ohio, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Arizona, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Oklahoma and Maryland.
The Republican nominee in
Vermont is just as certain

Kansas Democrat
Sure to Return

While the Republicans
holding from Washington,
Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and
Colorado would under nor
NAL conditions have the ad-
vantage, there is a strong
probability that Roosevelt
will carry all these States;
and if he does the Demo
cratic Senatorial nominees
will sweep in with him.
The Democrat from Kansas
is almost sure of election.
1t is no secret that Vice
President Curtis seriously
considered refusing a renom-
ination at Chicago to run for
the Senate from Kansas. He
made a careful survey of the
State and concluded, we may
assume from his action, that
Hoover has as much chance
for reelection as has a Re-
publican Senatorial nominee
from Kansas.
In Iowa, where Senator
Brookhart was defeated for
denomination, the Democrat
has all the advantage. In the
two Dakotas there is every
indication of a Roosevelt
victory; but the two sitting
Republican Senators have
been anti-Hoover and these
not unreasonably may pre-
vail. This, however, does
not contribute to Republican
comfort.

Fight to Defeat
Senator Reed Smoot

Can the Democrats defeat
Reed Smoot, the oldest Sena-
tor in point of service in
Utah2 They think they can.
1t is of some significance
that his supporters there are
now appealing for him on
the ground that he is old
and unfortunate financially,
and should be given a big
sympathy vote. This contest
will be a battle, at any rate,
that only the polls can
settle.
In Indiana, Senator Wat
son is doomed. He thinks
so. His most ardent friends
think so, and say so. The
State unquestionably will 60
to Roosevelt by a handsome
majority. His Democratic
opponent is a very able and
popular man-and Watson
himself is not what he used
to be. 1t is almost a safe
bet at this juncture that
Watson will 60 down.
In New York it seems in
credible that Senator Wag-
ner, who has made a re-
markable record of impor-
tant public service should
be defeated.

always leaves some scars.

certain to re-elect Demo-

Of Importance

In Wisconsin, Senator
Blaine, anti-Hoover Repub-
lican, would only be en-
dangered should the factional
bitterness there impel the
reactionaries to support the
Democratic nominee in a
spirit of vengeance.
This brings US down to
five important contests-in
California, Utah, New York,
Indiana and New Jersey.
The amazing showing made
by the Democrats in Cali
fornia in the registration
justifies the hopes of the
party there. If they are able
to present a solid front they
are almost sure to win. Nc
Adoo will probably be the
Democratic nominee; and
while he is not so strong in
San Francisco as in South
ern California, his differ
ences with leaders there are
being ironed out. Nowhere
is there more bitter dissatis-
faction with the fruits of the
Hoover Administration.

 Tho withdrawal meant stag gering loss to early bettors. All bets made on winter books stand as property Of tho bookles.
