Democrats hope to win many electoral

country. Much may Gepend on the i'm

NAV gain by his trip. On the other
hand, a presidential candidate in 1916
might have been elected had he not
ventured into California.
The national convention of the Amer
lean Legion in Oregon will hold the
attention of the politicians. 1t is al
most a foregone conclusion that the
convention will go on record over
vhelmingly in favor OF the immediate
cash payment of the soldiers bonus
which has been strongly opposed by the
Hoover administration on the ground
that the finances of the Government
could not stand such a strain at this
time But that is not all. If the con-
vention attacks the administration and
the President because of their evacua-
ton of the B. E. F. from Washington
last July, and does so in Scathlng terms.
there may be political repercussions OF
wide extent.
Roosevelt Stand Awaited.
Sooner or later Gov. Roosevelt will
be called upon to tell his stand on the
payment Of the soldiers bonus. 1t is
believed by those close to Roosevelt
that he will declare himself anxious to
pay the bonus at the earliest possible
date the Treasury is able to meet the
additional burden of that payment.
Some say he may at the same time de-
plore the use of the Army to evacuate
the veterans from Washington.
Primary elections will be held Tues
day in Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana,
Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Washington. Georglas primary
falls on Wednesday.
In Arizona it is expected that Sen
ator Hayden, Democrat, will be re-
nominated to run against Noval Smith,
Republican candidate. Representative
Douglas, Democrat, is seeking renoml-
nation against four contenders and Gov.
Hunt is seeking a nomination for an
eighth term.
Former Senator Alva Adams Is fight
ing it out in Colorado for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination against
John T. Barnett, who has been Demo-
cratic national committeeman. Mate
Warren and Judge G. Foster Warrent
are opponents for the Republican nom
ination.
Senator Broussard, Democrat, is de-
Tending himself in the louisiana prl-
mary against Senator Huey Long S
protege, John H. Overton. II Overton
wins, it means the domination OF the
States representation in the Senate and
the Governors chair by the self-styled
"KingfiSh," Senator Long.
The veteran Senator Wesley L. Jones'
Republican Is opposed in Washington
by Adam Beeler, but is expected to WIN
denomination. On the Democratic side,
Stephen F. Chadwick and Edwin j.
Brown, both of Seattle, are seeking
nomination.
Wednesday the Democrats Of Georgia
will renominate Senator Walter F
George, who is without opposition, and
will decide between Representative
Charles r. Crisp, veteran House mem
ber, and Gov. Richard B. Russell for the
nomination to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Harris.
Cramton to Try Again.
Two strongly Republican States, Yer
mont and New Hampshire, are to re-
nominate their sitting Senators, Dale
and Moses, in Tuesdays primaries. In
Michigan, candidates for House seats
will be chosen and also for Governor.
Former Representatives Grant M. Hud-
son and Louis C. Cramton, ardent drys
who were defeated fer denomination In
1880 by "wets," are trying their luck
again Tuesday.
Irrespective Of the outcome In the
presidential election, the Democrats are
claiming control of both Houses OF Con-
gresS as a result Of the November elec-
ton. Particularly do they seem to be
confident that they will win the control
of the Senate, which they lack now by
only two seats. The States in which
they claim they can unseat Republican
Senators at the coming elections are
Colorado, New Jersey, Indiana, oregon,
Nevada, Illinois and Washington. They
even are turning eXpectant eyes toward
Pennsylvania, where Gov. Pnchot Is
threatening, they say, to run as an IN
dependent Republican against Senator
James j. Davis and upset the apple cart
for the Republicans. Senator Davis at
present is facing an indictment charg-
ing violation of the lottery laws of the
United States in connection with the
Moose organization.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
NAV face serious difficulty in holding
Senate seats they now have in Kansas,
Ohio and New York. Senator McGill,
Democrat, seems doomed to defeat In
the SunfoWer State. Senator Buckley,
who won election two years ago in Ohio
as a wet Democrat against a dry Re
publican, is facing Gilbert Bettman, a
wet Republican Of Cincinnati, who was
elected Attorney General in 1880. Bett-
man is regarded as a far more serious
opponent for Senator Bulkley than was
his Republican opponent in 1880.
Smith Mentioned for Senate.
New Yorks rather chaotic Democratic
political situation may make it d1t-
ficult for Senator Wagner to be re-
elected, although Senator Wagner has
made an admirable Senator, his Demo-
cratic colleagues say, and Is a strong
vote getter. In some quarters, 1t Is
even suggested that Wagner may be
drafted as candidate for Governor
which would make it necessary to name
some other Democrat for the Senate
possibly Alfred E. Smith. Mr.. Smith
running as a candidate for the Senate
on the ticket with Gov. Roosevelt might,
it is argued, make Democratic chances
in New York very much better than
they have been.
The death of Senator Waterman, Re
publican, of Colorado has made Is pos
| sible for the Democrats to pick up
Senator from that State in the present
Congress, which meets again next De.
cember. The Democratic Governor OF
the State, it is said, is to appoint a
Democrat to fill out the term. This
would put the Democrats within one Of
the coveted majority Of the Senate.
In New Jersey, Senator Barbour serv-
ing under appointment in place OF the
| late Senator Morrow is opposed In the
coming election to fill this vacancy by
Percy H. Stewart, Democrat. Provided
| the Democrats can win the New Jersey
| election, they will have an actual ma
| jority in the Senate when that body
meets December and can take over
organization and control without walt
| ing for the new Congress.
