the Republican party and It's return to
power: even that conditions might
almost overnight, so change as to over

While the Senate, as the result OF
the 1884 elections, will undoubtedly
remain Democratic, the contest ever
reduction of the majority in that body
will be interesting or intense. The
fights in number of States will draw
Nationwide attention because Of the
personageS involved, not to mention
the issues. In at least three States
Tennessee, New Mexico and Mon
tana-there will be double Senatorial
elections. Altogether, the successors are
to be elected next year to seventeen
Republican Senators, seventeen Demo-

In Tennessee, Senator Kenneth Nc
| Kellar, Democrat. Is up for reelection
in the regular order of things. Senator
Nathan L. Bachman, who was appoint
ed to succeed Cordell Hull when he
went into the cabinet as Secretary of
State, will also be up. Senator Nc
Kellar, strong vote-getter, Is expected
| to be renominated and reelected
easily. Whether Senator Bachman will
have strong opposition is not yet clear.
It Is assumed the Democrats will hold
the State
Cuttings Foes Organize.
In New Mexico, Senator Bronson
Cutting, Republican, comes up regu-
larly for reelection next year. Two
Senators are to be elected in that State
due to the resignation of Senator Sam
G. Bratton, Democrat, to 90 on the
Federal bench. Senator Cutting is q
Progressive Republican, with a strong
grip in his State. He has stirred up
powerful opposition in the Republican
party, however, by his support Of Mr.
Roosevelt as against Mr.. Hoover. It is
rumored that Senator Cutting will be
opposed for the Republican nomina-
ton by former Representative Albert
Gallatin Sims, who married Mrs. Ruth
Hanna Mccormick of Illinois, widow OF
the late Senator Medill Mccormick.
Mrs. Mccormick: who will help en-
gineer the fight for her husband. is
strategist, even though she was de-
feated by Senator James Hamilton
Lewis in Illinois.
Besides there is question whether
Senator Cutting will get Democratic
support even though he supported
Roosevelt for President. 1t will be re-
called he was q leader in opposition to
the administrator program to cut the
veterans benefits in the extra session.
On the Democratic side, Gov. Arthur
Seligman has senatorial ambitions and
tative Dennis Chavez, a former en-
ployee of the Senate and q graduate
Of Georgetown Law School here.
Wheeler Victory Conceded.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler. Demo-
crat, will seek another term in Mon
tana next year At the same time, a
successor will have to be elected to
Senator John E. Erickson. Democrat,
of that State. Senator Erickson was
Governor when the late Senator
J.
lected by President Roosevelt for At
torney General. Mr.. Erickson resigned
the Governorship and obtained the
Senatorship when the Lieutenant Gov
ernor became Governor. This method
of securing Senatorial honors stirred
criticism in Montana, but nevertheless
Senator Erickson will attempt to sue
coed himself. Senator Wheeler's re-
election is considered assured.
Outstanding senatorial fights In
which the Democrats will make strong
efforts to defeat Republican incum-
bents will be in Ohio. Maryland, West
Virginia. Missouri and Indiana.
In Ohio, Senator Simeon D. Fess,
Republican, former national chairman,
has already announced himself a can
d1date for another term. Senator FeSs
Is dry and may have sharp opposition
for the nomination. On the Demo-
cratic side, Gov. George White and
former Gov. James M. Cox, now dele
gate to the London Conference, are
both mentioned. Industrial conditions
will have much to do with the Ohio
election outcome.
In Maryland. Senator Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, Republican, will seek an
other term. 1t is generally assumed
Gov. Albert c. Richie can have the
Democratic senatorial nomination for
the asking. Having already broken
the record for length of service In the
Governorship in Maryland, Gov. Richie
nevertheless Is inclined to stay In that
office still longer. If he does not seek
the senatorship. there will be several
Democratic aspirants, including Howard
Bruce Of Baltimore, national committee
man, and Maj. E. Brooke Lee of Silver
Spring.
Chiffon May Oppose Hatfield.
In West Virginia, Senator Henry D.
Hatfield, Republican, chairman Of the
Republican Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee, is likely to be opposed by for
mer Senator william z. Chiffon, Demo-
crat, and publisher of the Charleston
Gazette.
Senator r. c. Patterson, Republican,
OF Missouri, will seek another term.
Former Senator James A. Reed is q pos
stbtlity for nomination on the Demo-
cratic side, though there will be several
Democratic aspirants. Missouri Is one
Of the States on which the Democrats
are counting heavily in 1894.
Indiana, rs usual, will be the scene
OF desperate contest. Senator Arthur
r. Robinson, Republican, will be re-
nominated, according to present indj-
cations. Among the Democratic aspir-
ants are Representative Louis Ludlow,
veteran Washington correspondent and
author; Gov. Paul McNutt, and Repre-
sentative Arthur H. Greenwood, of the
seventh district.
Democrats say they will attempt to
capture the places held now by Sena-
tor Frederick Hale Of Maine, Senator
Felix Hebert Of Rhode Island, Sena-
tor Hamilton r. Kean Of New jersey,
Senator John g. Townsend Of Della
ware and Senator Frederic C. Walcott
of Connecticut, all Republicans of
