Out in West Virginia there is being
staged next week a real contest for the
congressional district which has been
represented in Congress recently by the
late Representative Hoi i'.er. a Demo-
crat. The Republicans, as it was ex-
pected. have nominated for their candi-
date former Gov. Gore, who served also
ct one time as Secretary Of Agriculture
In Warrington. The Democrats have
picked Andrew Edmiston. a former
Democratic State chairman. The dis
tr1ct has been debatable ground In the
past, with Republicans and Democrats
alternsting In control. The COP. Is
putting up a real fight for this district,
and the Democrats are not making any
mistake that its loss would be consid-
cred political slap at the Roosevelt
administration. Both sides are putting

With the senatorial situation in
Pennsylvania considerably eased BY the
recent scquittal Of Senator James ].
Davis in his trial on charges of having
violated the lottery law. the observers
are wondering what will be the future
political plans Of Gov. Clifford Pinchot.
With Senator Davis assured the tenure
OF his seat in the Senate, there will be
only one senatorial election in the Key
stone State next year. when Senator
David A. Reed will be up for reelection.
Generally 1t Is expected that Senator
Reed will be renominated and re-
elected. Pennsylvania Is an oyerwhelm-
ingfy Republican State. Gov. Pinchot,
1t was thought, would get into the SEN
atorial race there were two Senate
seats to be contested next year. Under
the State law he cannot be q candi-
date to succeed himself for Governor
It seems scarcely probable, however,
that the Governor, who has been so ac-
tive In politics in Pennsylvania, Will not
figure in the contests next year. His
dlflculty would be To win q Republican
senatorial nomination. At present both
Senators come from the western end of
the State. Blu. the voters are likely to
continue this situation, notwithstanding
the old practice Of having both ends Of
the State represented in the Upper
House Of Congress.
