|SENATE NOMINEES
MOSTLY CHOSEN
New York, New Mexico and
Rhode Island to Make
Early Selections.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Democrats and Republicans have
made their nominations for the IS
seats in the Senate at issue on Novem-
ber s, except in three States, New
York, New Mexico and Rhode Island,
where party conventions will select
the candidates within the next three
weeks.
In nearly every case, the Demo-
Gratis have picked strong supporters
of the New Deal. However, their re-
cent selection in Wisconsin, John M
Callahan. has been regarded as a
conservative and has been an Al
Smith Democrat. Former Gov. Theo-
dore G. Bilbo, the Democratic nominee
for the Senate in Mississippi. has
pledged his support of the President
although he has radical ideas that
may go beyond the New Deal. Their
nominee, Vic Donahey, in Ohio, was
not the choice of the administration
leaders, but Donahey is out for the
New Deal now and has been congratu-
lated by Chairman Farley of the
Democratic National Committee.
G. o. p. Against New Deal.
The Republicans, on the other hand
have senatorial candidates who with
one or two exceptions, are campaign
ing against the New Deal. Hiram
Johnson in California is New Dealer
and Senator Vandenberg in Michigan
Is supporting parts of the new deal.
New Mexico's political conventions
take place tomorrow. The Republic
ans and Progressives, in Joint meeting
will hold their convention in Santa
Fe and the Democrats in Albuquerque.
The present prospects are that Sena-
tor Cutting will be renominated by
the Republicans and that former Gov.
r. C. Dillon is likely to get the nomi-
nation for the short term the remain
der Of the term for which Judge
Bratton was elected.
Copeland to Get Call.
New York Democrats gather IN
State convention on Wednesday and
now no doubt that Senator Copeland
will be named to succeed himself
Copeland has patched up his differ
ences with the Roosevelt leadership or
vice versa. The G. o. P. is to meet in
convention in Rochester on Thursday
for showdown between the Old
Guard. as represented by Smell. Mills.
Wadsworth and Dawson. and w.
Kirgsland Macy, chairman OF the
State committee. and his following
The big row in the Republican ranks
is over the nomination for Governor
with Macy demanding fusion can
didate-Judge Samuel Seabury. inde-
pendent Democrat-while the Old
Guard is putting forward Robert
Moses. park commissioner.
Rhode Islands State conventions
are Democratic on October 3. Re-
publican on october 10. The Republi-
cans are expected to renominate Ser a.
tor Hebert. while the Democrats may
select former Senator Peter q. Gerry
There is row in the Democratic
party there Of serious dimensions
however. Gerry has been dubbed an
OuJSlOeT-a N6W 1OTkGI-dllo d ptItAl-
NAL candidate.
Outside of these few nominations
the list is complete for the senatorial
campaign. The Republicans have
failed to nominate candidates for the
Senate in Mississippi and Florida
Those States are regarded, as sc
strongly Democratic that it is waste
of time to nut I'D Republicans merely
TO have them knocked down. The
Socialist party, however, has nomi.
mated candidate to run against
Senator Park Trammell in Florida
He is Gordon Nye of Orlando.
