ages or lose considerable prestige in
Democratic primary elections next
week. Six of the Is primaries sche-
duled during August will be held with
in five days. Senate nominations are
at stake in Kansas, Missouri, Tennes-
see and Kentucky, with primaries in
Virginia and West Virginia involve
only representatives.
The outcome of two senatorial con-
tests on Tuesday appears reasonably
practicable. Capitol politicians be-
lieve Senator McGill, who has only
nominal opposition, will win in Kan
sas, and they expect the Missouri nom
ination to go to Bennett Champ Clark
an administration leader in the
Senate, who has powerful State and
city organization backing.
Thus, in the first two major 2rima-
ries, the administration should break

Democratic forces.

that, unless further rains came, the

share of a construction program for
indispensable public buildings, the
program to cost probably between five

The governor said he will not hesi-
