Norbeclc Strong; Candidate.
To win .this seat the republicans are
relying upon the present republican
governor of the state, Peter Norbeck.
Norbeck Is a strong candidate, but
here again there are local conditions
which make it reasonably probable
that the republican senatorial candi
date will run behind Harding:.
All in all, even conceding- the un
mistakable force of the Maine elec
tion, it Is still a fact that the repub
licans have no easy task ahead of
them in winning a comfortable major

pected that the principal activities of

cause they felt Wilson was the Rg
' gre'ssor, but they have done it all the
same.. Harding- knows well that if
. ha were elected president, and if the
democrats had control of the senate,
the democratic senate would bedevil
him Just as much as the republican
senators have bedeviled Wilson.
Senatorial "Votes Needed.
That Is what really lies behind all
the talk of Harding going off the
front porch. All such trips as he takes
will' be less for the purpose of adding
votes to his own majority than for
the purpose of helping republican
senatorial candidates in states where
the republicans are especially eager
to elect senators. He is anxious to
get a comfortable working majority
in the senate and, in addition to that,
he is particularly eager for the return
of certain especially important sen
ators. Harding would probably count a
trip to the Rocky mountains as a
small price to pay if it would guaran
tee the return of Senator Smoot of
Utah. Incidentally, this feeling that
it is desirable for Smoot to be re
turned is not confined to Harding nor
to republicans. Many persons whose
vlmvTvnlnt is non-Dartisan, know that
Smoot has a greater ramuiamy "
the conduct of the government s busi
ness than any other senator and that
if he should not be in the senate for
the inevitable reorganization of the
government business during the next
few years it would be a loss to the
country. If Harding takes a western
trip it may be assumed that the re
turn of Smoot is one of his chief con
cerns, and it may equally be assumed
that all the trips Harding takes will
be designed to help insure Bafe repub
lican majority in the senate.
Concern Well Grounded.
The republican concern over the
senate Is well grounded. There are
munv cases in which the republicans
are serenely confident of Harding
carrying the state, but freely admit
that the republican candidate for sen
ator in the' same state will fall meas
urably below Harding's vote. In fact.
there are some republican senators
runninar for re election whose success
m riouhtful. "
The republicans have not merely the
task nf winninar several seats from
the democrats, but of saving some of
the seats they now have. One case is
in. Indiana. Whether or not Indiana
n doubtful state as between Hard
ing and Cox, it is more certainly
doubtful as between the two candl
dates for the Senate. Watson and
Taggart. There is hardly a repub
lican leader but will admit that Wat
on'i vote will probably fall more
than 10.000 below Harding's vote.
' Lenroot Wtll Have Hard Fight.
T. Another similar case is Wisconsin
.'Lenroot won a hard-fought contest in
the republican primaries and has
'nassed that hazard. That contest is
too recent for the forces of Wlscon-
" sin politics to have realigned them
selves with sufficient deflniteness to
' enable any one to make an accurate
t forecast now, but if has been fully
conceded that in the event of Lenroot
-winning, many of those who opposed
him in the primaries so savagely
; would carry their bitterness into the
; general election in November.
Moreover, the democrats in Wlscon
In have nominated a very good man
, in the person of Paul S. Relnsch. for
" merly a professor of economics in th
University of Wisconsin ana mor
lately ambassador to China.
New York is another state in which
It is conceded that .the republican
candidate for senator, Mr. Wadsworth
is likely to get fewer .votes than
- Harding. Another such state la Con
necticut, and there are many others
in the west.
Ohio Most Doubtful.
The republicans now have one of
the two senators from Missouri, and
he is . candidate for re-election. His
democratic opponent is not the strong
est possible candidate, but for the
republicans a senator from Missouri
1b always in peril.
Ohio is, of course", at once the most
doubtful of the doubtful states, and
the most important. In Ohio a senator
is to be elected to fill Harding's seat.
V The republican nominee. ex-Congress-
man and .ex-Governor Willis, is from
' any non-partisan point of view a less
desirable, candidate than the demo
- cratlc nominee. Mr. Julian, who is a
successful Cincinnati business man
with an intelligent and forceful in
terest in progressive measures. Ohio
republicans who concede that Julian
Is the better man grin and add, "but
Willis Is "better known."
Idaho Will See Hard Flrtt
So much for the republicans Bavin g
the seats they now have. When it
comes to winning additional seats
from the democrats, they are obliged
to make their fights In states where.
as it happens, local conditions are less
favorable to the republican candidates
for senator than they are to the re
publican candidate for president.
iaa.no lor example Has one' re
publican senator, Borah, and one dem
- ocratic senator, Nugent. Nugent Is
now up for re-election. The republic
ans are quite confident about Harding
carrying Idaho but when it comes to
the republican candidate for senator
beating Nugent, it. is conceded that
this is a different matter. There is a
. local condition in Idaho which favorb
Nugent at the expense of his re
publican opponent, ex-Governor Good
lr.gr. Idaho had a direct primary law.
A republican legislature repealed this
law and repealed it under circum
stances that caused resentment
throughout tha state. This resent
rr.ent, it is expected, will express it
self not in the vote between Harding
and Cox, but in the vote between Nu
sent and Gooding.-
Phelan Popular In California.
Another state where the republic
ans have hoped to get a senatorial
seat from the democrats Is California.
Most well-informed judges believe
that Harding will carry California
this year, but tarrying California for
Harding, is one thing and carrying It
for the new republican senatorial
nominee, Samuel Shortridge. as
against the sitting democratic sena
tor. Phelan, is another matter.
Phelan is popular in California and

of votes more than Cox gets, and may
well be able to hold his seat.
The republicans also hope to win
the Colorado seat recently abdicated
by the democratic Senator Thomas.
They hope, also, to win the South Da

Humane Officer Has Beast Taken
Away . From Owner
to Be Shot.
A horse that was "shoulder-galled.
lame, heave-stricken, rickety, deaf
and worth less than one dollar." ac
cording to Mrs. F. W. Swanton, secre
tary of the Oregon Humane society,
came to the attention, of Mrs. Swan-
ton yesterday. ;
The horse was 'too weak and too
worthless, she stated, to be used even
for advertising a motion picture bill,
which was 4t occupation at the time
Mrs. Swanton found it, she said. She
ordered the animal condemned to
death and the driver of an ambulance
for horses took It off to' be shot.
The discovery of the horse caused
the issuance of a warrant against
C. S. Jensen, senior member of the
firm of Jensen & Von Herberg. He
has been asked to appear before Judge
Itossman tomorrow morning.
The horse is said to have belonged
to Alex MacMullen, owner of a livery
stable at-East Ninth street and Haw

PARIS, Sept. 18. (Special Cable.)
President Paul Deschanel's reslgna
tion from the post of chief executive
of - the French republic has burst
open the floodgates of political fore
casts and speculation is unsurpassed
for intensity of feeling, except per
haps by that preceding the last elec
tion. Then, upon the retirement of
President Raymond Poincare. the
"Tiger" Clemenceau, the "father of
victory," strove for the supreme
honor and lost to a darkhorse.
Apart from a few newspapers
known for their hostility to a repub
lican regime generally and to Desch
anel personally, the news of his res
ignation evokes a flow or warm
sympathy for the sick man of Ram
boulllet. None of the Important news
papers permit the poignant tragedy
of his mental breakdown to escape
them. Involving as it does the annl
filiation of one of the finest Intellects
in France, so far as any noteworthy
part in the politics of his country in
the immediate future is concerned.
Not only are the leaders of the varl
oua parties In search of a man who
would adequately personify their sev
eral Interests at the Elysee palace,
but it is clear that larger Issues, hav
ing to do with the whole question of
the republican regime, are rapidly
coming into play as the result of Des
chanel's resignation.
One of the conservative nlembers of
the chamber of deputies declares pub
licly that Marshal Ferdinand Foch
can count on every conservative vote
in the national assembly when that
body Is convoked' at Versailles to
choose Deschanel's successor.
Gene de Castelnau, another of the
parties of the extreme right. Includ
ing even the royalists, takes place be
tide Marshal Foch as one of the doz
ens of candidates already put forward.
But republican opinion is being rallied
against any man who could, even con
ceivably, endanger the present regime
so that Leon Bourgeois, who Is nom
inally' of republican convictions, yet
ho is not considered absolutely
sure, might not pass scrutiny, even
had he not at the outset eliminated
hifself from the presidential race by
stating he prefers to retain the presi
dency of the Benate and head of the
league of nations council.
Towering above all suggested can
didates still stands Premier Alexandre
Millerand. Although Stephane Lau
sanne, In a dispatch from Geneva pub
lished In the Matin, quotes Millerand
as. firmly rejecting the idea of run
nmg tor the presidency, it is not byl
avuy iiichiib isftcn lor graniea in gov
ernment and political quarters that
the premier has spoken the final word.
Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de Paris,
also published an interview in which
he quotes Millerarfa as cleverly sup
porting Charles Jonnart, the influen
tial veteran politician from north
