(Special to The Evening News.)
BOSTON, Mass., July 19. The an
nouncement of United States Sena
tor W. Murray Crane that he will re
tire from congress ai 'ne lose of his
present term has 't t 11 the Bay
State politician u.' i..ie ea 8 and start
ed the buzzing of nunier us senator
ial bees on both sides of the politic
al fence. The leaders hw e awaken
ed to the fact that there Is little time
to lose in preparing for the contest,
as Senator Crane's term will expire
next .March aud his successor must
be selected by the legislature that
will be elected next November.
The first name, that flew to the
minds and the Hps of the republican
politicians when the Crane announce
ment was made, was that of Curtis
Guild. Jr., who served two terms as
governor of Massachusetts and .Js
now tho United States ambassador to
Russia. liy a seeming co-Incidence
Ambassador Guild arrived In New
York from St. Petersburg on the day
rollowlng the announcement of Sena
tor Crane of his Intention to retire.
The Ambassador's visit home was
very brief and Us real purpose haB
never been made public. The gen
eral opinion is that Mr. Guild would
like to be elected senator, but would
not enter into any active contest for
tho honor. - Ills selection, it Is be
lieved, would meet vi'h the unquull
Hed approval of Senator Crane.
But since Ambassador Guild re
turned to his post ut St. Petersburg
without making known his position
in regards to the senatorship, a
number of other leading men of the
epubllcnn party are preparing to get
Into tho race. It is considered cer
tain that Congressman S.uiui, I
McCuil. will shortly announce his
candidacy. That Congressman John
W. Weeks will do the same thing Is
regarded as equally certain. Anoth-
r who may cast his hat Into the ring
is Congressman Augustus P. Gard
ner. Mr. Gardner's plans, however.
hlr.ge on those of Mr. Guild. If the
latter Is a candidate, Mr. Gardner
will not enter the race.
Another possibility on the republi
can side Is Eben S. Draper, former
governor and millionaire manufac
turer. In speaking of the senator-
ship, Mr. Draper says: "I esteem,
the United States senatorship very
highly. The place has a great at
traction for me. I am Berlously con
sidering becoming a candidate for It.'
Hut the fight for Senator Crane's
seat Is not to be confined to the re
publican party by any means. Be
lieving that the nomination of Wood-
row Wilson will have tho effect of
bringing out a heavy democratic vote
In Massachusetts next November, the
MassachuseVs democrats fell that a
good democratic candidate for the
senate would not bo wasting his time
by making the fight.
So far Mayor John F. Fitzgerald,
of Boston, Is the only democratic
candidate actively In the field for the
senatorship. The name of Governor
Foss has been mentioned In connec
tion with the toga, but so far he has
taken no step to enter the race. Mr.
Foss recently gave out that he In
tended to letlre from the governor
ship at the end of his present term,
but his closest political friends expect
that he will become a candidate for
renomlnation this fall.
A few weeks hence Mayor Fitzger
ald will begin his speaking cam
paign for the senatorship. "Govern
or Foss has assured tue that he will
not be a candidate for the United
States senate against me," says May
or Fitzgerald, "all reports to the con
trary notwithstanding. I do not
know whether tho governor intends
to seek re-election. There Is no reas
on In my mind why the next legl'ls
Jnre should not be democratic. The
neople will certainly see a campaign
