JULY 26, 1914 BRITISH SOCIETY OUTWITTED BY CHARMING AMERICAN WOMAN I DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO RETAIN SENATE Republicans, However, Expect to Make Gains in at Least Four of States. TARIFF VOTES UNPOPULAR Wntrrn Members Who Followed VUaMI Whon They Might Have Won Concessions h Independ ent Stand Arc Vulnerable. Continued rmm rint r. roundly criticised locally for having surrendered In the tariff fight when, by holding out. they wit! a few others whose terms do not expire next year might havo forced material changes in that bill before It became a law. Indiana Democrat Probable. The Democrats from the South are reasonably sure of re-election, or will be succeeded by other Democrats, and an 11th Democrat. Senator Shively. of Indiana. Is likely to be returned be rauae of the split in the opposition in his state. Shively probably will be op posed by ex-Governor Durbin. Repub lican, and by ex-Senator Beveridge. Bull Moose, and In a three-cornered fight such as this the prospects favor tShively. The ten Democrats who will be returned or be succeeded by other Dmccrata are: Clarke. Arkansas; Fletcher. Florida; Gore, Oklahoma; Overman. North Carolina; Smith. South Carolina; Smith. Georgia; Smith. Mary land: Stone. Missouri; Thornton. Louisi ana, and White, Alabama. Represen tative Underwood, of course, will be the new Senator from Alabama. On the other hand there are 13 Re- publicans who either will be re-elected or give way to others, probably Re publicans. They are: Brady. Idaho; Brandegee. Connecticut; Crawford. South Dakota; Cummins, Iowa; Dil lingham. Vermont; Gallinger. New Hampshire: Gronna. North Dakota; Jones. Washington: Penrose. Pennsyl vania; Perkins. California: Root. New York; Smoot, Utah, and Stephenson. Wis. This leaves in doubt the Sena torial contests in five states, four of them now represented by Republican Senators. These states are Kentucky. Kansas, Ohio. Illinois and Wisconsin. w York Counted as Republican. New Tork is listed among the states to return a Republican Senator to suc ceed Root because of the unpopularity of the Administration, and the disap proval of the work of the Democratic Congress, and because the Administra tion has brought about a split In the . New York Democracy that Is sure to be a factor In the election there this Fall. Sanator Root, of course, has . eliminated himself, but the Republican H nominee, if the selection be a wise one. is expected to win. The third party has dwindled into insignificance In New York, and is not expected to be a factor, but even so. the New York Democracy is split quite as wide as - the Republican party of the state, and the Democratic candidate for Senator will not profit by reason of the .: presence of a third party candidate for the Senatorsblp. Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, probably is in more danger than any ether Senator on the foregoing list, because he has always been regarded as a friend and partisan of the New ' Haven Railroad, but he is without op position in his own party, and the Democracy of Connecticut, like that of New York, la badly split at the present time. Senator Crawford, of course, will give way to Representative Burke, who handily won the Republican nomination at the South Dakota primaries some time ago. Jonr, Ptrked to Win la Washington. The Washington Senatorial contest is to be a three-cornered affair, but Republican headquarters Is satisfied that Senator Jones will be returned. Ills probable Bull Moose opponent. Mr. Falconer, has utterly failed to make good in Congress, and is himself under fire because he lost most of bis Pro gressive Ideas when he arrived In Washington. There is every reason to believe that Senator Penrose will be re-elected in II Pennsylvania. Glfford Plnchot, his Bull Moose opponent, proved so lamentably weak at the primaries as to render his candidacy ridiculous, and Representa tive Palmer, the Democratic nominee, is . facing a divided party, the division being the result of the recent primary ..' election. Personally. Palmer is one of the most disliked men in Congress, and the Democratic fight against him is tremendous. California is another state In which the third party has gone to pieces. Sen ator Perkins is not a candidate for re election, and the Republican race Is be- . tween Representative Knowland and e.x- Representative Needham. Francis J. Heney hopes to be the Bull Moose can didate, but Californians in Congress as sert that "Heney is done." so far as California politics Is concerned. He Is opposed by Chester Rowell, of Fresno, a ' vigorous and talented newspaper editor. Ex-Mayor Phelan Is an aspirant for I the Democratic nomination. The proa,- I; pects In California decidedly favor the Republicans this year. Stephenson Likely to Retire. Senator Stephenson, of Wisconsin, has not announced himself a candidate for renominatlon and probably will re tire next March. There are candidates galore for his seat, and the Senatorial situation in Wisconsin Is probably more muddled than in any other state. Gov- D ernor McGovern. who fell out with Sen- " ator La Follette at the time of the Chi cago convention two years ago, Is a candidate for the Republican nomina tion: the old line Republicans are backing ex-Attorney-General Bancroft, and the La Follette faction is looking about for a candidate, not yet agreed upon. The Bull Moose party in Wiscon sin Is .not organized, and probably will not be a factor in the Senatorial contest this year. The Wisconsin Democracy is badly split, but might elect the next Senator, owing to the discord in the other parties. If its own factions could - be brought together. The outlook In Wisconsin Is said to be bad for the La Follette candidate, ', whoever ho may be, for the big issue in the state Is high taxes, for which the La Follette crowd is held responsible. If the Democrats could come together and nominate a good candidate, he would receive many Republican votes, as a big element In the Republican party H in the state wants to have an end of La Follotte and his methods. They do : not want a La Follette man for Sen ator. So complicated is the situation that no sort of prediction as to the Senatorial contest is worth the paper I on which It is written.

El'STIS. doubtful, that in Kentucky likely will go to a Demjcrat. Senator Bradley. who died recently, was a Kepumu-an. His place was filled temporarily by the appointment of Senator Camden, demo crat, and another Democrat likely will be elected next November. Kansas promises to stage an inter esting Senatorial fight, with Joe Bris tow seeking re-election as a Repub lican, being opposed in the Republican primary by ex-Senator Curtis. Repre sentative Murdock, the Bull Moose leader In the House, also is after this aeat, and a wide split is likely to re sult from this rivalry, a split which may result In electing whatever Demo crat Is nominated at the primaries on August 4. Brlstow Is In bad In Kansas, for while he calls himself a Repub lican, he ha8 usually acted with the Progressives, and yet goes Into the Re publican caucus. Actually, he Is neither Republican nor Bull Moose, and is dis approved by a large faction in both par ties. Murdock. on the other hand. Is strong with the Kansas Progressives, and If the fight ultimately Is between Brlstow. Murdock and a Democrat, the Democrat will most likely win. If Cur tis should defeat Brlstow for the Re publican nomination, the Kansas situa tion would be further complicated. Burton, of Ohio. Not Candidate. Senator Burton, of Ohio, has an nounced that he will not be a candi date for re-election. Already ex-Senator Foraker always a storm center has declared "his candidacy, and ex Representative Ralph D. Cole has said he will seek the Republican nomina tion. Tho Bull Moose probably will choose A. L. Garford. John J. Lentz is after the Democratic nomination, as are several others. Until the nomina tions are made. It will be difficult to alze up the Ohio situation. Senator Sherman, of Illinois, is thus far without Republican opposition. Rhger Sullivan Is after the Democratic nomination along with Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara, and Raymond Robbing wants the Bull Moose nomination. Sher man has always been progressive In his Republicanism, and his friends believe he will be re-elected, especially if he is opposed by Sullivan. Robblns ia not expected to be a formidable factor. From this review of the situation, it appears that while the Republicans may gain four seats In the Senate, from Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona, there Is a possibility that they may lose in Kansas. Ohio. Illinois and Wiscon sin, but the party leaders who are mak ing preliminary plans for the cam paign have strong hopes for all these states save Kansas, and In that state It is admitted anything is likely to happen. However the situation is viewed there seems to be no hope of a Republican gain of six votes in the Sen ate, and without a gain of six the Re publicans must continue in the minor ity in the upper branch of Congress for another two years.

DANCE IS RUDE SURPRISE Young Men or Exclusive Set Adopt Visitors and Make Them Honor t Guests at Function Unspon sored Jty Prestige. LONDON, July 26. (Special.) In spite of the opposition of the Anglo American social court that passes upon the desirability of every American aspirant for entrance Into British so ciety, Mrs. James B. Eustis, wife of the former American Ambassador to France, and Mrs. Linda Thomas, of Philadelphia, have taken the city by storm. A dance arranged by the young men from some of the most exclusive fami lies Of the city, at which the two wom en were honor guests, gave the divis ion the worst shock that it has re ceived in social circles in England In years. Prominent American women who have tried to make their way into Eng lish society In recent years without the support of this division have dis covered that it Is as easy for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle as it is to be adopted by the exclusive set without the Indorsement of- these women. The set Is composed of leaders from both the British and the American sec tions at court. The action of the young men In arranging the dance comes as a distinct surprise not only to this di vision which has ruled affairs with an Iron hand for years but to those Amer ican women who have failed to make their way into the higher circles be cause of the "cold shouldering" that they have received.
