American ambassador to St. Petersburg,
former Governor Eben S, Draper, and
Congressmen McCall, Gardner and

Senator William xiden Smith la to

admittedly , strong in the Wolverine
state, are after Smith's, political scalp.
Several candidates are in the field for
the Smith toga, ir r
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota is

winter and the Democrats are confident

vada senator, a Democratic colleague. '
Editor Would Be Senator.
Well informed men in both parties
are inclined to the opinion that the
senatorial career of Henry E. Burnham
of New Hampshire is about closed. New
Hampshire has displayed strong pro
gressive tendencies and Governor Robert
P. Bass,, a sturdy Roosevelt henchman,
is mentioned as a possible candidate for
SenatoFurrtha;ra's seatRosecrans W;
Plllsburyy editor of the '- Manchester
Union, announcedhU candidacy Jtorjthe
senatorshlp last January. Henry H.
Hcllis of Concord is looked upon as
the Democratic choice. - 1 " ;
The future Of Senator Frank O. Brigga
of New Jersey is in doubt. The state
is regarded as very hopeful ground by
the DettioeratSr pa?oalariy slnce-the
nomination of Governor Wilson for pres
ident. The Repuhjican "party, is badly
split Into rival factions, which fact is
giving additional encouragement to the
Democrats.

Carolina. Senator Simmons is a can
didate for reelection and is opposed by
Governor W. W. Kltchin. '

dorsement. The party selections will

Senator Jonathan Bourne Jr., of Ore
gon, has fallen a victim to the state
wide primary, of which he was one of
the earliest and staunchest advocates.
The Republicans have selected Ben
Selling, a wealthy Portland merchant
to eucceed him. The Democratic choice
Js lrv Harry Lane, grandson of General
Joseph Lane, who was Oregon's first
territorial governor, one of her first
senators and a candidate for vice presi
dent on the Breckenrldge ticket in 1880.
Owing largely to poor liealth Senator
George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island
will not be a candidate for reelection.
"Little Rhody" has never. lacked sena
torial candidates andthere promises to
be the usual large field when the race
begins. The. Republicans expect to con
trol the legislature to be elected in Ko
vember. One of the men prominently
mentioned Ita succeed .Senator "Wetmore
is Judge LeBaron B. Colt, who con
tested the last senatorial election with
Henry: Y. Hpirftt"'." v' V"": v "'' r -

senator, later a Democrat and at last
accounts a Roosevelt recruit received
the Democratic indorsement for the
senatorshlp in the primary. ,
The situation In Tennessee is inter
esting' and is likely to become more so
before the senatorshlp is settled in the
November primary. So far the Demo
crats appear wary of measuring, lances
with former Governor Malcolm R. Pat
terson, who seeks the seat made vacant
by the death of Senator Robert L. Tay
lor and now filled by Newell Sanders,
a Republican appointee of Governor
Hooper. So far Judge Floyd Estill ap

Governor Patterson for the Demo

regarded as likely to rekindle all cf the
bitter factional strife within the Dem

sult that fusion control of the legists-j
ture and the election of an independent 1
candidate for United States senator are
regarded as possibilities.

West Virginia Doubtful

Democratic senators, one of whom, Clar

Elklns. " Senator Watson must stand for

Is not certain whether he can be re

to Wilson this fall and obtain a majority
in the new legislature.
Senator Francis E Warren; of Wyo
