Thompson's .victory was won tn spite
f 4he opposition of powerful Repub

He was also fought all the way by the

Krartk O, Lowden. r Thompson and Low
den, once friends, had a split over party
affairs and at the Republican national
convention Thompson, a delegate, re
signing, denounced Lowden for "at
tempting to buy the presidency." Be

party and the powerful personality of
. its candidate for governor, former Sen
ator J. Hamilton Lewis.
The story Is told of a precinct oap

V. Ladd of North Dakota, elected on
a joint Republican-Non-partisan league
ticket, although he made a campaign
pledge that he "would help the Re
publicans organize tha senate."
Ladd's attitude at the Republican
senatorial caucus at which this organi
sation will be effected will be awaited
with interest by Republican leaders who
have not forgotten the fight Senator
Borah of Idaho waged against Senator'
Penrose of Pennsylvania, and others of
the Republican "old guard" when ; the
present Republican senate majority was
organized two years ago.
WAIT BORAH'S 8TA3TI 1 :
. Borah is expected to renew his 'fight
when the new senate is organised, al
though Senator Penrose's friends re
gard his inability to take an active part
In that body, in view of his ill-health,
as a not remote policy of the senatorial
situation. In case of Penrose's enforced
absence, tha brunt of the "old guard"
leadership' probably will fall on Wat
son of Indiana, and Smoot of Utah.
Republican leaders ; tn sympathy with
the "old guard" ire hopeful the "Repub

WILL BR HABD1XG P1.AT
The' play to come will be a Harding
play and It will have in It no more
of the elementa of the Wilson or the
Roosevelt dramas than : a - revival of
"The Old Homestead" unrevlsed would
have of "Tha Jest" or "Juetice" or an
Ibsen piece. The star part will be played
by Harding in the manner of Harding
and the,, performance of that part, by
him will be no more akin to the per
formances of Roosevelt or Wilson than
Denman Thompson's work In "The Old
Homestead" was akin to Berrymore's
portrayal In "Justice,"
Of one thing the' American people may
rest assured. The ' national political
play and the acting- thereof for the next
four years is going to be a complete
change from the two bills that have
been most particularly prominent on the
Washington stage since Roosevelt first
became president
