* ' RUNNING THE SENATF * + i Number of States Must Elect Senators This Year. NUMEROUS CANDIDATES ARE OUT s La Folletts of Wisconsin Will Havo Hard Fight On His Hands?Bryan Expected to Run for Senate in v Florida. Washington, D. 0.?The situation in several of the states regarding the coming senatorial primaries and elections was contained in a previous j Haskins letter. The present situation in ten other states, from the best in- j formation obtainable at this time, has l been collected, and is set. forth here. In Rhode Island both the Republican and Democratic nominations seem assured. Judging from present indications, Peter Gbelet Gerry, the present senator, will be renominated, and the Republicans are expected to give the nomination to former Governor G. L. Beeckman without serious opposition, k The real fight tln Rhode Island will come at the regular election in Novemoer. Both Gerry and Beeckman have the record or never naving sustained a defeat at the hands of their constituents. It is not possible to forecast the outcome of their contest. Pennsylvania .will elect two senators this autumn, due to the recent deaths of Senator Know and Penrose. Governor Sproul appointed William E. Crow to succeed Philander Chase Knor and George Wharton Pepper to succeed Boise Penrose. It is, believed that both of these appointed senators will be candidates for the nominations for the regular terms, although Senator Crow has been in such poor health that he is seldom seen on the floor of the senate. This maj; have an influence in his case. 1^ (was thought for a time that Governor Sproul would be a candidate for one of the senate seats, but he has denied this. No Democrats have come forward as yet, Democratic opposition in Pennsylvania being only a matter of formt In West Virginia, Senator Howard Sutherland has no opposition in the Republican ranks at the time this is written, and none io expected. On the Democratic side, former Senators Chilton and Watson loom up as tho two big contestants in the primary, although neither Is yet out in the open. On account of the troubles in the coal mires and the unrest among the miners, Senator Sutherland may have a hard battle on his hands. Events be' tween now and election, day will have a strong bearing on the outcome of the election. Senator Swanson Is Opposed. In Virginia, of course the main interest is in the Democratic nomination. ^Senator .Claude Swanson is a candidate to succeed himself, and his chief opponent is expected to be Governor Westmoreland Davis. Senator Swanson, it is expected, will have the support of the old backers of the late Senator Martin. Governor Davis, however, is personally popular and has had a successful administration as governor of the state, and the contest may prove a close one. The Republican side of the situation is not of much importance. The situation in Florida this year has an Interest for the whol6 country, as there is the repeated suggestion that William Jennings Brjan, three times candidate for president on the Democratic ticket, and former secrtary of state in Woodrdw Wilson's cabinet, will seek the seat now occupied by Park Trammell. Many believe that Mr. Bryan changed his residence from Nebraska to Florida, in order to be ready for the fight this years Senator Trammell will have the advantage of living longer in the state and can class Mr. lir^an as a political invader. While cot discounting Mr. Bryan's nationally known, capabilities > w as a campaigner, Senator Tranuncll's friends arc optimistic as to the outcome. The Republican situation in this state is unimportantIn Mississippi, another fight within the ranks of the Democrats is the chief point of interest. Some time ago Senator John Sharp Williams announced that he would not be a candi flute to succeed* himself this autumn, and nothing has happened to change his views. Former Senator James K. Vardaman, who was ousted a few years ago by Senator Byron P. Harrison, has declared himself a candidate, ' but he has two opponents already. One is a woman, Miss Belle Kearney, but as Mississippi does not look with much favor upon woman suffrage, Miss Kearney is not now regarded as a serious contender for the senate seat. The strong candidate against ex-Senator Vardaman is former Representative Hubert Stephens, who will have the strong support of Senator Williams and of Senator Harrison. Other candidates may enter the race, but at this time this is regarded as doubtful. A Republican will be named, no doubt, but merely as a matter of form. Tennessee is Battle Ground, Senator Kenneth McKellar is a candidate to succeed himself in Tennessee, and thus far has two opponents for the Democratic nomination on a "bine Sunday" issue. The other contestant is Judge G. 1*. Fitzhugh, of Memphis. The McKellar partisans are using the argument against Judge Fitzhugh that he stumped the state in 1910 for tiro Republican candidate for governor, Ren Hooper, who was elected. In the Republican primary the same Hooper is expected to be a candidate, with the main opposition likely to come from Assistant Secretary of Commerce Claudius Huston. The outcome of the election in November depends in great measure on the results of the primaries. FOR ONCE Tl fm I^H m mmmmm*M This photograph shows 0110 moonshine stills that vero recent H. Dinehardt. In Texas a number of candidates j arc at present in the lists for the : Democratic nomination. Senator Culberson is a candidate to. succeed himself. At this time it is expected that Representative Lueiarv, Parrlsh will oppose him. Clarence Ouslcy, ofj Forth Worth, is expected to put up a j fight, as is Cullen Thoiru.s, of Dallns, a brother-in-law of Senator Morris Sheppard. Former Governor Colquitt is another contender. Before the primary is held some of these men may withdraw, or others may enter the race. Friends of Senator Culberson say that the more candidates there are in the field the better his chances are of winning the nomination again, which means, of course, the election. The opponents of Senator Culberson may \nnike an effort to agree on one mo** him lint nppnrtHnp' tn Texans here, not much progress has been made in that direction. Senator Culberson is not in the best of health and cannot make much of a campaign, but he has a strong machine in the state. , "Bob" La Follette Un Again. Senator La Follette is up again for the nomination in Wisconsin, and while there has been a great deal of talk about him and against him, as the situation is at present, no strong Republican has been brought forward tc oppose him for the nomination. He has been opposed in the matter of having patronage withhold, largely because he is regarded as a menace to party solidarity. No outstanding figure has appeared in the Democratic camp to contest the election in November. The primary in Wisconsin is a late one, though, the situation may be changed materially before the end of the summer. , TO EMPLOY GUARDS. Banditry So Threatening That Pitts- j burg Bankers Take Notice. That one employe of every bank in Pittsburgh who is an expert in the handling of arms should be detailed to guard the institution against bandits was the suggestion given in a state- j ment to members of the Pennsylvania Cankers' association by the committee on protective information. The suggestion stated that one man who Is actively engaged in business transactions should be provided with fire arms to act in case of an emergency. Another suggestion was that every bank which dors not have an employe to act in such a capacity, should provide for a sharp shooter of recognized ability to act In case of emergency. pCA BRIDESMAID AT .....1' .... ^ ^ ^ -..

Mack Ferguson of Meech Stewart Post the other day. "I have noticed, however, that a number of them who have recently sold cotton have made it a point to pay tneir annua! dues to the post adjutant as soon is they got hold* of the lucre."

That the American people annually Invest about $500,000,000 In gold bricks, wildcat mining and oil prospects, and other get-rich-quick schemes, is testimony before the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. To protect them is the object of a Federal "blue-sky" measure oraerca favorably reported. It will be laid before the house this week by Representative Denison, its author. This bill is patterned after the Webb-Kenyon Prohibition Act barring the shipment of liquors into states that had already passed prohibition laws.t Section 2 provides: "That it shall be unlawful after the passage of this act for any person at any place in any state, territory or district of the United States to deposit, or cause to be deposited in, or to be carried or delivered by the United States ma^ls, or to deposit with, or cause to be deposited with, or to be carried, transported or delivered by any railroad company, express company, or other agency of Interstate commerce any security or securities for sale or delivery to ai?y person in any other state, territory, or district of the United States in which it is at that time unlawful to sell, offer for sale, tender for sale or delivery to such person, Subscriptions to or orders ror sucn security or securities. Exception Is made In the case o? federal or state securities and those of other governments; those Issued by federal banks, railroad or public service utilities that are already regulated, charitable, educational, benevolent, fraternal or reformatory organizations, stock exchanges and certain notes. As a first punishment for violation of the act an offender will be liable to fine of $2,000 and two years' imprisonment or both. . For any subsequent offense the fine would be $5,000 or imprisonment for five years. ? HATCHED IN HIS POCKET Man Picked Up an Egg and Forgot That He Had It. Robert S. Porter, a Paris, Ky., business man, while in Lexington, Ky., the other day, told of an unusual occurrence, the truth of which he vouched for. He says Charles Madison, a Nich olas county farmer, was sitting in the lobby of the Paris Court House near a radiator which was giving heat up some apparatus for the measurements of sound. "We have to build a sound chamber," says Director Stratton, "which Is a h^avy concrete room surrounded by double walls, and wo actually measure the transmission of sounds through walls. It Is an exceedingly difficult thing to do, put It Is coming." mo uai|' iole Days in M 5 T E R 1 and Friday H and 10th H Values 'in Kj >%. mA 1% ^3 ? r\ I SI CUCUIU19C lEg . . . sAo This Big i EVENT 1 fsatl nited in offering if o Everybody jj?

Madison, with an exclamation of surprise, suddenly reached into his pocket of his heavy overcoat and found there a newly hatched chicken. As he pulled the fluffy ball out of his pocket he and those who surrounded him were astonished. The chick was alive and chirping:. Madison, said to those who ran in from every direction as the word passed that he had placed the egg in his pocket more than a week ago and had forgotten it. The warmth of the pocket and the heat of the- radiator had caused tho chicken to hatch. Madison then drew from his pocket the shell of the egg from which the chicken had emerged. The farmer presented the chicken to Deputy Sheriff Gibson of Paris, who will attempt to raise the fowl. i -i if ASHE 11 Fertilize HIGH ( fertii .uilt UP I (Btg. V. 8. Tax. FOR S/ A. Y.
