'BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER A ~ TUESDA Body Today — <. By-Ed. L. Keen- . ted Press Correspondent) ew York, Nov. 2.—Appreciating Ah#. very great advantage of having ‘the legislative and executive ches of the-government of the . sain@ political faith, managers of the twa big parties have devoted much time: and energy to the Congression- alZcampaign. . Y That Jnasmuch as the Republicans con- : trél-the Senate now by only one vote (exclusive of that of Senator New- befry ‘of Michigan who I8 awaiting appeal:for-a new trial on the charge of:violation of the election laws), with the chances about even between Républicans and Democrats for con- trat after March 4 next, the manag- ers'hive largely ¢oncentrated on the Sehatorial fights in the various states, hese:contests generally have been waged with more vigor, and in some ingtances with more bitterness, than evén the Presidential campaign. Al- though the .League of Nations has been the “paramount issue” in the fight for the national tickets, it has beén overshadowed in the Senatorial _ cattipaign, in some of the states at lo‘tl%‘, by loca) issues. /hirty-four new Senators are to be chgsen today, from thirty-three sg&és, Alabama, chosing two. ~Ac- cording to the forecasts of political observers generally, it seems reason- ab)y certain that the Republicans will return senators from Vermont, New Ydrk, Pennsylvania, Ohlo, Tllinois, Kansas; North Dakota and Washing- top; while it appears equally certain that the Democrats will return their A -and one each . North Carolina, outh . Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Lotilsiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. #he expected changes, if any, will coftié in the following states which tlié Republicans are hoping to retain ifti thein list: New Hampshire, Con- ne¢ticut, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Utah and Wisconsin; and in the fol- lowiig 'which ti Democrats are tcans, they add in the order of prob- crats are ‘counting.on a split vote sufficient to let . Panl Reinch, their candidate, glip across. They say. that ngflung less than a majority of 150,- 000 for Harding in Wisconsin, which they regard entirely unlikely, will return Lenroot to the Senate. 4 Senitor Marc Smith, in Arizona, is said to have had considerable diffi- culty holding the labor support for the Democrats, owing:to the popular- ity \ of “his' "Republican opponent, | Ralph- Cameron, with. that -element. But - the ..chances seem to. favor Smith’s return. .. UPON RIVAL CLAIMS| (Contipued from Page 1) ers generally of a sweeping Harding victory that Hays had some difficul- ty in keeping the party workers up to the top notch of endeavor. ~After the ‘Maine election, which resulted in such an unexpected ‘large Republican &ajorny, Hays found it necessary to nd out thousands of letters to dis trict managers warning them of the dangers of over-confidence. Other Republican leaders, not quite so enthusiastic by naturé- as the chairman of the national com- mittee, admit that the Democrats may carry as many -as eighteen states, but they concede only Virgin- ia, North.Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip- pi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Okahoma, Texas and Arizona—total, 123 electorial votes. This would give Harding a total of 408. Now, here is how the Democrafic leaders figure on electing ‘Cox, with- out including New York which some forecasters have considered absolute- ly essentjal for this success: Starting with the states, thus grudgingly conceded by the Republi- b GRAIN AND HAY Qats, bu . . . ceeeae .530-55: Red.

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE MAJ (Continued from, Pae One.) placing of individual nominations on the ballots where , their -respective candidates lost out in June. A complete set of state officers, a U. S. Senator, three Congressmen and a' supreme -court judge are to be chosen in addition to county officers. Three 'cflgsutntlonal amendments will_be presented to the voters. .In addition there are five initlated meas- urés and a referred measure. Of these there is.a_contest only on the initipted measure, which the non- partisans ‘tlaim so cripples ghe state bank as to make the carrying out of ability—Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, Uiah, Nebraska, Oregon, Colorado, Montana, Connecticut, Nevada, Indi- ana, Ohio and Cailfornia, a grand total of 270 elettorial votes, or four more than the necessary 266. They have by no‘means given up New York nor Wisconsin, from both of which states they say the reports of local observers have been unex- pectedly favorable, notwithstanding ratfiving -to retain: Maryland, Ken- tuiiky, South Dakota, ldaho, Colora- dl?lvArlzonn, Oregon and California. .‘In no states of the thirty-three h#ve the contests for the Senatorship been conducted - with more energy thas in New Hampshire and Con- necticut, where. Senators Moses and Bfandegee have been subject to a hot mocratic fire on account of their oncilability’ 'with regard to the gueof Nations. It was in these states that the chief irreconcilable, Senator Borah made his first appear- ange on the stump in the present mpaign.. While the Republicans ess to be confident of victory, the mecrats say they are equally sure of* defeating both these Senators, Il{}gly thru the woman vote. Moses and Brandegees were both pronounc- ed ‘anti-suffragists, and although A‘lfln Lonergan, Brandegee's oppon- ent, is also opposed to women's vot- i his ‘support -of the League of lons i8 expepted by the Democrats to attraét the bulk of the feminine contingent in that state. ‘In New York state also, which the Republicans are claiming for the na- tional. ticket. by at least 400,000 al- though admitting that Senator Wads- warth will probably run slightly be- hind Harding, the Democrats are counling ot a heavy woman vote, be- caute of Wadsworth’s opposition to uftrage. They are also expecting their candidate for Senator, Lt. Gov. Hurry Walker to poll well in the rur- al'districts where he is said to be egpecially popular. iThe situation 'in Maryland is gen- etally regarded as. close, with the chances favoring the return of Sena- tor -Smith, Democrat, against Orv- ington E. Weller, Republican. Notwithstanding that the senator- ship in Ohio is classed by the politi- cal -experts as reasonably safe for former Gov. Frank P. Willis, the Democrats insist that their candi- di W. A, Julien, has a good chance, although as a rule they a#i- it 'he might run behind Cox in that state. “In Indiana, the contest between Sehator Watson, Republican, and Thomas Taggart, Democrat, has been sharp- and lively. The: Republicans admit it is a hard fight, and they the claims of the opposition. They feel absolutely assured of the border states of Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia, and almost equaljy certain of Ohio and Indiana, and with even California, which the Re- publicans have been . claiming by 100,000, as a probability. The', Democrats have been bank- ing largely on the new women vote thruout the country. But, how many of the possible 17,000,000 are going to the polls today,.and how they are voting, is one of the most- uncertain factors in' the whole election situa: tion. _ Alsojthere is the possibility of the popular vote for Parley P. Christien- son. head of the Farmer-Labor ticket, their' industrial program impossible: | The initiated law provides for; a ‘board of auditors’ to - examine the state bank semi-annually; amending the law so that loocal public funds do not need to be deposited in the state bank; limiting real estate mortgages loans by the banks of North Dakota to actual farmer resident of the state and amending the newpaper law so that legal'hotices need not be publish- ed in the'official paper. The constitutionali amendments have attracted little attention. They permit woman suffrage, reduce resi- dence requfrements for voters, change the name'of-the reform school to “Training School’ and p‘ermit lndvest; ST tuat. for Eugena V.
