Senate Elections Former Vice-President Ex- pected to be on Fir- ing Line WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Reports that former Vice-President Curti will be found on the firing line in the coming campaign in the drive for election of Republican Senators appeals to the imagination of politi- cians and political observers here. It would be hard to imagine a more colorful political combination than that of Charlie Curtis of Kansas and Joe Guffey of Penn- sylvania arrayed against each other. Guffey, a first-term Senator but a veteran at politics, has been made Chairman of the Democratic Sena- torial Campaign Committee. It has been known for some time the Republicans have been up against it in the selection of a Chairman to direct their Senatorial campaigns. Traditionally, a Senator not up for reelection ‘is chosen. The present Chairman, Senator Hastings of Delaware, must run in 1936 and of necessity had to retire to look after his,own fortunes. THIRTEEN SEEK RECLECTION Thirteen of the 24 sitting Re- publicans in the Senate are up for reelection next year. For the most part they comprise the Senators on the left side of the dividing political aisle who have borne the brunt of leadership in the party. The list includes, for example, such Senators as McNary of Ore- gon, the Republican Floor Leader; Dickinson of Iowa one of the most THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY JAN 14, COLOR FILM AT CAPITOL STARS MISS HOPKINS Tn the title role of “Becky Sharp,” which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theater tonight, Miriam Hopkins succeeds a long list of famous actresses who have played the part on the stage.
