George court actual to shdrp The state's H. Mos is against the rlan ut the junior Henry es is for it. There is still an- that favors entering the league of nations. It is hesded by the Spalding brothers of Rochester. Both are rich manufac- turers. Huntley N. Spalding is president of the state poard of education. His brother, Rolland H. Spalding, is an ex-governor of the state and was Senator Keyes' immediate predecessor It is pretty generally one of the Spalding prothers will shy his hat into the senatorial ring before long. and if he does 1t will be as a league of na- tions republican against Senator Keyes, who will soon be waging a campaign for renomination for a sec- nate. Looking Ahead to 1024. The open secret in New Hampshire is that Senator Moses wants a per- sonal delegation from the state to the next republican national convention He and his friends are saying that New Hampshire should go to the next nominating convention wiith an_in- structed delegation.e To show which way the wind is blowing It is only necessary to recite one salient fact. At the behest of Senator Moses Senator Borah went to Manchester. the largest city in the state, not long ago aml made a speech in which he repeated his vigorous views on the world court and declared that the republican party must solve several important domestic questions, such as railroads. coal, oil and others, or go down to defeat in the coming campaign. Now It Is annoanced that Senator La Follette is coming to New Hampshire to make one or more ad- on ddomestic issues. New chire politicians see-the hand of senjor senator in the coming of Borah and La Follette and the in- dications are that this state will be one of the most important battle- grounds in the coming republican presidential renomination campaign. While there has not been an, open breach between the New Hampshire senators, it is well known that of late there is no love lost between them. This is because Keyes elects to follow President Harding rather than take orders from his colleague. Moses never has enthused over his colleague, who is more of a business man than a politician. Anyhow. Senator Moses never did relish the hea of New Hampshire republicans taking up rebellious democrats and showering senatorial honors upon them. Prefers Straight Republica; He must preferd a dyed-in-the-wool republican to one whose republican- ism dates back only to the Brvan as_in the case with Senator Senator Keyes was a demo- D to the time that the boy orator. of the Platte sounded his six- teen-to-one slogan. In addition Sen- ator Keyes' father was a. Vermont democrat, and his enemies say that the senator is the only living descendant of a Vermont democrat who ever went astray. It is the New Hampshire situation, as much as anything, that brought Chairman John T. Adams of the re- publican nation committee to Bos- ton this week to confer with the New England ‘members of the com- mittee. The New England commit- teeman spoke out in meeting for the benefit of their chairman. He was told that the republicans would en- counter serious difficulties in Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, where, at this writing, it is admitted the democrats have & good chance of winning in 1924. Democrats now occupy the . guber- natorial chairs in Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Mr. Adams was also informed that New England would expect and de- mand more help from the republican national committee in conducting the next presidential campalgn. Little was done last year by the national organization to save Senator Lodge from defeat in the senatorial cam- paign, and If republican hopes next year are to have at least an even break, the national committee will have 'to stop, look, listen and act when New England yells for help.
