INTEREST CENTERS ON LIS RACE Vare’'s Nomination Gives | Brennan Candidacy In- | creased Prominence There. Br Coneolidated PITTSBURGH, May 22.—Now that |- Representative William S. Vare, Re- publican” boss of Philadelphia, has | placed himself in direct line for the United States Senate, one hears more ! and more talk in the Middle West about the possibility of the el ¥ Brennan, Def 4 to that branch of Congres ased upon the zood boss deserves te. There is als orge Brennan t « fish than Bill Vare in the senatorial waters. Politic phenomena run in circles. Perhaps_this may be the year of the art in that di- that the Mid- dle , which was inclined to re- gard the Brennan candidacy as more or less of a joke, is begininng to t notice d” seriously discuss his chances of suce Based on Wet Idea.

Ohio is the | home of the Anti-| Senator Willis, who ; al i . and he v ely upon | ather than upon his | constant t of the President, | thus compelling the Ohio Democrats | to run between two thorns. Some of them would like to oppose Senator Wilis with an “out-and-out wet,” or at least with 2 damp—like former Sen- | tor Atlee Pomerene. Others feel it would be better to beat Willis at_his own game and nominate Judge Flor- | ence L. Allen of Cleveland. i Judge Allen Strong Dry. Miss Allen, a member of the Supreme | Court of Ohio, would poll a lange shari of the tremendous dry vote. Miss Allen is a_thoroughly capable woman, a distinguished lawyer and has made a deep impression during her term on the bench. Some of the old line leaders of the | Buckeye democracy are thoroughly op- posed to the idea of nominating a | woman for so important an office as United States Senator. The thought zoes against their grain. Despite this inborn_ prejudice. thev admit Judge Allen would make a forceful and pos- sibly successful candidate. ‘andidly, interest in politics in Ohio a very low ebb, for the chief of the vear, the wet and dry t. is not considered as having any in the coming campaign in this State. The Republicans of Indiana manag- ed to keep the wet and dry issue sub- merged in their senatorial primary and may not even have to face the issue in the Fall campaign, for Thom- | as Taggart, Democratic chieftain of the State, has on several occasions de- clared himself in favor of continued prohibition. Brennan Forces Issue. In Tllinois, however, it is different. George Brennan has forced the is- | sue to the fore, and it will be virtually the only issue between him and Col. ¥rank L. Smith, the Republican | nominee. Naturally there will be at-; tacks made upon Mr. Brennan's rec- ord as boss of Chicago and appeals |- will be made to the voters not to make the Senate a Sort of bosses’ club by sending Brennan there to hobnob with Vare. i But the real issue will be wet and | ¢, and 1llinois may serve as a real The State naturally is Repub- lican and this fact will make it all the harder for Brennan to win the day for the wets, but if the latter's sentiment is anything like as strong as the wet leaders declare, h> may do s0. Most of the Tllinois modification- ists would have preferred to have their standard carried by a less radical and less capable person than the Chi. cago boss, but since Vare's victory in the Keystone State they are inclined to back him up.
