Five primary contests affecting the fates of as many prominent Republi- can United States Senators and in- cid. atally Coolidge administration prestize will be held next Tuesday, September 7. The men and the States in question are: Irvine L. Lenroot, Wisconsin; George H. Moses. New Hampshire; Tasker L. Oddie, Nevada; William M. Butler, s setts; Ralph H. Cameron, Arizona. Senator Butler, Coolidge intimate and chairman of the Republican na- tional committee, is unopposed for re- nomination in Massachusetts. His troubles are scheduled for a later date, when he must meet at the elec- oles on November 2 the Bay te champion vote-getter, David Ignatius Walsh, who again aspires to enter the United States Senate. Sen- ator Cameron, another stanch ad- ministrationist, likewise will be re- nominated without a contest. But his fate, too, will.hang in the balance until election day, when he will be opposed either by Representative Carl Hayden, Arizona’s single mem- ber in the lower House of Congres: or Charles H. Rutherford, a Phoen lawyer, both Democrats, who are fighting for the senatorial nomination on their ticket Lenroot Gains Support. Senator Lenroot has completed a whirlwind campaign in Wisconsin as an outspoken Coolidge backer and Worid Court supporter, and has unexpected inroads into the supposed- Iy invulnerable La Follette-Blaine progressive strength. At present the Milwaukee betting odds are running from 6 to 7 to 6 to 10 against Len- root, but impartial observers inform this’ correspondent that by election day the odds will be nearly even. Whether Lenroot or Gov. Blaine wins the senatorial nomination, the vote is certain to be exceedingly close. Wisconsin's 1926 primary campaign has been the most complicated in the State's history. The La Follette organization, hitherto unbeatable, has been planning Lenroot's overthrow for the past six years. To drive him from public life was one of the late Senator La_Follette’s gnawing am- bitions. “Fighting Bob’s” two bril- liant voung sons, the present Sen- ator “Bob” and “Young Phil,” have campaigned up and down the State for Blaine all Summer and done what they could to keep the Badger com- monwealth_safe for La Folletteism. ic senatorial candidate, has been sub- jected to a withering fire by Lenroot. The governor's refusal to debate the World Court issue with Lenroot has hurt Blaine. Lenroot has made strong eapital out of the governor's dodging tactics on_that issue, with the resmit that the La Follette people have not been able to make as deadly use of Lenroot's World Court sup- port as they at one time hoped to do. Blaine is also being raked fore and aft by Fred R. Zimmerman, the Wis. consin secretary of State, who 1s opposing Attorney General Herman L. Ekern, a4 La Folletteite, for the guber- natorinl nomination. While the La Follette camp is leading a revolt against “Coolidgeism,” the Zimmer- camp_is conducting, a revolt “Blaineism,” charging that Madison ring” of La Follette captained by Blaine and as set up a -political au- "in the State and is exploiting it for selfish purposes. Zimmerman has not campaigned for Lenroot. but he is attacking Blaine mercilessly, and the inference is that he wants h friends to vote against the governor's senatorfal ambitions. The stalwart, or Jtepublicans, put up a_color- for governor. named v, but are not accord- cgressive support. The situation has all the earmarks of an understanding between Lenroot and Zimmerman, and it is being de- nounced by the La Follette-Blaine organization. Last Six Weeks Brought Change. Had the Wisconsin primary been held six weeks ago, Blaine’s nomina- tion would have been fairly certain, but Lenroot’s chances have material- Iv improved. The Senator himself be- ces he's going to win. He will - Milwaukee and the other large cities of the State.

But he is a poor man without any reservoir of capital for the sinews of political war. Such campaign funds as he has had. and they were modest. were contributed by his friends. Moses declined to employ hired workers and claims not to have a single one in his employ. His an- tagonist, Bass, is not only rich in his own right, but is the son-inlaw of Sumner Bird, one of the fest men in Massachusetts. Despite the prominence given the New Hampshire fight Pennsylvania and Illinois slush fund ceandals, Moses™ friends accuse Bass of spending a lot of money, especially on hired workers throughout the State. The Bass campaign, first built ‘up around the argument that Moses misrepresented New Hamp- hive in voting against American entry into the League of Nations and the World Court, has switched to other issues because of current events in Europe. Then the attack on Moses turned on his vote against all of the farm relief bills in the recent session of Congress—32 in number. Bass him- Self is a gentleman farmer, and made great capital of Moses' anti-relief votes. But Secretary Jardine came into the State at the invitation of the State Grange and commended Moses' 32 votes against Western farm meas- ures, the effect of which, Moses in- ts, would have been to hurt New England agriculture. Moses sup- ported the Fess farm bill, which Secretary Jardine declared is the on one that would have helped New Hampshire ruralists. Former Gov. Batchelder of New Hampshire, a former master of the National Grange, is also out for Moses and vigorously supporting him. Moses Has Good Chance. Senator Moses' opponents chiefly rely on the claim that the incumbent was unfriendly to certain “Coolidge policies” and has forfeited his right to re-election on that account.

If New Hampshire women vote like thejr husbands, Moses’ success should be on a 3-to-1 basis. Senator Oddle in Nevada must beat former Representative “Ed” Roberts, Pitcher Walter Johnson's father-in- law, for the Republican nomination. Oddie is safe in the rural counties, but the Reno city vote will decide the issue. Roberts is campaigning on a “liberal” platform and that ele- ment is strong in Reno. Oddie is ex- pected to secure renomination by a slight majority, following a fierce con- test. He has run as a strong Coolidge supporter. Raymond T.

The great Islamic advance of the seventh cen- tury drove the Abyssinians back across the Red Sea to Africa, however, and then so pressed upon them that in the sixteenth century Portgual sent expeditionary forces to the rescue of “the lost Christian empire” in re- sponse to an appeal from a ruler whose name the Portuguese took to be “Prester John.” Intervention did, indeed, save the empire, but when Jesuit _priests from Portugal at- tempted to convert the Abyssinians from Coptic to Roman Catholic Christianity a struggle, followed by rable to the most magnificent canyons of the Rockies. “Mountains of the Moon” is the name explorers have given to the jagged Abyssinian peaks.
