William Sweet, Dem- ocratic nominee, appears to have the edge over his Republican epponent. Charles W. Watterman, though this i= denied by the Republican head- quarters, where it is expected that Watterman will win. Tepresentative Harry Hawes, Democrat, also look a winner over Renator George . Wil- liams, Republican. In both these States, however, the fight is very keen, and it is not beyond the bounds of probability that the Republicans will yet win. Senator Cur Republican leader of the Senate, I8 regarded as certain to defeat his Demacratic opponent, Charles Stephens, In the Kansasrace, and Col. Smith W. Brookhart, former 1y insurgent Republiean, but now gathered to the bosom of the Repub- lican State organization, is expected to win over Clatide R. Porter, Democrat. Senator publican Towa has Reed Smoot. veteran Re. leader of Utah, is sald te be safe for re-election. His Democrati opponent is Ashby Snow. Smoot has been a constant defender of the Re. publican protective tariff on wool and . {sugar, which are produced in great quantities in Utah. He ranks high in he Mormon Church. So sure do the epublicans feel of re-electing Senator Smoot that they laughed derisively when Senator King, Democrat, sent word that he did not wish to leave Utah until Smoot had been defeated. King's given up traveling for the rest of his natural life,” they said. ‘Wisconsin Appears Republican The Wisconsin situation gives no There is a hetween Republican factions. The “Stalwarts” are doing their best to break the Lafollette-Progressive hold on the State. Gov. John . Blaine, Lafollette Progressive, having defeated Senator Irvin L. Lenroot in the primaries by about 00 votes, is opposed by Thomas M. Kearney, Democrat, and by two Independent candidates, both claiming to be Re- publicans, Charles D. Rosa and J. M. Tittemore. Rosa is an old Lafollete Progres- sive, but like Fred Zimmerman, Re. publican nominee for governor, he has broken away from the Lafollette or- ganization. He is expected to receive much of the Zimmerman Progressive support in the general election. Titte- more is a Stalwart and was candidate for the nomination for lieutenant gov- ernor on Stalwart ticket in the prim- arfes. Blaine looks to be a winner, though he is admittedly not popular, even among his ewn faction. ‘of the application Rosa seems to be the strongest op- | ponent, particularly should the stal- warts execute the same kind of ma- neuver thev went through in the gubernatorial primaries. Then, al- i most in a body, they swung their sup- port to Zimmerman against the La candidate, Herman Kern. The stalwart ald, Zimmerman. de feated Kern, and if the stalwarts and Zimmerman back Rosa, he will give | Blaine a mighty close race. Zimmerman should win in the guber- natorial contest against Charles B. Perry, the stalwart who is running as an independent, and the Demo- cratic nominee. Charges that Zim- merman is or wae a member of the Ku Klux Klan have been widely efr- culated in an effort to beat him, but Zimmerman has vigorously denfed | that he has been a Klansmen When Zimmerman was neminated for governor over Kern, the lLa Fol lette organization sustained a real bhlow in Wisconsin. Should Blaine be defeated by a combination of Zimme man followers and stalwarts, a & ond blow will have heen landed by those who are trying to break the old La Follette group on State politics. In all these Western States except California and Washington, national issues are cutting a comparatively small figure. The senatorial contests sseried that a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling had removed the com- mittee infunction plea from the cate- gory of taxpaver suits and that the English commen law consequently could not ba constriued as applicable to the equity cas Operation’ of the Sesquicentennial on Sunday had been held Illegal by the Dauphin County Court at Harris- hurg.

It sald “In this day when, from the Presi dent of the United States and others high in official position. from pulpit and forum, we are constantly re minded that one of the great dangers of the times is the lack of law obsery ance, we think it is a matter of great moment—assuming that our conclu sion is right that the opening of the Sesquicentennial on Sunday is a vio latlon of the law—that such a grea: enterprise should not be permitted to do what the ordinary individual would be punished for doing.
