CHICAGO, Octobe Nine votes in the United States Senate, all in tie hands of Republicans, are at stake in Beven Middiewesiern Siates in Tues day's elections. Campaigns centered upon primary expenditures, prohibi tion. farm relief, and the Ku Klux Kian. Several incumbents have based their appeals to the clectrorate largely upon ** past support of President Coolidge. Hiinois, Wisconsin and Misxouri will have direct referendums on prohi + bition.

Campaign funds were the focal point of the Illinois oratory. Frank L. Smith, Republican nominee, closed with a challenge to his opponents to reveal a_ single dishonest act in his . career.

Indiana writhes in something akin to a political upheaval, following charges of political irregularities in the- operations of the Ku Klux Klor Democratic opponents of Senat. James E. Watson and Arthur Robin son, both of whom have dented allf anca with the Klan, have urged a *“house cleaning” in Indiana politics. Senator Frank B.

Six of these States app: going Democratic. They are: Ari- zona, where Senator Cameron, Re- publican, is opposed by Representa tive Havden, Democrat; Colo- vado, Charles W. Waterman, Repub- lican, opposed by William E. Sweet, Democrat; Maryland, Senato Weller, Republican, opposed b resentative Millard E aerat; Missou Republican, opposed by tive Hawes; Democrat Senator Harreld, Rer posed by Elmer Thom: and Oregon, Frederick St publican, opposed by Bert Democrat.

The remaining three States, in which the contests are so close that the candidates seem at this time to have equal chances, are Kentucky. where Senator Ernst, Republican, 1 opposed by Representative A. W. ‘kiey, Democrat; New York, where Senator James W. Wadsworth, jr opposed by Robert F. Wagner, Demo. crat, and Massachusetts, where Wil lam M. Butler is opposed by David 1. Walsh, Democrat. Democratic gains in the Senate will probably range from six to nine seats. A decided Re publican or Democratic swing in the elections would upset these calcula tions necessarily, and would efther in crease or reduce the Democratic gains bevond the limits here given he present make-up of the Senate is 55 Republicans, 40 Democrats and 1 Farmer-Labor. Senator Shipstead of Minnesota is the sole rapresenta- (ive of the Farmer-Lahor party now in the Senate. He will be a member of the next Congress, and should he elect to vote with the Democrats on Senate organization, as advised by his party which has now disorganized, he could throw the organization to the Democrats if they elected only eight Democrats to seats now held by the Republicans. Prefer Defeat to Bloc Rule. There are Republican leaders who express the opinion that it would be politically more advantageous to the party if the Democrats won actual control of the Senate than to have the Republicans nominally in control but subject at any time to hamstring ing by the Progressive bloc.

In Missouri the Republicans have {heen working like beavers the last few davs, particularly in St. Louis, to | holl their forces in line for Senator Williams. Reports are that his stock is on the rise. But F Demo { still appears to have the edge. More enca 2ing Republ reports have come also from Ok ere Sen- ator Harreld is f ut with Elmer Smith, Democrat. And in Ore- gon the Republicans believe they have so curtalled the Stanfleld strength that the regular Republican nominee, Steiwar, will win over Haney. Klan Effect Uncertain. It is fmpossible to gauge with any degree of certainty just what the ef- fect has been on the voters of the charges that Senator Watson and Senator Robinson have been members of the Ku Klux Klan and have ben- efited by the political suport of that order. Unless there should be fur- ther last-minute developments, it would appear that the charges will not cause the defeat of these Repub- licans. ‘Lne Republicans stand a better chance of retaining control of the House in the Seventieth Congress than control of the Senate. The politi- ca! complexion of the House today is 7 Republicans, including 12 imsur- gents from Wisconsin and one or two other States in the Northwest; 183 Democrats, 2 Socialists, and 3 Farmer- Labor members. | present House is 235, and the total opposition, including the Republican insurgents, Democrats, etc.. is 200.

A majority of the Housé is 218, Sufficient Margin in House. The Republican margin of control in the House will not be wide, ap- parently, but it will be sufficient and over and above the combined strength of Democrat Insurgents, Socialists and Farmer 1horites. Democratic gains in the House are expecied in Pennsylvania, which now has a solld Republican delegation. The Democrats may regain 6 Penn- sylvania seats. They already have one, a Demos t winning the Repub. lican as well as the Democrat nomina tion in the primaries.

In some of the States the Democrats have sought aise the tariff is jovfully accepted by the Re- ans, who tell the voters that sperity under Republican rule ex- sts largely because of the protective tariff. Tariff Popular With G. 0. P. Indeed. the Republicans have them- selves raised the prosperity issue whenever they could, and in some of the States they have clung to pros- perity and the tariff in efforts to side- track the local issues which threaten to engulf their candidates. The wet and dry issue, the issue of huge campaign and political corrup- tion, and the Ku Klux Klan issue have held the spotlight during the campalgn. The wet and dry issue is common- to more State campaigns than any of the rest. Wet and dry referendums are being held Tuesda: in nine States—California, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, New York, Missouri. Montana, Nevada and Wisconsin. In those States where the referendum proposes the repeal of State enforce- ment laws or dry provisions of State constitutions the drys are vigorousi combating them. In other States where the referenda merely undertake | to advise Congress to modify the Vol- | stead act, the drys are holding off on \the ground that these referenda are unconstitutional and ineffectual. Senatorial and gubernatorial elec- tions are turning in several of the States on the wet and dry issue, par- ticularly in Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Mary- land and Ohlo.
