The United States Senate, which in history sent only one of its members to the White House, will have five active candidates for the presidency. Three are seeking the Republican nomination in the primaries in their respective States and two are after the Democratic nomination. On top of this is the candidacy of the presid- ing officer of the Senate, Vice Presi- dent Daw Senator Norris of Nebraska and Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republican leader of the Senate, are of opposite schools of thought on public questions. Senator Willis of Ohio, Republi , is o of the outstanding drys of the Senate and in a sense may be regard- the candidate of forces like the oon League. or Walsh of Montana is al and is looked upon favorably i side the Democratic party by the anti- Smith forces, who want to prove that their objection to the New York gov- ernor is not on religious grounds. Reed Is Only Wet. Senator Reed of Missouri is the enly wet of the e group cf can- | didates. Wi 8 rgument is one of on Coolidge polici Nearly every one of the senatori sandidates has a spacial act'vity, which will bring him into prominenca during the forthcoming session of Congre Reed is at the head of a special investigating committee irquiring into the Smith and Vare senatorial contests in_Illinois and Pennsylvania. Mr. Walsh prosecuted the Teapot Dome cases so vigorously that he i | thinks he has an opportunity for dis- closures of public interest in the pub- lic utility field. He plans to introduce a resolution to have a special committee appointed of which he would be the chairman. Indications are that the resolution_will be fought which will give Mr. Walsh a chance to speak at considerable length in an effort to e passage of the resolution. Senator Norris is at the head of the b | insurgent group of Republican Sen. ators who are interested in forcing ac- tion on farm relief as well as other matters of common interest to the so-called radical group. The Nebraska Senator is active in various contro. versies, but there are indications that he, too, will take a prominent part in the discussion of water power and public utilities, particularly because of his interest in the Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam projects. Borah Backs Norris. Perhaps the most significant action that has yet been taken on the Repub- lican side is the aggressive attack which Senator Borah has made on be- h':llf of Senator Norris in telegraphing Gov. McMullen a demand that he line up behind Senator Norris instead of former Gov. Lowden of Illinois. If there was any doubt heretofore that the Western insurgent group were going to desert both Lowden and Dawes in favor of one of their own favorite Sons, the Borah tele- gram removes it. The indications are now that the insurgent group will operate as a bloc, not only on legisla- tive questions, but in an effort to force the nomination of what they consider a progressive Republican, Mr. Coolidge’s self-elimination state- ment gives the insurgents an oppor- :luanr:‘lesiytl:eyr:fivel;hb?fare have had— ly to rally their own forces i the West without having any parucu’? lar candidate from the East to offset their efforts, The Eastern Republicans are divided. Practical politicians of the old school are apprehensive that Wwith the West split up and with the East wavering on Coolidge, Hughes or Hoover the opportunity for fac- tionalism to develop which will not be healed by the nominating convetnion will be such as to make things uncom- fortable in the campaign. To offset this is the apparent strength of Al Smith, the Democratic aspirant, and while his nomination is calculated to leave the dry South disappointed, the practical effect might not be com- parable to the sectional cleavages ;";txlcmh the Republican fight may bring orth, It will be in the Senate, however, that ‘the first stages of the pre-con- vention battle will be fought. Besides the conspicuous candidates there are others who probably will try .for “favorite son” support. Politics will make the coming session of Congress of extraordinary interest.
