Nationally, the general election Tuesday is the first of the Harding administration, thus it is regarded by many as a test, bearing upon the next presidential campaign. The republis | can “ins” go before the country large- ly on, the record of President Hard- ing and the present congress, an issue accepted by their democratic and other opponents. Excepting in Maine, where the elec- tions were held last September, the new Sixty-cighth Congress of 435 members will be chosen Tuesday from all states. ‘Thirty-seven 34 states also will be elected. The states: clecting governors are Ala- bama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Ida- ho, lowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne- vada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, New'Mexico, North Dako- ta, Ohio, Oklahoma, Or&gon, Penn- sylvania, Rhode Island, South Caro- lina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The battle of ballots throughout the country largely is between the two dominant parties, republican and democratic. The election is marked by virtual passing of the progressive, or Bull Moose, party. Socialist, Pro- hibitionist, Farmer-Labor, Single Tax and other organizations, however, continue on the ballots herd and there, with some independent &nd other miscellancous designations. Al- so marking .the Jocal campaigns, and often affecting the congressional con- tests, are the lguor, Ku Klux Klan and other auestions, Congressional candidates mostly are for the Sixty-eighth Congress whieh will not assemble until December, 1923, unless a special sesslon next summer should be called. Of the 37 Scnatorial seats at lssue, 32 are for regular terms of six years beginning in the next Congress and five to fill vacancies by death and resignation, In addition to the 435 members of the next House to be chosen, there are thrre 19 Nl vacancies in the Anmmind wintan sassian bwa funm Na. Senators in| braska and one from Illinois. Capture of control of the next House is the avowed objective of the democratic organization or, failing this, material reduction of the pres. ent republican majority of 165. The House now has 296 republicans, 130 democrats and one sociallst, with cight seats vacant. A turnover of more than 80 seats is required for Icss of the next House by the erubll-‘ cuns, The Seoate now has 50 republicans, one republican-progressive and 36 democrats, 17 republicans and 16 democratic seats in the next Con- gress at issue Tuesday. Democratic leaders have said that only a miracle wpuld change politically the coms« plexion of the next Senate at this election. Republican leaders expect to in- crease their Senate majority by a few members, and they also say they ex- pect defeat of a number of sitting House members, swept in two years ago in the Harding victory. Demo- cratic managers on the other hand are predicting some Senate as weil as House accessions. Principal spots where republicans hope to oust dem- ocratic Benators and elect republicans are: Ohio, President Harding's state, where Senator Pomerene, democrat, is opposed by Representative Feoss, republican, former congressional gommittee chairman; Missouri, where Senator Reed, democrat, is epposed o ask for Horlicke.

Copeland, New York health commissioner; New Jersey, where Senator KFrelinghuysen, republican, 1§ opposed by Governor Edwards, democrat; North Dakota, where former Gov. Lynn J.

Dill, former Representative, and Michigan, where Senator Townsend, republican, is op- posed by former Governor Woerris. There are 26 Senators whe are can- didates for continued service. Three, Benators McCumber, republican, N, D.; New, rapublican, Indiana, and Culberson, democrat, Texas, were de- feated for renomination in recent primaries, while three more whose terms expire March 3 next, Senators Page, republican, Vermont, Myers, democrat, Montana, and Williams, democrat, Mississippl, are retiring and did not stand for renomination. There are two women candidates for the Senate from Minnesota and Wisconsin, and a scora for the House, with many others for municipal and other local offices. The present and first woman Senator, Mrs. W.

Ior the 435 House seats there are 1,016 candidates, including 370 pres- ent membors—249 republicans, 120 democrats and the one soclalist. Fifty- seven sitting members, 46° republi- cans and i1 democrats, did not seek re-election. Prominent are “Uncle Joe” Cannon and Repre- sentative Wordney of Michigan, chair- man of the ways and means commit- tee. Fifty-seven House candidates are sure of winning Tuesday, being with- out opposition and some holding nominations of both republican and democratic parties. Of these 43 are democrats and 14 republicans. Breaks in several solid state dele- gations ' to Congress are predicted. While the solid democratic contin- gents from southern states are ex- pected to show no change, demo- among those) cratic leaders are predicting bred in the Yolid republican ranks now coming from Ohio, Nebraska, Connec- ticut, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Min- nesota and possibly Oregon, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
