SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES.
The terniB of one-third of the
members of the United States Sen
ate will expire a little over a year ,
hence. And thiirty two members
y, ill ia.ee the problem of getting
back again—for with possibly one
exception all of the solons would
like to keep on with their legisla- j
ling jobs—under the new < direct
elections law. All of which makes
the political situation of consider
able interest to the Senatorial as
pirants. Most of them are anxious
to get ou» home and mend their
political fences. It will be a nov
el stunt "or most of them, this
campaigning among the people in
stead of pulling wires among
members of the state legislatures.
Elihu Root, whose term expires
March 4, 1915, positively doesn't
want rc-election. Root has announc
odd his retirement from public
life at that time. Senator Bradley,
of Kentucky, is not expected to
fisht for his return. It is practic
ally certain that his successor will
be a Democrat.'
Another republican who is very
apt toi'e succeeded bv a democrat
is Burtou, of Ohio. A republican
who will have the fl;sht of his life
to "come back" is Bristow of Kan
sas. His nomination will be oppos
ed by former Senator Curtis, a reg
ular republiican, whilo Murdock
will oppose him in the regular
general election.' A democratic sen
ator who frankly looks forward to
a hard struggle is Chamberlain, of
Oregon, who will be opposed by
former Senator Jonathan Bourne,
a repullican.
A member of the senate since
the days of President Harrison, in
1981, Uallinger, of New Hamp
shire will have to make his first
fight before the peoole next fall.
New Hampshire's other senator,
Hollis, Is a democrat. One of the
most interesting battles of the
fall will be that of Gore, the blind
senator from Oklahoma. Complete
ly exonerated of charges of the
most serious character. Gore is
expected to be reelected i A spec
tacular "Armageddon" contest will
be that in Pennsylvania, where
Clifford Pinchot will battle for the
progressives against Boise Penrose,
standpatter, while the democratic
colors will be carried by A. Mitch
ell Palmer, who will probably have
the cordial support of President
Wilson. Many of the regular re
publicans, especially n few repre
sentatives, will join the ranks of
the progressivso to beat Penrose,
who, they declare, dominates the
part entirely too much to suit them.
Another fight in which intense
interest will center is tuat of Cole
L. Blease, who will make the run
against Eilison D. Smith, of South
Carolina, and who, i*. is declared,
has an excellent chance of beating
Smith. Blease has a nation wide
reputation because of his "to hell
with the Constitution" • views. He
was recently re-elected governor
despite the opposition of senator
Tillman. Another veteran of the
senate who Is rounding out his
Inst term is Perkins, of California,
whose long illness has almost pros
Irated him. A senator who cannot
make a struggle is Thornton, of
Louisiana, whose successor, Robert
F. Broussard, now a representative,
has already been elected. Des
pite the fact that he has always
been considered a leader of the
progressive republicans, Cummins,
of Iowa, will probably be opposed
by a progressive candidate, even
if he has uo opposition in his own
party.
While he will have no opposition
in the general elections, Clarke, of
Arkansas, President pro tempore
of the senate, will have a hard
fight with Judge W. P. Kirby, of
the State Supreme Court. Clarke
is now mending fencos back home,
not having been *n the senate since
the Christmas recess. Coe I.
Crawford has also been mending
fences, back in South Dakota since
Christmas. In his own party Chas.
H. Burke will probably oppose
him, while Edward S. Johnson will
probably lead the Democrats in
the general election.
George Ade, the humorist, is
being brought forward to succeed
Senator Shively, of Indiana. Al
bert J. Ueveridgo will contest with
Ade, should Ade run, for the pro
gressive nomination. Candidates
for the republican nomination are
Ex-goveruor \V. T. Durbin, former
Mayor of Indianapolis, Charles A.
Bookwalter, and W. L. Taylor. Shiv
ely is unlikely to be opposed in
the Democratic party as Taggart
has said. he will not run.
A whole flock of candidates are
aspiring against Senator Jones, of
Washington, which state last time
sent the only progressive in the
senate, I'oindexter, to that body.
Roger C. Sullivan, of Chicago,
would, it is asserted, like to suc
and may make the race. Consid
ceed. Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
erlng the size of the state, the
number of avowed candidates is
small. There is another state
where a republican seat seems to
be in 'danger. John Walter Smith,
of Maryland', seems practically cer
tain of re-election.
Democratic voters in Alabama
will have a chance to choose be
tween Representatives Hobson and
Underwood. This is to fill the un
expired term of the late Senator
Johnson, for which the senate re
cently refused to seat F. P. Glass.
Stephenson, of Wisconin, is
likely to be opposed '»y some one
more ngreeable to La Follette, as
the latter it is said, would like to
have a more progressive colleague.

MEXICANS ARE HAPPY
IN REFUGEE GAMP
Plenty to Est, Little Work sod
Many Amusements.
Fort Bliss, Tex.—There are many
situations more undesirable than that
of a Mexican refugee enjoying Amer
ican bounty at Fort Bliss. As a place
where there Is abundance to eat and a
minimum of work, the camp has gain
ed such repute locally that the Ameri
can soldiers guarding the camp must
be constantly on the lookout to prevent
■hungry Mexicans from crawling under
or climbing over the wire fence sur
rouudiug the camp to join their more
fortunate fellows within. It is only
the Mexican officers who seem to feel
humiliated by it and desire to escape,
as half a dozen have.
Except in the. matter of sanitation,
personal cleanliness, etc., the Mexican
officers and their men are permitted to
do much as they please. And they
have made themselves perfectly at
home. A few hours after their arri
val the women of the camp had pre
pared as cozy a home for the winter,
from the Mexican point of view, as a
soldier could desire. They hud little
to do beyoud unloading their packs
containing household effects, blankets
and certain treasures they had man
aged to save. The government has fur
nished conical wall tents for houses,
which to most of the soldiers is a lux
ury.
The women are the hardest workers
Id the cauip. but they dou't have to
forage for food and fuel, as many of
them have been doing for many months
in northern Mexico. With a cheery
Are to take the bite out of the north
wind, aud nothing to do most of the
time but bask In the sun, the men.
women aud children in the camp are
well content. Every one in the camp
must take a bath at least twice a week.
There are showers available so that
those who care to may use them every
day, but ouly a few take advantage
of them. They have their cock fights,
and there is no Jack of music by the
band of the reiiinant army, most of
whose members managed to save their
musical instruments from the rebels
j and from confiscation by the American
