May IH. -Thi- R'1-! publican party lias a real problem on it s hands in handling the ram* | of Senator Brookhart of Iowa whoso flection haw boon contented , by Daniel Stock. Democrat. A 1 subcommittee ha* voted to unset Mr. Brookhart. The full commit tee Is expected to do the Maine though the vole will be clone. 1 What the Senate will do la unoth- 1 er question. Politically the hit ideal may grow in importance for If Mr. Brookhart is unseated he will un doubtedly run in tho prlmarlns J hi* year against Senator Cum min*. Republican. Judging by paMt experience. Iowa votes into office a radical at a time when agricultural discontent la at Its helghth. Some Republicans are afraid that the unhealing of Mr. Brookhart means the defeat of Senator Cummins. And Iowa Is juat now the focal point of the whole agricultural trouble of the Coolldge administration The subcommittee which litis decided to recommend the unseat ing of Mr. Brookhart believes the intent of the voters must be con sidered in examining the ballots This Is a broad quqostlon on which there Is room for differen ces of oplnlou. at loast Senators have argued on both aides In oth er election contests. When the vote Is finally taken it would not be surprising to find the Democrats supporting the election of Mr. Stock because it adds one more to their party in the Senate. In the event that Mr. Brookhart is unseated, it might mean the addition of anotlie' vote to the Insurgent group if Mr. Cummins Is beaten and Mr. Brookhart takes his place as a re suit of tjie election In the autumn of this year. This would mean that the new Senator would take his seat some time after Man li 4. 1927. The regular Republican*, on the other hand, have not felt that iu Mr. Brookhart they had a sup porter at any time. He liati fought the regular Republicans nil along the line But their prob lem Is: What effect will the un seating of Mr Rrookhart hare on the political fortunes of Mr. Cum mins, a tried and trusted warrior of the Republican group In 'he' Senate?
