"'publican Presidential candidates with whom the wish Is rather to the thought will derive ?jcouragement and will assist In pH.^ 40 lmP"sslon that Pxealdent Cooltdge i? "slipping" political strength. Second the champions of farm rener and meaaurea like the Hau bill will win the support of ' mora Democratic Senators who ?ee the beat chance In two years to split the Republican party at the primaries with the hope of winning Democratic seats to the ,n *utumn elections. Third, the White House will lean less in the direction of the radical farm programs than here-! tofore because with the Iowa elec tion over ? the one contest In Which the administration's sup port of a subsidy farm program, might have done some good ? there is little need for anything of the same kind In other Senatoriui primaries. _ Fourth, the adjournment of Congress will bo somewhat de- 1 jayed as the advocates of farm re Wt mMk9 a '*?? spectacular stand IW the hope of flfampeding the ?d-| ?W"lHtr?tion into a change of ' r fWwpolnt. The affect msy be the passage of the Haugen bill with 1 subsequent emasculation thereof in conference betweon the House and Senate. If Indeed, the House | does pass a substitute measure I like the Aswell bill when a Sen- j ate measure comea over to the House for action. The usual denunciations of the primary system will unquestion ably follow the analysis of the Io- ' Wa primary. It Is a curious turn j of fate that Albert D. Cummins Is now defeated by the very set of circumstances which used to help him. In 1906, for example, when Claude R. Porter ran on the Dem ocratic ticket for governor there ' were Republicans who supported] him because they did not relish I the radical Cummins. Now Mr. Porter Is the Democratic nominee I for Senator and the conservative 1 Republicans are expected to help him in order to avoid the election of the radical Brookhart. Mr. Porter Is popular In Iowa. He came within 20.000 vot*s of beat ing Mr. Cummins for governor In ItOS and that was a time when w" Republican by about 160,000. Several weeks a?o when the Steck-Brookhart content wan go ing on In the Senate, the writer 1 mat Claude I,. Herring, Democra tic National committeeman from Iowa, and asked him what he fore- 1 saw. This was his prophecy: "Brookhart will be unseated ? . and Democratic votes in the Sen ate will help to do it. Cummins ^frill then be defeated in the prl ?fearlee by Brookhart ? and many] ^Democrats who believe In Brook hart will help him win. And then we will elect another Democratic j Senator In Iowa, just as we did 1 Dan Steck, for the conservative1 Republicans will Join the Demo crats rather than re-eleet Brook hart to represeut Iowa once i more." Whether Mr. Herring's prophe-l cy will come true depends on how vociferously Smith Brookhart , makes his campaign an anti-Cool- ' Idge affair and alienates Republi can votes which are pro-Coolldge. 1 Also It depends on how the state and national Republican organise- < tlona develop their strategy for there are a few regular Republl-I cans who are going to advocate making peace with Brookhart In the hope Of getting a Republican vote on matters of orxanliatlon. i assuming, of course, that the po- r lttlcal line-up In the next Senate will be as close aa It was three years ago when astute leaders of i the conservative wing of the party even made peace with Senator I^a Pailette wo ss to retain a Repub-j Ucan vote on questions of com mittee assignment. As for Claude Porter he Ih just the type that would make an ap peal to conservative Republicans as -contrasted with Mr. Brookhart ?a* he was an agslstant attorney vMaeral under the Wilson admlnls ??ftstlon and later general counsel vf the Federal Trade Commission. Weanwhlle Mr. Coolldge Is saying nothing hilt he knows that the ef fort of the Republican party toj retain control of tho United States Senate in Novemfcfr must be a HNivom one. for nla own a4mln-i i oa trial more than ever I COLERAIN TAKES BERTH IN LEAGUE Seanon to Open Officially Monday; Mike Smith Re ports for Game c)rg>Hilzatlon of H four team Northeastern Carolina baxnball league. under an arrangement whereby the schedule will start of ficially Monday, wan effected Tuesday night at a meeting at Hertford, which wan attended by representative^ o 1 that town.
