SEATS OF CHIEF SENATE FIGURES BALLOT PLUMS Borah and Capper Are Ones Regarded as Sure to Succeed Selves. BY HARRY W. FRASTJE, tnitcd PrStaff lorreapondent. WASHINGTON, April 18.—Thir-ty-five seats to be filled in the senatorial elections next November include many of those now occupied by the most powerful fit picturesque figures in American public life among them William J. Borah of Idaho, Arthur Clipper of Kansas, Carter Glass of Virginia. James Coupons of Michigan, Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, Pat Harrison of Mississippi, George W. Norris of Nebraska, and Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas. Senator Borah's succession to himself seems to be taken for certain, as his home state basks in a reflected national glory as the result of his powerful position at the Capitol. Senator Capper also Is believed to be in a strongly entrenched position, being now recognized as one of the most effective national spokesmen for the middle western agricultural region; and also exerting vast influence through lus widely circulated farm newspapers. Senator Glass is reported to have some political opposition ahead, but is generally thought likely to succeed himself. As one of the authors of the federal reserve banking act. he is recognized among the most authoritative senate spokesmen on banking matters. Senator Walsh of Montana comes from a state where a bitter partisan struggle is expected, and his political prospects now arc thought to be uncertain. Senator Couzens is unique in the senate from the fact that he has been able to identify himself as a “progressive" notwithstanding the fact that he comes from the state of Michigan which has tremendous industrial interests. The senate galleries, at least, will hope for the return of Senator "Pat" Harrison of Mississippi, a fine orator with singular gift for repartee and good-natured sarcasm which gives the Republican side a lot of worry. Senator Norris of Nebraska will have a fight in the primaries in that state. The national interest in his fortunes arises from the fact that he is a recognized leader of the progressive bloc and therefore exerts a vital influence on the senatorial balance of power. He also is chairman of the senatejudiciary committee. Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Democratic floor leader, member of the United States delegation to the London naval conference, will
