Senatorial Contests Stir Washington Echoes on Tariffs
In Washington on January 5 a lively House debate centers on New York Indiana and Illinois senatorial contests. Miller appears likely in New York, Morton is a dark horse, and He is seen as out of the race. Indiana politics remain unsettled with Republicans expected to block an election if they fail to capture the Legislature. Illinois sees Logan's death heightening interest with Farwell favored by many as a Chicago business representative. Payson Henderson Cannon and others seek the seat, while Payson earns support for railroad land issues and Henderson wins backing from Grand Army men. Governor Long remains quiet as poll watchers speculate Sewell's reelection aided by New Jersey lawmakers.
