The returns from the Missouri pri mary of August 1, therefore, will be scanned eagerly by all those who are concerned to know just how much of a hold Wood row Wilson still has on the Democratic party. A new epoch in the history of Democracy may date from that event, and it is certain that the result will have an important bearing on Democratic presidential politics of 1924.

HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, June 5. Throughout the country interest in politics may be lagging. Not so in Washington. Here at the nation's Capital the well known cauldron may not be exactly seething as yet, but it is simmering appreciably and be fore another month has passed it will be bubbling merrily. Thirty-four Sen atorships and every seat in the House of Representatives are the national stakes for which the parties will con tend at the polls in November. The Senators and. four hundred-odd Repre sentatives whose successors are to be chosen are here, and each has his The communion service was secretaries, clerks, and political hang conducted in the dining tent. Tho public and non-members were priv ileged at this as all other services making up the conference. Genuinely democratic is the church government and its customs." At the religious service the elders are seated upon either side of a plain board bench or table probably 30 feet in length.- The elders occupy the same position as the ministers in the other church denominations. There are up ward of 100 elders attending the meet ing here. Feed Large Crowd Two meals were served Sunday, at whih bptween 3,500 and 4,000 persons yere fed. The dining tent seats 720 porsons at one time; All the food is prepared upon the grounds, which em braces about 16 acres of pasture land, and is an ideal place for such a meet ing, as an abundance of water is avail able and electricity for lighting pur popes is provided. While Sunday was the big day in point of attendance, Tuesday will be the important day in the affairs of the church, as on Tuesday the busi ness session of the conference will be conducted. Organization for this was r-heduled to take place today. A standing committee of 12 members, all elders, and various sub-committees were to be named today. The com mittees are selected by the 125 or 150 messengers or delegates to the con vince. Each church congregation is represented by two messengers. The sub committees receive the . various matters laid before the conference and in turn, they are passed on to the standing committee, which presents 'hem in open meeting for discussion ..nd disposal. Elder Montgomery, of Missouri, is expected to have a promi- nent part in the business session Tuesday, which will mark' the close cf the. "meeting if disposition of all matters coming' before the meeting is made. The church has no moderator or similar head, such as other denomi nations have. Capability and long service naturally mark some of the elders as leaders, but no one leader or-cupies a higher position in the church than another. 5,000 In Country The entire membership of the church in this country is approximately 5,000. Most of the membership resides in the states of Ohio and Indiana. The messengers or delegates and visiting members are being housed in homes of local county members and otherwise. Barns in the immediate vicinity of the meeting place have been transformed into sleeping places. As many, as 100 and 150 are quartered in thes.e buildings. In preparation for the four or five clays' meeting, which opened Saturday, eight beeves were slaughteher. Prob ably two or three more head will be butchered to meet requirements of the remainder of the meeting, according 10 those in charge of preparation of the food. At this time it is not known where the conference will be held next year. It is never held two years consecutive ly at thesame place. ers-on who are deeply concerned in the result. . Also, the popular verdict In the con gressional elections will be hailed as one of approval or disapproval of the Harding administration. Hence the local ferment, and it is not surprising if Washington just now is payin more attention to politics than is in evidence in any other part of the coun trv. Two notable primary contests dur ing the month of May served to whet the interest of Washingtonians in things political. One was in Indiana, where former Senator Albert J. Bev eridge wrested the Republican nomi nation from Senator Harry S. New. The other was in Pennsylvania, where Gifford Pinchot came home a winner in the gubernatorial stakes, defeating Attorney General Alter, the organiza tion candidate. Both results, it may be said, were contrary to general ex pectation. Both Beveridge and Pinchot, be it remembered, were Progressives when Theodore Roosevelt was the great fig ure in the embattled hosts at Arma geddon, and their victories against the forces of the party organization in their respective states are extreme ly significant. Some of the political leaders deny this, but the fact re mains that they were not expected to win and they did win. Thermometers that register the political tempera ture hereabouts made a decided jump when the news came from Indiana af ter May 2, and another when Penn sylvania was heard from after May 16. The returns from the next pri maries will be awaited with anything but idle curiosity as everybody wants to know if there is to be more of the unexpected. Iowa Comes Next Iowa comes next with primaries on June 5, to select the party candidates for the senatorship now held by Charles A. Rawson. This is the seat held so long by William S. Kenyon, who resigned a few weeks ago to ac cept a Federad judgeship tendered him by President Harding. The full list of Senators, candidates to succeed whom are stil to be chosen, together with the states and the dates of the party primaries or conventions thus far fixed, follows: Charles A. Rawson, Iowa, June 5; Park Trammel Fla., June 6; Frederick Hale, Maine, June 20; Frank B. Kel logg, Minn., June 20; Porter J. Mc- Cumber, N. Dak., June 28; Charles A.; Culberson, Tex., July 22; James A. Reed, Mo., Aug. 1 ; Claude A. Swanson, Va., Aug. 1; Howard Sutherland. W. Va,, Aug. 1; Atlee Pomerene, Ohio, Aug. 8; John B.

I., Date not fixed; Kenneth McKellar, Tenn., Date not fixed; William H. King, Utah, Oate not fixed. Interest centers largely in these sen atorial contests for many reasons. In the first place, they, together with In diana and Pennsylvania, will be course, on the November battle of the ballots when the political complexion of the next Congress will be determ ined. In importance this election ranks with two other notable off-year contests 1910 and 1918. In the form er the Republicans went down to in glorious defeat, and in the latter the Democrats bumped the bumps. As to 1922 hang up a large question mark.

Secondly, the Senate is the greatest parliamentary body in the world today. It deals directly not! only with the most vital problems of the American people, but with those of great international moment, and its personnel is important. Moreover, some big men are involv ed. Lodge, of Massachusetts, is tho Republican leader of the Senate and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations; McCumber, of North Dakota, is the chairman of the great Committee on Finance which has jurisdiction over tariff-making and taxation; LaFollette, of Wisconsin, has long been the stormy petrel of the Senate and of Republican nation al politics; and Johnson, of California, once Progressive nominee for Vice President and more recently candi-: ors, looms large from any political viewpoint. , Interest in Missouri Struggle On the Democratic side, Culberson of Texas, is one of the veterans of the Senate; and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, Pomerene, of Ohio, and Williams, of Mississippi, are recognized minority leaders.
