Nevada. Raymond T. Baker, Democrat, v. Senator Tasker L. Oddie, Republican. Mr. Baker, rich, romantic, fashionable, is popular enough among Nevada's 33,000 voters to be given a slight edge over his opponent, who is rich but not romantic...
Colorado. William E. Sweet, Democrat, v. Charles W. Waterman, Republican. Onetime (1923-24) Governor Sweet is a radical with a millionaire background, and hence is viewed with alarm by stolid Coloradoans. Mr. Waterman's chief distinction is that he conquered Senator Rice W. Means (backed by the Klan and well-dressed Senator Phipps) in the primaries. Despite the split in the Republican ranks, Colorado is expected to return another G. O. P. Senator...

Senator Butler...
Missouri. Harry B. Hawes, Democrat, v. Senator George H. Williams, Republican. It is a battle of personalities, with scarcely a wink separating the candidates. Both are Wet; both flay the World Court. Mr. Hawes has the blessing of Senator "Jim" Reed, who, Republicans say, is no blessing to any one. Missouri and Massachusetts are the two most doubtful states in this autumn's elections...
