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...
Massachusetts. David Ignatius Walsh, Democrat, v. Senator William M. Butler. Here is a state with more than a million voters, where the difference between the two candidates will probably be less than 20,000 ballots.

The late entrance of Senator Stanfield, the bad boy of Oregon Republicanism, has injected doubt into the campaign and given Democratic Mr. Haney unexpected hope. Oregon is usually counted safe for regular Republicans...
