(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Primaries in eight states include four in which contests for the nominations for United States senator is expected to indicate to some extent the trend of public opinion on National political sympathies.

Massachusetts, Michigan, Washington and Vermont today are to choose senatorial candidates.

Senator Poindexter of Washington has five opponents, one a woman, who has received endorsement of some labor organizations.

Senator Townsend of Michigan has two opponents who have attacked him for his defense of his colleague Senator Newberry.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has done little speech making on his campaign while his opponent, Joseph Walker, has stumped the state vigorously. Four Democrats seek the senatorial nomination.

Two Southern states have Democratic primaries. In South Carolina former Governor Cole D. Blease and Thomas G. McLeod are opponents in the principal contest for the gubernatorial nomination. In Georgia, three women break the state's traditions by entering the race for state assembly.

In Louisiana one congressman and several state judicial officers are to be nominated.

Colorado and Arizona nominate state tickets, with a number of congressmen. Senator A. S. Hurst of Arizona is unopposed for the Democratic nomination and no Republican candidate has yet been named to oppose him in November.
