BILLINGS, Mont., Nov. 2 -- President Bush warned Thursday that a Democratic Senate would block many of his judicial nominees and never allow justices such as John G. Roberts Jr. and Samuel A. Alito Jr. onto the Supreme Court, a message intended to win back his restive conservative base.

Bush flew here to help Sen. Conrad Burns stage a comeback after trailing Democratic challenger Jon Tester for months. Republicans in Washington had given up on Burns, but as his poll numbers began ticking back up, the White House saw an opportunity to reverse the odds, a move that if successful would make it difficult for Democrats to recapture the Senate.

The visit to Montana opened a six-day, 10-state final campaign swing for the president as he left Washington for the last time until Tuesday's election. From here, he headed to Elko, Nev., and planned to campaign Friday in Missouri for Sen. James M. Talent, who is locked in the nation's tightest Senate race. Bush also plans to hit friendly areas in Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Florida, Arkansas and Texas, where he will vote before returning to the White House to watch returns Tuesday.
