WASHINGTON, November 7th- During
| the last campaign the President issued an
| order forbidding Federal officeholders from
| taking active part in the political contests.
| Only a few days before the election he sus-
pended District Attorney Benton Demo
craft, of Missouri. and District Attorney
Stone Republican) of Pennsylvania, for
taking the stump on behalf of candidates
for Office of the two parties. Senator Vest,
| of Missouri, is here to secure if possible,
a reinstatement of District Attorney Ben
ton. Vest does not deny that Benton in
| terested himself and made speeches in
| behalf of the Democratic candidates in
| Missouri, but he will appear before At
torney-General Garland soon in Benton's
| behalf, and ask that the Administra-
| ton shall not select Benton as
single example and punish him
| for violation of the Presidents order,
when Democrats of higher official station
have been guilty of doing what Benton is
| charged with. Vest says that Postmaster
General Villas, on his recent trip to Wiscon-
sin, made two speeches in support of the
Democratic ticket in that State, and if Ben
ton was guilty of offensive partisanship in
advocating the election of Democrats in
Missouri, Mr.. Villas was equally guilty of
violating the Presidents order in Wiscon-
sin. He intends to put the President
| squarely upon record in both cases. If the
+, latter upholds Villas he must reinstate Ben
ton. If Benton must go, then Mr.. Vest
contends that Villas should follow him.
! AS soon as Cleveland returns from Boston
the two cases will be brought to his atten-
| ton.
