Democrats in Kentucky are awaiting
the legal action of the legal authorities
and will bow to that decision. SO will
all others. If Bradley and Deboe in
troduce Federal troops, there will no
longer be Democratic divisions. The
presence of Federal troops will heal up
the divisions because the interference or
the Federal authority in matters of local
concern is graver wrong than any

SENATOR'S VERY BITTER
Hearing at Concord on Alleged Viola
ton Of Civil Service Law Proves
Sensational = Chandler Threatens
to Ask for Removal of Chairman
Mark S. Brewer.

Concord, Conn, July 13.-The final
session of the hearing before the
United States civil service commission
on the violation of the law in the as
sessment of United States federal en-
ployes by Senator Jacob FL. Gallinger
proved most sensational. Not only did
Gallinger accuse his colleague, Senator
Chandler, of speaking an I'M
truth, but he offered to back
UP his statement outside the
committee room. Previous to this in
cident Senator Chandler became in
yolved in a warm dispute with Chair
man Mark S. Brewer of the committee
and not only accused him of breaches
of duty but threatened to ask for his
removal. The author of the assess
ment circular, William S. Thayer, did
not testify before the committee and
the impression prevails that no further
evidence will be taken. The commit
tee has already received a communica-
ton from Thayer and in which he said
he prepared the circular on his own re-
sponsibiiity, but Senator Gallinger
knew of it's being sent to the federal
office holders. The hearings both
Tuesday and Wednesday were marked
by bitterness on the part of the SEN
ators toward each other.

other as they may see fit but their Off
