questions. In addition to verbal queries
he made formal requests for reports on
the purchase Of supplies from the com

cEases- He found that no records had
been kept of these purchases. As soon
as this and other definite information
was in his hands. he reported the mat

storm broke.
Powerful friends Of AIachea and Beav-

"Because Hearst didn't consider

If the people want a man to fight

TROUBLE IN THE AIR
A Union Representative Interviews
Chauncey Wood Politically.

If man wants to find trouble
nowadays all that is necessary to
do is to tackle politics in the pres
ence of a democrat. A Union
scribe dropped in at C. L. Woods
office this week and found that
staunch democratic war horse pre-
pared for anyone who was so far
gone as to think that a democratic
success this fall was not GER
tainty.
1t is also an assured fact, &C
cording to Mr.. Wood, that w. r.
Hearst will be the democratic
nominee. Mr.. Wood is one of the
d :legatcs to the national conven-
ton and a man capable of looking
after The interests of his constitu-
ents as everyone knows. He is an
interesting talker at all times and
can even say things about tn e dem
ocratic cause that are worth read.

judge of that himself by the follow.

"Mr. Wood, is it not true tina,

raw recruits, as the Younger mem

took the reins in hand much to the
dismay of the 'old liners?''
