MORAN PROBES FOR
SECRET BARREL
Boston, District Attorney Sus.
poets Existence of Hidden
Campaign Fund.

Journal Special Service
Boston, July 2.-Believing that the
republican state committee has received
large campaign contributions under the
names Of fictitious givers and suspect
ing that it had secret fund the use of
which he did not care to reveal, District
Attorney Moran spent considerable
time yesterday preparing what evil
dence he has to lay before the grand
jury Tuesday. Mr.. Moran's process
servers located Senator Lodge and sum-
moned him before the grand jury to-
morrow when he will be asked what he
knows about this alleged secret fund.
For many years Lodge has been the
real head of the republican machine in
this state and has made the state head
quarters his headquarters in every cam
pign. Others summoned are Thomas
Talbot, chairman, and Joseph N. Peter
son, treasurer of the state committee,
and ex-Attorney General Parker.
Since the conviction of George B.
Proctor, Senator Lodges secretary, of
the larceny of 1925 paid to him for the
republican state committee fund in
i9O4, Moran suggests that Proctor has
been induced to sacrifice himself in
order to stop further investigation of
the revelations that have come ont.
Moran s inquiry in this direction will
pc devoted to showing whether there
have been violations of the "corrupt
practices' law. The work. of the
grand jury is likely to cover weeks.

The convention was held early in
May before Ed H. Hunter took the
fore the program of contests was insti-

Altho the plan has been preached ten

The standpatters advance the claim
that in delegating to the governor the
right to name the delegates, section -
of the primary law was violated. This
section reads:

another to serve in his place as a dele

Des Moines, Iowa, uJly Bachelors
and old maids of Iowa will hold their
first annual state convention in Iowa
at Forest City on July. IS for the pur-
pose OF placing state and congress
sional ticket in the field for the fall
election on a platform opposed to pres
ident Roosevelt s big-family policy.
The call has Just been issued by Gin
ton Merrick, who is termed "King of
the Bachelors. " The call announces
that, besides hotels and private homes
being opened to delegates, tents will be
supplied for those who desired them.
A barbecue will be seld and roast beef
and roast pork, sandwiches and coffee
served free. ,.5A" 49,. -. =
1t will be, in a way, the first for

Mr., Merrick takes exception to the
Roosevelt denunciation of small fami-
eng the purpose of his convention he
SAYS: elf my farm will support only
htty head of stock and I try, to raise

The king of bachelors then contends
that a man is iniuring the human race

make into helpful men and women. He
holds that bachelors and old maids
should be honored for holding aloof

poor, half-starved weaklings.

Cascarets are practically to the Bowel

They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to

They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such way as to make them lean upon

disregarding the warning Of the offici

1t would have been a remarkable In

pardon to the convict. But far from
this, he actually explained to the con-

reject any appeal for mercy; yet he so
worked on the mans feelings that
when, with a farewell handshake, the
King left him, he was totally subdued,
and ready to meet his fate the next

Expires.

When Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
Office of President of the United States
he will be but fifty-one years of age,
and just entering upon his intellectual
prime. Will he be content to go into
retirement from politics? If so, he will
have to forego his present love of doing
things. Much, however, depends on
chance. If he shall be as popular when
he retires as he is at present, or half as
popular, he will remain the head of his
party, and should he desire political
preferment, he will get it.
After his retirement from the Presi-
dency, George Washington was given
command of the army in our actual but
not declared war with France. John

nine terms he was in Congress the last
eighteen years of his life than in all
