The measure is similar to the Mann bill in the

fuence in the Senate. his campaign for re-elec-
ton to the Senate Mr. Kittredge made his Panama
Canal speech to the South Dakota farmers many
times
more bitter than that between the partisans OF
Messrs Crawford and Kittredge. The former de-
feated the latter for the Senate, and took his seat
on March 4 During the campaign friends Of Mr..
Ktredge often said that If he failed OF reelection
South Dakota would lose the prestige Of having
one OF It's sons IN intimate touch with the con-
struction Of the worlds greatest waterway.
When Senator Crawford took his seat he told
the Republican leaders that II his ambition to
become a member of the Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals The attitude OF his opponent IN
the campaign had stirred his interest in the canal
problem. and he desired TO pursue his investtga-
tons When the standing committees Of the SEN
ate were announced Mr.. Crawford was happy, for
he found his name listed on the Interoceanic Canals
Committee.
the sea-level type OF canal. and Of his last
official acts in the Senate was TO make a speech
in which he expressed doubt Of the success of the
lock- type The new Senator from South Dakota
does not agree with his predecessor. He believes
the lock type Of canal preferable, and will devote
hts talents 10 upholding the Presidents plan TO
continue the work along present lines.

thirteen.

Included and on March IS the British government
was further informed that. while two Of this year
