TEAR THE MASK OFF,

George W. Egan, in his tour Of the
state, pleads poverty, appeals to the
more mercifully inclined for financial
assistance. And he is getting it. He
tells the people that he is financially
ruined; but has a good bank account.
How can person with no money carry
on tho expensive campaign which Egan
is doingi The facts are he is making
money out Of his candidacy. He does
not expect to win. He swears veng,
eance against the agency that caused
his disbarment, and yet he is helping
the .stalwart cause. His speeches are
entirely free from criticism Of the stall.

against Cannon and Cannonism while
on the stump not word is said ag-
ainst Martin and Burke who have stood
steadfastly with Cannon and the In.
terests. Mr.. Egan is an actor Will
he tell the people whether he favors
fhorson and Schrader for congress or
Martin and Burke7 He makes a grand
stand play for PRINCIPLE. There is
principle involved in the election of
congressman and yet Egan seems to
favor the nomination of congressman
VINO are against what ne processes to
stand for on National Issues, and they
are outspoken in their opposition to
Mr.. Egans state issues.
Mr.. Egan takes good care in his
speech to cover up his record, which is
assaulted from several sources. It is
high time that the mask was off. Ev-
cry man who dares refuse to openly
support him in his candidacy is =

unlike the Record of Congress, dis
close how well he has striven since to

charges were made by seven American
firms, Gouldthrite's stealings amounted
to $4,000. In the cases Of number
Of other American firms, the prices were
found to be fairly reasonable. but the
purchases were abnormal and in excess
of the reasonable requirements of the

day and Thursday. The whole discus
sion was one of the most frank and
friendly nature. While no conclusion
was reached, the ground was cleared for
further conference which will be neld
in Washington probably early in jan
uary. The members of the conference,
Messrs. Hoyt, Pepper and Foster, rep
rescnting the United States, and Messrs.
Fielding and Paterson representing Can

on the resumption of the conference at
Washington an arrangement can be
reached that will prove acceptable to
people on both sides of the boundary
line"
Mr.. Pepper, speaking for the Amer
lean members of the conference, said:
"We leave Ottawa feeling hopeful for
successful issue of the negotiations
when they are resumed at Washington
We have appreciated very much tine
cordial manner in which we have been
received in Canada and the frank friend
ly spirit in which the Canadian nego-
tiators have met us. However, we can
not make a statement as to any con-
illusions which have been reached, be-
cause there have been none
Mr. Pepper explained that there was
a general discussion of the situation and
the ground was thoroughly cleared of
preliminaries so that the January meet
ing would find mucn of the pioneer work
done.
Adequate reason for the suspension OF
the negotiations until January may be
found in the domestic situation Of the
