CAMPAIGN ORATORS
FACE BAD DILEMMA
Joker in Publicity Bill May
Make Serious Trouble for
SpeIIbinders.

Campaign speeches. at the latter end
Of the coming fight, just when the furore
of politics will be at its greatest, are
quite likely to be interfered with by what
now appears to be a joker in the laws
relating to campaign expense publicity,
and which probably 200 members of the
House Of Representatives do not under
stand fully. This estimate, based on the
statement of one of the keenest lawyers
in the House, will cover nearly the en-
tire field of campaign oratory. and may
result in several changes in campaign
plans.
The provision in the bill which many
members of Congress are supposed not
to understand fully requires that the
four itemized campaign expense accounts
required under the latest federal pub
licity law have to be sworn to in the
district in which the representative is a
candidate or in the state in which the
senator is candidate. However, if Con-
gress is in session. the affidavit may
be made in Washington.
If a silver-tongued representative from
a western state is pleading the political
cause of the presidential candidate in the
far east somewhere about ten days be-
fore election next November, he will have
to board a train and take transcOnti-
mental journey for the simple sake of
swearing to a list of expenses. At that
time, Congress not being in session, he
is required by law to make the affidavit
in his own district.
The federal publicity law was passed
only last year. 1t requires that pOlitica
campaign committees in the states shall
file in the clerks Office at the House o.
Representatives not more than fifteer
days and not less than ten days before
election day an itemiZed statement Of
campaign expenses, and on the sixth day
after election a supplemental detailed
statement shall he filed.
1t further requires that every candidate
for nomination at the primaries or fol-
election shall mot less than ten nor more
than fifteen days before the election hlt
| with the clerk of the House of Represent
atives'' an item!Zed statement OF cam
paign expenses; and then. not less thar

pages-and she is happy.
When three months old Miss Virtue
was stricken with spinal meningitis.
Grown to womanhood now, her mental
strength is marvellous, but she cannot
use her hands
Every word of the book was written on
a typewriter blythe use of one foot. Hold
ing a pencil between her toes, she clicked
off the thousands of words, striking the
keyboard with the pencil and paying little
attention to fatigue. The entire manu-
script was rewritten three times before
she was satisfied.
"You mustn't give me too much credit
for the book" she said. 1.-The work was
inspired I'm a Christian scientist. The
story is based on this religions

CAUSES HOT DEBATE
Resolutions Committee Divided
Over Progressive Platform.
TWO FACTIONS. DEVELOPED
Radicals and Conservatives at Odds
Over Some Planks.
ROOSEVELT REvISES DRAFT
His Objections Said to Be Based
Largely on Phraseology and
Length Of the Document.
REvISES DRAFT

CHICAGO. August THE platform
subcommittee. headed by William Allen
White Of Kansas. Clifford Pinchot OF
Pennsylvania, Chester Rowell OF Cali
fornia and Dean Lewis OF the University
Of Pennsylvania Law School. went into
conference with Col. Roosevelt shortly
before 10 o'clock, finally to go over the
new party's declaration of principles.
There had been sharp discussion in the
committee during the night on the negro
question and it was said that by a close
vote a plank on the negro question mad
been inserted. Close secrecy was main
tanned as to the wording of the plank
until Col Roosevelt should have seen 1t.
There was also said to be in the plat
form a plank dealing in some way with
the liquor traffic.
Roosevelt Revises Draft.
Col. Roosevelt spent the morning in
going over the draft of the platform
which was submitted to him by the
resolutions committee The colonel
found a number of planks of which he
did not approve in the form in which
they were submitted. With a stenog
rapher and few of his closest advisers
he retired to private room TO recaSt
the document. A call was sent out for
the full committee to meet at 1890 and
pass upon the platform as it left the
cOlOnePs hands
1t was said that in the main the plat
| form met with Col. ROosevelt's approval
and that his objections were based large
| 1y on it's phraseology in parts and its
| length. He had hoped to have a plat
\ form which would not be more than
4 900 words long, but it was said that
| it would probably be twice that length.
Sharp Differences Developed.
| 1t was learned that some sharp differ
ences Of opinion developed in the COM
mittee during the session last night. and
that at times the debate became heated.
A radical and a conservative faction
grew UP under the lead of few of the
more militant members. and on number
of planks the committee was almost even
ly divided. The liveliest debates were
| over the planks for the control of corpo-
rations and taxation.

FADD|STS GET CENSURE
FROM SENATOR B0RAH
C0nservationists Would Make
West Playground for East,
He Declares.

Senator Borah of Idaho paid his COM
pliments in the Senate today to the
''faddists and theorists of the conserva-
ton cause. who. he said. would shut up
TIE west entirely and make it a play
ground for the east if they had their
way.
He declared that a "cabar' of about
leo men seemed to exercise such power
over both political parties to make it
impossible to secure any effective legis-
lation to open up public lands in west
ern states to actual homesteaders and
settlers
Both the republican and democratic
parties, sn their 1872 platforms. had
pledged themselves to wise legislation for
the west, he said. but it remained to be
seen what would be done.
Senator Is Defiant.
Il don't know what the third party has
put in it's platform on this subject" he
added, but have no doubt that If some
of them had their way they would shut
up the west entirely. No candidate will
have my support who does not convince
me that he has eliminated all hypocrisy
from his attitude upon this great sub
ject.'
Senator Borah's strong attack on radi-
cal conservationists was made during con-
sideration of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill.
He asked the committee what had been
done with Senator Nelson's amendment
that would have required the classified
ton and opening to settlement of lands
suitable and fit for agriculture within
the national forests. In the conference
report taken up today. this had been
changed SO that the Secretary of the In
terror would be required to at once clas-
sify the national forest lands and make
those Chiefly valuable for agriculture
open for settlement under existing home
stead laws.
Censures Theorists.
The men who criticise the land
settler and denounce him as a thief
would not stay over night where he is
compelled to stay five years." said Mr..
Borah- IF these theorists and faddists
would turn their attention to the re-
Mobilization of the thousands of acres
