Coach Mosse, together with several

interesting only inasmuch as it gives

DIR. Clarence True Wilson was elect
ed general secretary OF the society to
serve until the fall Of 1916.
Broad plans were laid down for
active propaganda work in the
churches. Sunday schools. Epworth
leagues, colleges. secular and religious
press. among immigrants, etc. The
work Of the society Is mainly held to
educational and propaganda work
upon the theory that law, to be eff
fective mnst be founded upon wide
spread and deep-seated public senti-
ment for the law. But measures were
taken to see that the society is rep
resented at all crucial periods In
Washington and the various state
contests as they may come up.
Something of a sensation was pro-
duced by Mr.. w. n. Anderson, su-
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league of Baltimore. who introduced
a resolution asking that federal au-
thorities who feel compelled to par
ticipate in state elections should
scrupulously repair whatever inciden-
tai damage done to the temperance
cause in the state by their actions.

banker, who was unknown in politics
outside the borders Of his own county
before his election to the senate. sud-
denly became a student OF grave and
important measures after he arrived
in Topeka. 1t was Joseph who attend
ed q little meeting in Kansas City and
helped to fix up the advance organiza-
ton Of the senate and the distribu-
ton Of patronage. It was Joseph who
talked fluently and INCREASINGLY of
the broad virtues and technical iniqui-
ties Of the corporation tax law and
proposed amendments to the state
banking laws until his fellow workers
were bewildered and amazed.
Now Joseph wants to take Victor
MurdOck's place in congress. As an
evidence OF the fact that he won't be
overawed by such important measures
as the tariff bill and currency bill
when he takes seat in Washington.
Senator Joseph has published a
lengthy review OF the Glass-Owen cur
rency bill and told his views Of the
comparative administration bill and
the Aldrich measure.
Faxrelly in the Race.
Hugh p. Farrelly has formally an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States senate on the Democratic tick
ct. The announcement did not come
as q direct surprise either to the DEM
ocrats or the Republicans. Farrelly
had been doped for the place for some
time and when efforts to push into
the congressional race in the Third
district failed, 1t was generally un-
derstood that the .Chanute lawyer
wanted another chance in the sena-
torial game.
Last year Farrelly was defeated for
the nomination by Senator Thompson,
although Farrelly succeeded in land
ing the popular majority.
