The decks were being cleared today
for a fght that. for far-reaching ef-

In the house last night. There was
no hesitancy In admitting at the
White House that the entire future
foreign policy of the administration
hangs In the balance Of the present

One of the first arrivals at the
White House today was Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma. He will be the
administration mouthpiece on the
floor of the senate In the tolls fight.
1t was through him that the admins

SEEKS POSITION AS
WAYNE POSTMASTER
Wen IadeEee ANYBODY But
You" Declares Organiza-
tiOn Crowd

John b. Murphy 10 candidate for
postmaster in Wayne. He Ii an origi-
nal Wilson man. He worked hard for
Wilson, before the convention and be.
fore the election.
The Democratic organization heads
declare that they will indorse anybody
In Wayne who wants the Job OF post
master--that is, anybody but Jack
Murphy.
Murphy couldn't be controlled He
In his innocence, that he was entitled
to an opinion Of his own. Therein he
made great mistake. He should have
waited for orders. He should have
kept his ear to the ground and his
wet finger In the wind. listening for
the rumblings Of the organization car
and needing the vapors which told
which way the organization was blow
ing.
But Murphy didn't do that. He look
ed over the field OF aspirants, ana
decided that Wilson was the man who
ought TO get Murphy's support. He
found several other men in Wayne
who saw matters In the same way.
So he organized q Wilson delegation,
and brought 1t to the county conven-
ton.
Oh, but the Harmon organization
men were angry. They made the mis-
take OF telling Jack Murphy that he
ought to be more careful. Jack re.
torted that II Harmon had been nomi-
mated. he would have been q Harmon
man; but he was Wilson man until
Wilson was defeated. and no organi.
xation could dictate to him as to who
his candidate would be.
Murphy was candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the state
Legislature, In the second district. lie
ran az friend of Alfred Lucking, and
was pledged to vote for Mr.. Lucking
for United States senator. He would
have had plain sailing. and stood q
good chance Of being elected--but the
organisation made up its mind to dis
cipline him.
The organization put two candidates
In the field to split the vote against
Murphy. Judge Connolly wouldn't call
them on. Jim" Burns wouldn't call
them of, although he promised to do
80. Jack Murphy was to be disciplined
whether Mr.. Lucking went to the sen.
ate or not.
Murphy was defeated for the nomi
nation by combination of Democratic
organization" men and. Republicans
marshalled by Legislator "Bill" Martx
The Democrat who was nominated
was SO weak and unpopular that the
Bull Moose candidate showed him un
der.
Still Murphy didn't quit. He got the
idea that the people OF Wayne county
ought to know how much independence
man can have and still remain in
politics. So he told his story, pub
licly--and II was not denied by the
organization heads. because they
coulan't deny It. They simply made
|up their minds to remember Murphy
and bided their time.
Now the time has come. Murphy

that he made. Mr.. Hill ex-
planned why the price of meat Is high

creased fully IS per cent the past few
years.
Mr.. Hill answered the question,
