AM APPEALING CANnnArE

In the person OF the Hon. Ben l..
Rosenbloom the Republicans have a
candidate for the State Senate who
appeals strongly to the voters OF this
district. lie is a bright and energetic
young man. in thorough sympathy
with the progressive ideas Of the age.
and well informed as to the special
needs OF the district. As a lawyer.
he stands high in the estimation and
trust of the bar. and is further com
mended to the confidence of the peo-
pie as a graduate OF the West Virginia
University. His public appearances
have made a decided impression as to
his qualifications for the ONCE TO
which he aspires. which has been ac-
eentuated by the earnestnese and viror
he has displayed in the conduct of his
campaign.
He has been making considerable
hay while the sun has been shining.
and the Democrats have been founder
ing around trying to prevail on some
one to oppose him. The InteIligencer
does not believe there is a more de-
servedly popular man in the district
than Mr.. Rosenbloom. He is a gen.
tleman OF the finest impulses. and one
whose heart is always open to the ap-
peals Of the unfortunate. HIS Chart.
able acts cover a wide field. and he
has given TO all OF his performances a
service for which he has never asked
or expected any return. Mr.. Rosen-
bloom unquestionably will be the next
Senator from this district. and his
tenure Of once viii be distinct credit

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Sept. 13.-As
predicted In previous letter the Chill.
ton amendment TO the CLAYTON anti
trust BILL which was adopted without
debate by the Senate last week. Is
likely TO cause considerable trouble
with both of the legislative bodies of
Congress. and promises to prove a
troublesome question which may
throw another prohibition fight in
both houses for settlement. II is said
by politicians here that authorship OF
the amendment has been traced TO the
Vice President. who requested Sena-
tor Chiffon to present IL to the Senate.
The authorship of the questioned
amendment Is regarded IN some quart
ers as joke that went wrong. Mr.
Marshall has a reputation for think
Ing up droll amendments. which he
asks members to present. IL IL thought
possible that this was submitted IN
the same spirit and was not appreci-
ated as Joke. The section in ques-
ton. IL was pointed out yesterday,
may be invoked to prevent the ship
ment of wines and liquors from a wet
state into dry state. or a dry terri
tory within a state, and is regarded as
substantially strengthening TO the
Webb-Kenyon liquor law.
Whether the conferees accept or re-
tect the amendment. the probability
is that the disappointed element IN
both houses will insist on a roll cali
decision, thereby bringing up. at a
most inconvenient time. an issue
which members OF both the Senate
and the House are not anxious to con-
slider Just at this time.
