The free sugar issue will cut figure
In the 1913 Congressional campaign.
Already, the issue is raised in a prom
inent way in Colorado. Former Con-

has come out as a candidate for the
Senate against Senator Thomas. Mar
tin was In the House two terms and
is a radical supporter OF the labor
cause. At the same time he is against
free sugar. Colorado is much interest

Senator Thomas, although from Colo

OF course, free sugar is a burning

1t is interesting 70 observe, by the
way, that in the new upper chamber,
of the twelve members named by
the King, nine will be supporters of
the liberal program. That is to say,
the King, recognizing the determine

dent of the United States Civil Serv-

The first president Of the club was
Miss Mary Wood, also a lawyer.
Among the subjects studied during
the first years of its existence were
civil government, taxation. and mu-
nicipal government. instructive lee
lures along these lines being given

Allender was elected president of the
State Equal Suffrage Association of
the District. of Columbia in 1913,
Mrs. Katherin Guy Hopkins, wife of
