The state herald., 1914-03-20

Senator Thomas Of our state has f.
nally succeeded in landing his son in.
law in good fat four years govern
ment job.
The Wilson administration richly re-
wards the statesman from Colorado
who made possible the enactment of q
law contrary to the wishes of a large
majority of the voters OF his state.
Colorado people were well aware of
the fact that Senator Thomas is firm
believer in the doctrine that, to the vic
tor belongs the spoils. but they were
not aware Of the fact that, for his spe-
cial benefit, this doctrine had been en-.
larged to include all of his relatives.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon who
recently Introduce the resolution in
the senate calling for an explanation of
Ambassador Pages speech in London
In which he gave new definition of
the Monroe doctrine, takes the position
that Mr.. Page should be recalled.
II is reported that Ambassador Page
will receivn no reprimand at the hands
|of President Wilson As he regards this
Tsp ech in question as only "facetious
ness" Well. II this bad break made
by Ambassador Page was simply Joke
then how about President Wilson'S
democratic senate. Was its action in|
passing the resolution on the Page in-|
|cident alfo "facetio,sness?"

Aid. Tom" Gilman. Judge Phelan
refused TO allow Attorney KennAry

McGurn finished his other testimony
shortly before noon. and will be re-
called later, II the Judge puts aside
the objection OF the prosecutor.
Thus far McGurn has proven the

testimony bears out the story Gilman

feet that the alderman never talked Of
or received bribe from Brennan. Me-
Gurn testified that. while he did not
hear all of the conversation In the
bride chamber over the dictagraph.

didn't hear money mentioned, except
when Brennan spoke about the prob
able salary Gilman would receive a.

appreciable extent. McGurn was ex-
tremely impertinent TO the prosecutor

that Burns told him he feared Bren-
