HUNTINGTON, w a., Aug. 10.-A
lot of good bumor was injected into

"antis" were permitted to debate
equal suffrage. Mrs. Antonette Funk,

Mrs. o. d. Oliphant of Trenton. y. j..

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-lssues OF
the national campaign crowded leSls-
lation into the background today, n
the senate. and virtually tho only pro-
gress made with the pending shipping
bill was the reading of The amended
measure, sandwichrd between Repub-
lican assaults on the Democratic Ad-
ministralion and Democratic defenccs
of party achievements.
The flood Of partisan oratory was
started by Senator Townsend (Renub.
licanl who made speech supporting
the charge of Charles F.. Hughes that
F.. Dana Durand was retired as dlr"c.
Tor OF the census at the beginning OF
the present administration for politi-
cal reasons. Senator Townsend as
serted that Secretary Redfcld. of the

in stating that Mr.. Durand voluntarily
resigned.
Several Democrats. including Sena-
tors Stone. Hardwick ard Hoke Smith,
extended their congratulations 10 the
Republicans for having at last found

ator Smith added that his only criti-
cism for the president and secretary

openly remove Durand because he was
a man utterly without executive ca
