Will Inquire Where
Money Game From

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-"The
day that congress meets" said Sena-
tor Owen. of Oklahoma on his arrival
here Saturday, 81 will introduce a
resolution for an investigation Of
the alleged election frauds in the
last campaign.
Il have been told that the Republi-
cans spent $10,OOO,OOO in an effort to
elect Mr.. Hughes and l think the
country should know where the
money came from and how it was
spent.
81 will demand that the men in
Wall Street. who put upthe money
and evaded the campaign publicity
act on technicalities to keep from
making their contributions and dis.
tributions public, be uncovered"
Senator Owen declared that his
resolution will include senatorial as
we'll as presidential elections.
81 am convinced that large Sims
of money used in New York, Indi-
ana. Illinois, Ohio. West Virginia
Massachusetts and other states have
not been accounted for. The pres
ent law is easy to get abound and the
Republicans took advantage Of all the
loopholes.
Some of the New York people
who went as far as possible to elect
Mr.. Hughes violated the law, and
they should be brought to account
An investigation by a special com
mittee Of congress will reveal the
facts"
Senator Owen will press. his bill tc
regulate, control and limit campaign
and other contributions and expendi
lures in connection with Presidential
and senatorial elections at the com
ing session of congress-.

was not successful, il led eventually to

the menace of an inimical power it is
cheap enough. One natural harbor ii
these islands is capable of sheltering a
considerable fleet In our hands, this
station would be formidable for de-
fensive purposes. Occupied by posi-

months or a year because all the bellig-

that time. Several of the nations may

THE LETTER CARRIE
Howard LRdnn

The letter carrier is meek cross be
tween an express wagon and a furni-
ture van which is used for the purpose
of saving the legs of the Inhabitants.
If it were not for the letter carrier
and his long, eager feet the citizens
of this restless Republic would have to
90 TO the post office for their mail two
or three times day, thereby wearing
ont thousands Of serviceable legs which
could better be employed in chasing
a golf ball or running around a billiard
table with outstretched tongue.
The letter carrier is chosen because
of two reasons, his patience and his
physique. If the letter carrier delivers
mail to the wrong house and is mauled
into close resemblance to a bread
pudding by an irate tenant. he is re-
quired under the regulations to sing the
first verse of Angry words, 0 let
them never and pull a sweet smile
over such of his teeth as happen to be
left The letter carrier always makes
model husband, as he is able to put
mp with anything that strays onto the
table disguised as food without using
coarse and reproachful language.
Letter carriers are now selected be
cause of the size, number and location
