great majority Of the former men,
bers expressed themselves as will
ing to do anything reasonable in
trying out the league legislation.
There is nothing to fear Of any
body of men likely to be elected
to the Legislature if they go
there unhampered by prejudice
and with a mind open to weigh
carefully all matters before them.
If men are sent under such con-
ditions it matters little what
walk of life they follow. But I
certainly hope there never may
be another Session in our State
wherein the actual membership is
influenced so much by men not
members, Omen without self inter-

of very radical ideas and few of

Washington. Nov. 2O.-No shipments Of
supplies will be permitted to go from the
United States to Russia until the situation
in that country clears. The American
government before allowing the export Of
goods already on the docks wants to
know into whose hands they will fall on
their arrival.
The cessation of shipments Is temporary

their program calling for a peace with
Germany the embargo will be permanent.
protracted civil war also would work to
keep the embargo tight, as the United
States then would fear that supplies might
go to the Boshcviki faction.
The provisional Russian government
was given credits amounting in all to
$325, 100000 of which s1S1 100000 already
had been advanced. Much Of this money
has been spent for supplies now awaiting
shipment and the Russians have been
given vessels for its transport. Shipment
will be held up by denial Of bunker coal
to the ships.
