regarded as loyal.
No date for the adjournment of CON
gress has as yet been agreed upon, but
judging by present indications it will
adjourn in time for the members to get
home to eat Thanksgiving dinner with
their families.
Among those senators whose terms
expire in 1919 and whose successors will
be elected next year are Hardwick of
Georgia, Vardaman Of Mississippi and
Norris Of Nebraska. That none Of these
will be his own successor is a safe bet
The war revenue bill passed by the
senate by vote of So to A. That there
should have been any votes against the
measure is surprising, but what is more
surprising is that the four negative
votes were cast by Republicans-Bo
Gronna, La Toilette and Norris.
Robert NJ. La Toilette. who represents
Wisconsin Germans in the senate, calls
himself "A Republican AeJa Gronna,
who represents North Dakota Swedes in
the senate, calls himself Republican.
These senators have misrepresented the
Republican party as well as their states
since the war began.
Former Senator Works of California
was not always the bowling pacifst he
now is. A few years ago he advocated
immediate war with Mexico, and the
seizure Of Lower California. This IS
quite contrary to the policy Of the pa.
cifsts, but at that time he was playing
politics and it was anything to embar.
rass the administration
An army Of prohibition orators has in
vaded Georgia although Georgia is sup
posed to be done dry. The campaign be.
gan on September and will continue
until November 4. Someone may curl
ously inquire, why a prohibition cam
paign in prohibition Georgia." The
same question was asked in Kansas and
in Oklahoma and in Maine.
For the first time in many years no
anti-prohibition plank was Incorporated
in the platform of the German.American
Alliance Of Missouri, adopted at its an.
nual convention. Among the resolutions
adopted was one favoring a non-partisan
state government and another for home
rule for cities and townships An ex-
preston Of "fealty and adherence to the
United States constitution as well as the
laws Of the state of Missouri" was con.
tanned in the report Of the committee on
resolutions.
The news from Dunklin county, Mis-.
souri, that a meeting of Democrats has
been called "to indorse President Wilson
and his management Of the war and the
support that has been given him by the
state administration" has had the ef.
feet Of reviving the discussion of the
probability Of a state conventions being
called 10 repudiate the two Missouri sen.
ators because Of their failure TO support
President Wilson in the war measures.
Nobody now IS saying that the boast
of the prohibiuonists that the nation
viii be dry by 1920 is an idle boast. Al.
ready twenty-three states are dry

Oregon, Washington, Arizona. Alabama.
Arkansas. Iowa, Idaho. South Carolina.
Michigan Nebraska. Montana south
Dakota, Oklahoma. North Dakota. Ge5r-
gia and Mississippi. That Texas win
soon be added 10 the list I'm indicated by
the vote the other day I'm Dallas. the
most popuIous county in the state.
That the picketing OF the White House
contributed largely TO the defeat Of the
suffrage amendment ia Maine and is
hurting the cause everywhere. there is
no doubt Even Dr. Anna Shaw. who a
few years ago advocated militant meth.
ads. is convinced, just before the Maine
election Miss Shaw wrote: There is uo
doubt that go per cent of loyal active
sufmgists deplore the pickeung as in.
urious 70 the best interests of suffrage
and that they consider that. instead of
Fastening the passage of am amendment
TO the national constitution, it has been
the means Of delaying It's passage"
