WASHINGTON, July 9.--Ever since
the recent election OF Richard n. Ell.

sentative In congress from the Sixth
Indiana District. administration lead
ers In congress have been busily ex-
planning that Mr.. Elliott's victory was
due entirely to the personal unpopu.
larity of the Democratic candidate,
Finly H. Gray.
Some explanation had to be made
by the administration leaders, for the
election in the Sixth Indiana district
attracted the attention of the entire
nation, It being the first opportunity
for any voters in the Central West to
express themselves since the general
election last November.
Put Blame on Finly.
Therefore the Democratic chiefs In
Washington decided to place the entire
blame for the Democratic defeat in
Indiana on the shoulders of Mr.. Gray,
and they were quite busy doing this
until day OF two ago. when an en-
barrassing situation arose which had
the effect Of completely silencing
them--a situation which was as anus
ing to the Republican leaders as it
was distasteful to the Democratic man
ayers.
The situation in question arose
when a copy of letter written by
Bernard Korbly, Democratic chair.
man Of Indiana, during the recent
campaign was made public.
In this letter. which was sent broad
cast through the district, Korbly call.

Gray, concluding 1t with the statement
that the election Of Mr.. Elliott would

Wilson and his policies"

So the talk OF the Democratic lead
ers that Mr.. Elliott's election was en-
t!rely due to the dissatisfaction Of the |
voters with Gray's record in congress
has ceased now, and no further Demo-
cratic explanations to advance. Mr.. |
Korbly has spiked their guns. and
Mr.. Korbly would not be the least /
bit flattered II he could hear what |
some OF the administration chiefs are
saying about him.

 All new government officials. in. cluding the popular Minister of War Kerensky, will. by the election, know what the public wills on certain matters and may change the law to coincide.
