whose successors will be elected next
year is James Hamilton Lewis Dem)

II is said that the condition of Re
publican affairs in Missouri will be un-
covered in several suits now pending
against the state committee for nom

Among the men mentioned in con-
nection with the Tammany nomination

son movement hope that he may step
from the city hall in New York City
into the executive mansion at Albany
and from there into the White House
iat Washington.

the indianapolis news bureau reads "A
bipartisan cabal in the congress is
now out in the open in an attempt To
interfere with the conduct of the war

Guard Republicans who are permitting
themselves to be controlled by partisan
Iprejudices. Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania and Representative Mann OF
Illinois, who are against everything
that would promote the war, are types
of the partisan Legislators"
