Campbell didn't know of any graft
AT present Missouri has fourteen
Democratic and two Republican
representatives in the national house
Of Representatives. Possible changes
are notable, particularly in the
eighth and fifteenth districts, where
Dorsey W. Shackleford and Per
d. Decker seek denomination on
the Democratic ticket. Both OF
these congressman voted against
the declaration OF war and against
the armed ship bill, and Decker
voted for the McLemore resolution
Both parties in Indiana are more
than confident that they will be
awarded the decision by the voters
next fall Edmund n. Wasmuth,
the new Republican state chair
man, predict, that the present con
gressional deiegation-nine Repub-
Leans and four Democrats-will be
changed to eleven Republicans and
two Democrats. On the other
hand, State Democratic Chairman
Fred Van Nuys declares that I'VE
expect to make a clean sweep of it
at the polls next fall"
The Republican gubernatorial Sit
uation in Wisconsin is about as
complicated as was the senatorial
situation few weeks ago. A Re-
publican conference will be held
within few days, and undoubted-
ly Governor Phillips will be indors-
ed as a candidate for reelection.
However. a boom for State Sena
tor Roy p. Wilcox has been launch
ed and the indications are that the
La Toilette Republicans will have
a candidate.
Governor Cox and Ex-Governor
Willls-opponents in the last two
contests in Ohio and
probable opponents in the one this
year--have filed their declaration
of candidacy. Willis defeated Cox
in 1914 and Cox was the winner in
1915. Upon the supreme issue OF
he year-the war-they are in COM
Dlete accord. On another issue,
paramount in Ohio--prohibition-
hey also agree. Therefore, it isn't
/ matter of much concern to the
people of Ohio which of these men
s elected.
To constituent who requested |
hat he ask President Wilson to send
ieneral Wood to France, Congress
nan Dyer of Missouri made this
eply: My duties are plain and
o are those of the president. This
S no time to harass the president
n doing those very things that the
constitution says he shall do. He
nows best whom to send TO France
o command our soldiers there. He
houid not be called upon to say
Thy he does not send General
Wood OF any other officer y
There is probability that there
i'll be radical change in the per-
onncl OF the Wisconsin congress
onai delegation in congress at the
ext election. There is only one
the eleven representatives whose
'yalty has not been questioned by
is constituents upon the basis of
is record in congress. That one
Congressman d. G.. Classon OF
lie ninth district. He was elected
pom straight American platform
ith no concessions to any other
ltionality. and has stood upon that !
atform throughout his term in !
,ngress.
Former Gov. Fred Nj. Warner
2ep0 has Withdrawn from the
ce for senator in Michigan, but
'rmer Gov. Chase 5. Osborn de
ines to withdraw. The movement
give Henry Ford the nomination
Id election unopposed is charac-
rized by Mr., Osborn as part OF
| organized effort of Democrats
disrupt the Republican party. He
Is attacked Mr.. Ford's business
cord, his Pacifist activities and
5 personal characteristics. and de-
ares that under no circumstances
'uld he support Mr.. Ford'S candi-
ICY and that he would bend every
fort TO defeat him.
