FAVOR MADDEN
TO RUN G. O..P.
FALLCAMPAIGN
Leaders Turn to Illinois
Man to Heal
Discord.

Martin B. Madden, representative
from Illinois. Is slated for Republi-
can Congressional, chairman. to con-
duct next falls campaign. His se-
lection will be unanimous at the first
meeting OF the joint House-Senate
committee.
Leaders have turned to him TO
smooth out situation of discord
which has given the party chiefs great
concern. A harmony" meeting cali
ed for Wednesday night, 1t developed
yesterday, resulted in a bitter wrangie
for four hours. Adjournment finally
came with practically every member
in angry mood, and with much busi-'
ness still untouched.
AS details of the conference were
aired 1t became plain that party paci-
fiers will have much to do to prevent
the unseating OF Representative Green,
Of Massachusetts,, as chairman OF the
conference. Suffrage leaders are af-
ter his scalp because of his alleged
partisan administration of his duties.
Second Caucus Called.
As result of Wednesday nights
unsuccessful attempt to outline a
party program, second caucus is on
the boards for next Tuesday. De-
mands will be made that the party
endorse Minister OF Munitions. a
permanent system of compulsory mill
tary training, and an after-the-war
commerce policy in line with the old
Republican protection doctrine.
On these principles. Republicans ex-
pect to make party record the re-
mainder of this session. and to con-
duct their Congressional campaign
next fall.
A minor development Of the con-
ference was an attack on Miss RAN
kin. of Montana, by Representative
Meeker, of Missouri, an anti-suffrage
leader among Republicans. He charg-
ed her with having said that so far
as suffrage was concerned, she was
neither Republican nor Democrat.
Sympathy. however, is not with
Meeker. and no movement will be
made to question Miss Rankin's party
status.
To Succeed Wood.
Representative Madden will succeed
as chairman of the Congressional
Committee, Representative Wood, OF
Iowa.
With 1918 results regarded as a
sure forerunner of the 1870 campaign,
Republicans are preparing a highly
aggressive campaign The overturn
OF flve or six votes would give
them absolute control in the House,
and due to Democratic deaths in
the Senate there is an admitted pos
sibility of victory there.

The Love Pirate.


Her supply of face powder depleted,
Corinne Jeffries looked around for a
frienG from whom she could borrow
the price of a box.
As Roberta Greenfield was opening
her purse, to extract a quarter to
loan Corinne. the latter almost faint
ed.
For on Roberta's finger was a ring
which Corinne had loaned Joseph
Scully. Joe had sworn never to let it
get away from him.
Corinne never said a word. She re-
fused the money. She hurried away
to find Joe.
The boy had no explanation. He
couldn't even tell why he had given
away something that didn't belong to
him.
1t dawned on Corinne suddenly that
Joe had borrowed the ring with the
express purpose of giving it to Rob-
erta.
Besides toying with Corinne's heart,
he was guilty of larceny by trick The
very worst kind of larceny, Corinne
said.
She was angry enough to have him
arrested. If he had lost il, or sold 1t
for something to eat, she could have
forgiven him.
But he played her false. 1t was
downright treaehery. Corinne told the
court.
And SO Joe not only lost a sweet
heart but SO bill which the court
took away from him as a fine.
