TRIBUTE TO ROOSEvE[TS
BY CHAPLAIN OF HOUSE

Tribute to the sacrifices made by the
Roosevelt family in the war and to
the inspiring example of Theodore
Roosevelt was paid in the prayer of
Rev. Henry n. Couden. the blind chap
lain of the House. as follows:
Our Father in Heaven, our hearts
are saddened by the news which has
gone forth of the death of a great
man. A statesman, a writer, patriot.
an ex-President of the United States.
has passed from the scenes of this
earth to the realms beyond.
"He was great in thought. great in
deed, kindly in his ways. but keen in
his conception of right. He was a
despiser of all things that tend to
lessen the good in life. His soul was
wrapped up in the light and charac-
ter of his nation. He was bold. fear
less and always told what he be-
lieyed to be the truth. We pray that
his like may come again and awaken
and in life. He was brave, he was
fearless, a strength wherever he went.
BE with the family who has suf-
fered much in this war through the
loss of a son and two other sons
wounded. Be with them and comfort
them in this hour of sorrow and help
them and US forward with the hope
that that life still lives in the realms
beyond and guides us all by right and
truth and justice. In Christs name,
amen"

Mr.. FORD TO CONTEST
FOR i. S. SENATE SEAT
Asks Recount of Michigan Ballots
Which Gave Mr.. Newberry Of
fice-Says Laws Violated.

In petition received today by Vice
President Marshall and laid before
the Senate. Henry Ford, democratic
candidate for United States senator,
who was defeated on the face of re-
turns by Truman H. Newberry. re-
publican. gave formal notice of a con-
test of the Senate seat and asked for
recount of the ballots.
Excessive use of money in New
berry's campaign, intimidation of
voters. improper rejection of ballots,
fragrant violation" of Michigan cleo
tion laws and many other charges
were made by MI Ford in his petit
ton.
The Ford petition was referred to
the Senate privileges and elections
committee, after being ordered print
ed.
The committee recently voted
against instituting an immediate in
vestigation of the Michigan election,
a majority holding that the present
Senate had no Jurisdiction over the
membership of the next Senate. An
carly meeting of the committee-prob-
ably next Thursday-is planned to con-
slider the new petition.

Bull Moose Party a Memory.

The bull moose party is dead-only
a memory, in fact. Some of it's lead
ers have gone over to the democrats,
bag and baggage. Its memory is
not pleasant one to everybody.
No one expects it to be revived as
a going concern in politics. The pro-
gressive republicans are still very
much alive and have men of ability
and standing in their leadership. Poll
ticians expect Senator Hiram johnson
of California and Senator Borah of
Idaho to forge to the front at once
as eXponents of progressive doctrines
and as possible presidential timber.
1t would be almost invidious dis
tinction to mention names in the
ranks of the regulars. but without
going out of the Senate the repub-
Iicans find such men as Knox of
Pennsylvania and Kellogg of Minne-
sofa, considered available for the can
didacy. Wadsworth of New York is
sure to be put forward by his friends,
it is said and his candidacy is re-
garded as practically a certainty.
Many republicans are of a mind
however, to seek through the country
at large for sizable presidential tim
ber. and believe that in some of the
rising governors of states a man may
be found to try his luck in the con-
vention. In this connection the idea
comes up again that the field is
widened among the regulars and that
the possibility of a clash bet ween
the progresSiyes and the oId-iine re-
publicans is lessened by the hand of
fate.

RULER OF LUXEMBOURG
TO LEAVE, REPORT SAYS
Political Situation Is Unfavorable
to Grand Duchess, Paris
Paper Hears.

PARIS, January (Havas).-Grand
Duchess Marie Adelaide of Luxem-
burg, the Matin says it learns from
reliable source, has decided to leave
Luxemburg, owing to the political
situation there. The situation, it is
added, has become unfavorable for
the grand duchess.
Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide is
twenty-four years old and became the
ruler of Luxemburg in June. 1912.
She welcomed the American troops to
Luxembourg in November, 191S, and
on November 26 appealed to President
Wilson for protection. During that
month it was reported her abdication
would be demanded by the parlia-
ment and the people. The political
situation in Luxembourg has been un-
settled for several years.

Going Back to Old Standards.

There is no thought in any mans
mind that the republican party is go
ing back to the standards and policies
of the old stand-pat leaders-Hanna,
Quay and the men who constituted
the leadership in the past. 1t is going
forward along progressiVes lines. 1t is
generally admitted. or else will be
foredoomed to reputation by the
voters. And republicans are not
courting defeat, with the renewed
power placed in their hands by the
voters last November.
The first result of the coloneTs death,
it was thought by republicans of
prominence at the Capitol today,
would be the entry into the race for
the presidential nomination of a num-
Der of men who would have held back
while there was probability that he
would be candidate. For the reason
stated, it was thought that there will
De a larger field of candidates in the
regular faction, with the ever-in-
creasing likelihood of the regulars
naming the man, with the acquies-
cence of the prosressives.

BY N. O. MESSENGER.

Col. Rooscvelt's death will occasion
the immediate necessity of casting

faction of the republican party, with
possible bearing upon the presidential
candidates. of 1920. Notwithstanding
that the memory OF 1912 and the bull

republican bosoms, the fact remains
that Col. Roosevelt was considered an

Saw End of Party Rancor.

When Col. Roosevelt and former
President Taft signed the joint appeal
to republicans of all factions to sup
port the republican tickets last No
vember, it was generally assumed by
politicians that reconciliation of the
two hostile groups would be effected
by 1920, and that Il reunited republi-
can party would face the democratic
party in the next presidential election.
Many republicans in Washington of
national prominence were convinced
that Col. Roosevelt himself would al
low his name to go before the con-
vention.
This belief was shared by some re-
publicans highly placed who, while
affiliated with the regulars in the
past, were not averse to taking into
consideration the claims of the
colonels friends OF his value as an as
set to the republican party, and We're
preparing to give him cordial support
if he should be favored by consider

1t is well known that the President
spent some time with his advisers
last June developing the plan of the
league of nations At that time he
had not reached a position as ad-
vanced as that which he now holds.
All the governments are gradually
realizing that an international or
ganization has become necessary if
Europe is to be rescued from its
present political, social and financial

Mr.. Roosevelt was two years in the

At the convention Mr.. Roosevelt's

See Simplified Situation.

Republicans in Congress. who are
representative of the party at large
and many of whom are the actual ma.
tional leaders of the party, took the
view today that the coloners death
will simplify the political situation
for the regulars That is to say,
with this dominating figure in poll
tics removed, they thought it will be
easier for the party to effect recon>
ciliation between it's factions through
the medium of some man who can
appeal to both factions and who will
not be Objectionable either to the
radical progressives or to the ultra
conservatiyes-some man without a
political past" it was suggested.
Old-line republicans were inclined
to think that such a man can be
found within the ranks of the regu-
lars and, indeed, is more likely to be
found there than among the most
ardent of the colonePs followers.
Celebrating this idea, it was pointed
out that the principles of the progress
sives. whom the colonel typified in
person. can be accepted with better
grace by the party than could the
coloners personality. with his record
of destruction of party lines.

A Name to Conjure With.

There is, to be sure. an element of
irreconcilables among the republicans,
who can never forgive the colonel for
breaking up the republican party and
permitting the democrats to control
the country for so many years. But
the men who compose that element
are conspicuous rather by their
prominence in party affairs than by
their number, it has been claimed by
politicians, and the feeling has been
steadily growing that with the mass
of the republicans through the coun-
try Roosevelt was still a name to
conjure with. and that he would most
certainly be proposed and vigorously
urged for the republican nomination.
Tt was estima tezf asyaFep Hnfiran lead
ers today that the first effect OF Col
Rooseveit's removal from the field of
possible candidates will be to broaden
that field-to throw it wide open to
all corners and in reality to give the
republicans greater latitude of choice
of candidates. 1t was explained that
as long as the colonel was alive and
active, his existence precluded the
entry of some others who aspire to
the same general progressive princi-
pies advocated by him.

British Catch Up.

Last summer the British govern
ment was far behind the Presidents
plan, but since then it has caught up
and passed in the radical changes it
is suggesting.
1t is known that last August the
Presidents friends urged him to make
public his plans for league of ma
tions, but he refrained, no doubt be-
cause any plan was likely to under
go radical changes One of the diff
culties has been the preservation of
national sovereignty, while at the
same time securing an international
organization with sufficient power to
prevent war and control international
affairs.
The truth is that all the fabric of
International relationship has been
hopeless behind the movement of
civilization. The body of interna-
tional law and the methods of ma
tions in dealing with each other have
proved a hopeless failure. An entire
ly new system is wanted more in
conformity with the needs of the
world.
