DEMOCRATS TO
NAME Minority
LEADER SENATE
Caucus to Be Held Within Next
Few Days to Select Success
sor to Senator Martin of
Virginia.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Democratic
members of the senate will hold a
caucus within a few days to pick a
minority floor leader filling the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Martin, Virginia.
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska; Un-
derwood, Alabama, and Simmons,
North Carolina, are the three fore
most candidates. The contest will be
lively, according to cloak room gossip
Ias the winner will be a strong con-
tender In the Democratic national con-
vention which selects a presidential
candidate next year. y -. 5,
Underwood, the youngest In point OF
years and service, is a fayorite. He
has been in the senate only since 1915
whereas Hitchcock came in 1911, and
Simmons in 1901. But Hitchcock is a
Nebraska man and Is not expected to
hold the southern Democrats as
against either Simmons or Underwood
Simmons is strong southern Demo-
crat who ',as always supported the ad-
ministration.
Underwood is viewed as a compro :
mise between Hitchcock and Simmons
Coming from Birmingham, an indus
trial city, Underwood's general ideas
ere regarded by many as. more in har-
mony with the general ideas of the in
6ustrial north than is the case with
most southern senators, his friends
say.
Underwood was a strong contender
for the Democratic presidential nom
nation in 1912 and is frequently mem
toned as possibility for next year.
Simmons held the highly important
chairmanship of the finance commit
tee under the Democratic regime.
Senator Hitchcock has conducted the
treaty fight for the the administra-
ton forces. although at times Under
wood has played a prominent part. No

IDAHO may GET
TWOCOMP ANIES
Of ARTILLERY
Negotiations Now Under Way
With Federal Government
for Change in Strength
Requirements.

Negotiations are under way with the
federal government for the equipment
of two artillery companies in Idaho,
probably one in north Idaho and one
in the south, it was learned today.
Arms were requisitioned several
months ago, but the war department
has refused to turn them over to the
state unless companies of the re-
quired strength of 100 men each are
organized.
Colonel l.. v. Patch, adjutant gen.
eral, has started negotiations with the
war department to have this mem
bership limit numbered to 60, since II
has been practically impossible to find
towns in the state large cough to mus
ter the required 100 men.
Colonel Patch, in an address al
Standpoint last week, asked that town
to become a candidate in north Idaho
for one of the two proposed companies
ONE IN SOUTH.
The other company would be ir
south Idaho. and it is understood that
as soon as he returns from the north
Colonel Patch will endeavor to organ
ize the south Idaho company.
For more than a year efforts were
made to organize a Third Idaho ma
tional guard regiment to take the place
of the famous Second Idaho as the
states armed forces. Just as success
was crowning the efforts of the inter
ested r1rizens backing the proposed
regiment, and after four companies
had been organized, the membership
limit was jumped from so to 100, ant
the efforts were dropped.
1t Is believed that not more than two
companies could be formed with the
required strength of 100 men. i
Colonel Patch Is successful in having
a special ruling made, by the war de-
partment to allow so men in Idaho
companies more will be organized.

RED CROSS
MAKES URGENT AP-
PEAL FOR CLOTHING
Will Receive Contributions
Every Afternoon at the
Elliott Building

The drive for used clothing in
augurated this week by the Red
Cross is going very slowly in New
ark according to report received
this morning.
In behalf of the war sufferers in
Poland, France, Belgium and the
Balkans, the Red Gross makes an
urgent appeal. They ask Newark
people to imagine, if they can, the
condition of the thousands whose
homes and fields have been laid
waste and who must face life
with with all the discouragement
that afflicts a proud, self-respect-
ing people who are under fed and
half clothed. The pitable plight of
the older men and women and the
saddened faces of little children
who are compelled to suffer has
made it's appeal to thousands who
are moved by compassion to give
not only used clothing such as the
Red Cross is asking but new cloth
ing and new material. 1t is hard
for those in sheltered corners of
the world to visualize the suffer
ings of those stricken people but
the Red Cross asks for humanity s
sake that their needs be met.
The Elliott Building is open
every afternoon to receive contri-
buttons. The Red Cross asks that
this appeal be needed and that
contributions be sent as soon as
possible.
