DENT WILSON SEEKS THE
NOMINATION
WILSON WANTS THIRD TERM
Charges Made In Support OF Measure
To Limit Pre-convention
Expenditures

NashingtOn.-A direct charge that
Big financial interests were irving ia
/ bay the national conventions of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties was made in the senate by Sena-
tor Borah (Rep) of Idaho, in a speech
advocating congressional action to reg.
ulate the pre-conyention expenditures
of candidates for the presidency.
Concentrating his attack on the
hackers OF Major General Wood and
Governor Lowden for the Republican
nomination, Senator Borah declared
the Wood managers were attempting
TO control the Republican convention
by the use of money" while the Low
den organization apparently was
spending even greater sums to gain
support for their candidate.
The speech brought on a heated
debate during which Senator Moses
(Rep) of New Hampshire, manager
Of General Woods Washington head
quarters, made general denial that |
excessive funds had been used in the |
Wood candidacy or that any money |
had been spent except 'legitimately |
and necessarily"
Calling on all the candidates to tell |
the country voluntarily how much they
were spending and where it was COM
ing from, Senator Borah vited news
paper reports that the Wood promoters
lad pledged a campaign fund of one
nillitEl dollars, that testimonials en-
lorsing General were being bought in
indiana for $3.50 each and that every
,cte cast for the Wood or Lowden
in the recent South Da-
.ota primaries represented an eXpen-
iture of $40. Such a situation, said
he senate, forecast "saturnalia OF
unless congress acted. ,
In the course of the debate the
uestion of a third term for Presi-
ent Wilson was raised by Senator
shurst (Dem.) of Arizona, who said
if any Democrat" were seeking

it and oppose it. Senator Borah re- = !.

Discovery that exporters in mar

Gus narcotics are strictly forbidden,
pending the promulgation of regula-

Developments show that the wide

loophole that Illicit traffickers de-
sired. and because of this great guam
titles of narcotics were shipped out
to foreign ports.

collectors shall be satisfied that the
article is not in violation of any State
