Washington, March 24-The Amer

at the beginning Of the war but did
not "carry on in the early days "as
efficiently as it could and should
have done,' Captain Horace Laning
assistant chief of navigation bureau
testified at the Senate naval investi-
CATION today. He charged during the
war it was difficult and frequently i'm
possible to obtain the departments
approval of essential plans, thus in
creasing the difficulty Of carrying on
the war and decreasing the effective
ness of American participation.
Laning said virtual chaos existed
in the navy department at the begin
ming of the war and the personal
characteristics of Secretary Daniels
often made 1t impossible to get ap-
rroval of really important policies. y

Judge Young's Letter
Judge Young's letter follows:
Editor of Times! Union: The con-
vention which framed the present
constitution of this state, put into
section 2 Of article w this provision:
"The governor shall not be
eligible for reelection to said Office
the next succeeding term" This was
intended to prevent governor from
using his office to build machine
to secure his reelection. When that
convention was held, the United
States senator's were elected by the
legislature, so 1t did not occur to
the convention that a governor might
use all the powers Of his high office
to secure his election to the United
States Senate, and neglect his duties
canvassing over the state. The con-
duct Of the present governor shows
that our patchwork constitution
should be so amended as to provide
candidate for any Office during his
that any governor who becomes q
ter of office shall thereby vacate his
office, and that the fact Of such va
cation shall be determined on quo
warranto proceedings instituted in
the supreme court by any qualified
voter. It is disgraceful that a COVER
ror of great state should use the
lower Of his high office to aid his
election to another Office.

Political Machine

Judge Young advocates this
amendment to prevent governor
using his office to build up a political
machine to secure his election to the
United States Senate or some other
high office.
Judge Young points out that the
constitutional convention wisely pro-
vided that "the governor shall not be
eligible for reelection to said office
the next succeeding term for thu
simple reason to prevent him using
his Office to build a machine to secur
reelection.

says that when the convention was
