PLOT TO BUY CONVENTIONS
Senator 6orah Charges That President
Wilson Seeks The Democratic
Nomination

Washington. "A direct charge that
big financial interests were trying to
buy 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 p=e-convention 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
ito 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 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 aud where it was COM
ing from, Senator Borah vited news
paper reports that the Wood promoters
had pledged a campaign lund OF one
millitn dollars, that testimonials en-
dorsing General were being bought in
Indiana for $3.50 each and that every
vote cast for the Wood or Lowden
candidates. in the recent South Da'
kota primaries represented an expen-
diture of $10 Such situation, said
the senate, forecast 'saturnalia OF
corruption" unless congress acted.
In the course of the debate the
question of a third term for Presl-
dent Wilson was raised by Senator
Ashurst (Dem.) of Arizona, who SAID
"if any Democrat" were seeking
third term, the people ought to know
of it and oppose it. Senator Borah re-
piled he had evidence which conVlnc-
ed him President Wilson was trying
for another nomination.

Atlanta.-E Estimates ranging from
30 to so dead; of hundreds injured,

LAGRANGE appears to have been hit
hardest. The death list is placed at
IS, of whom seven are white. Early
reports set the number Of injured at
from 100 to $50. The last word from
a Red Cross expedition was that from
800 to 400 homes were wrecked.
West Point, just recovering from the
recent flood, saw large part of its
business section practically wiped out
with damage to residences confined to
those on the east side of the river. The
death list is estimated at IS, with
seven persons identified. The list of
injured is put at so. The West Point
station and hotel were unroofed; the
Presbyterian church blown down; the
First National bank building wrecked,
and the waterworks and lighting plant
crippled, leaving the stricken town in
darkness after the smash Of the hurri-

PEACE TREATY IS

RESOLUTION FOR END

II Is Stated That The Main Bone

which may tie up indefinitely the
peace treaty The house is encounter
ng the same obstacles in making peace
that disrupted the senate in dealing
with the treaty.
The main bone Of contention Is in
the wording of the peace resolution.
Democrats would confine the scope
OF the peace resolution to a respectful
request to the president that he de-
clare state of peace. They would
ask him to set date for the end OF
the sttae of war.
Then they would proceed to repeal
wartime legislative acts one by one
dealing with each individually, on the
theory that a sweeping repeal might
embarrass the country
For instance repeal, Of the alien
property act would leave title to sew
eral hundred million dollars worth OF
German property In question.
The espionage act, and the Lever
food control act must be repealed with
substitute provisions, it is agreed by
both Democrats and Republicans.
However the Republicans would
make the peace resolution sweeping
affair, setting the date for the end of
the war repeating war time legislation
and accepting the Knox senate resolu-
ton, which acknowledges the treaty
of Versailles, excepting such parts as
refer to the league of nations.
