New Jersey was picked as typical"
said Senator Kenyon.
E. H. Moore, speaking for Cox, in
sisted at Chicago that all Republican
state heads be summoned, but the
committee feels this is nothing more
nor less than wasting taxpayers
money in wild goose chasing. If
Moore undertakes to run the hearings
this time he probably will run into
trouble. While refusing to comment
on Moore and his methods at Chicago
Senator Kenyon indicated there is q
limit to patience.
Gerard is expected to inform the
committee what he is doing to round
up funds for the empty war chest of
the Democrats.
Link to League Suspected
From Houston the committee hopes
to learn whether there is any connec-
tion between the Democratic National
Committee and the League to Enforce
Peace. 1t has been the general impress
sion here for long time that the
league is more or less of an adjunct
to the national committee. At any
rate there seems to be no doubt that
it has been doing effective work in
behalf of Cox, the Wilson League can
didate
Other witnesses than those already
summoned will be called, but Senator
Kenyon emphasized that the number
"wil, not be large"
Numerous requests for other inves-
LEGATIONS have been received by the

Also the committee has been asked
to look into charges in Oklahoma and
Kansas growing out of the Chicago
convention.
Senator Kenyon indicated the COM
mittee Will make no pretense of pre-
pairing it's report for the Senate until
next winter.
Kenyon Predicts Landslide
Turning from the work of the in
vestigating committee to the political
outlook, Senator Kenyon said after
visiting FIVE states-Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa, Maine and West Virginia-it
looked TO him like "treme ndous Re-
publican landslide"

"No," was the answer. Senator
Reed is working as hard as he can for
the Democratic ticket"
John W. Herald, Republican SEN
atorial nominee in Oklahoma, has an
excellent chance to win, according to
Senator Kenyon. The 1owan will spend
several days in Oklahoma, and other
Progressive Senators will be sent there

overexert himself in working for the
Democratic ticket.

funds are not only highly improper but
