MRS. w, w. MARTIN MAY
SUCCEED MRS. HALTERMAN
ON CONSTITUTION SLATE
c. E. Yancey, Democratic Chairman,
Names Fayette Woman to Fill
Vacancy on Fusion Ticket.

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. &c. Z
Y ancey, OF Liberty, Cha1TMan Of MI
Democratic state commission, has
announced the appointment of Mrs
w. w. Martin of Fayette as one OF
the IS fusion candidates for dele
gates at-large to the new state con-
stitutional convention to I'LL the va
cancy caused by the resignation OF
Mrs. Katherine Halterman OF Mount
Vernon.
Mrs. Haltermau informed Thomas
II. Fisher. secretary of the Demo
cratic state committee. that she would
be unwilling to become a candidate
for delegate tlaigc because of her
interest in Mrs. Martin. She de-
clared she did not know about the
plan to place her name on the ticket
and that she had no thought about
becoming candidate She said that
at the time the committee was meet
ing here Monday she was circulating
petitions in her senatorial district in
behalf of Mrs. Martin.
4 meeting of the subcommittee OF
the two major parties must be called
early next week to fill the vacancy OF
Frederick N. Lehman of St. Louis,
who hasNeclined to accept the NOM
nation of\an independent on the flu
sion ticket. Y -chmann's name was sug-
gested by tH Republican state com
mitiee and Aas accepted by the Dem
ocrats. The name of former Judge
Henry s. Lamm of Sedalia, Republi-
can. also was suggested. 1t is not
believed that the Democrats will
agree to Lamm.
Mrs. Martin formerly lived at Cape
Girardeau and has been as active
leader for suffrage and a worker in
the Democratic party. She played
prominent part in the Democratic
state convention at Joplin and the
Democratic national convention at
San Francisco.
She has been Endorsed by many or
for delegate-at-large to
the constitutional convention and It
is certain that she will be candi-
date regardless of whether she is oHs
of the fusion candidates.

Washington, Dee. 10 ---RcvtcWint
hi, condemnation Of the .i-powcr pact
treaty, begun in the senate yesterday
Senator Reed. Democrat, OF Mis-.
souri,, "irreconcilable' OF the Yer
sailcs treaty fight, told the senate
today that the United States had
yielded to Japan tremendously i'm
portant vantage points from whIch tc
strike at America
He added that by the i-powcr
agreement the United State, had
consented to the retention by Japan
"of an almost impregnabe Gordon OF
potential naval bases Tor her defense
which virtually would render her tnl-
mune from attack
Mr.. Reed also seized on the an
nounccment of the naval reduction
agreement, saying it appears that
the United States truckles to Japan
He asserted that while the American
government navy was being cut.
Japan would be permitted to retain
the great Mutsu, "a great floating
arsenal, cxcelling i'll speed and po-
teati4a4i... anything ave haze az cHer
can have for the period of the trca-
tvs life"
"Only a little has been permitted
to dribble out of the secret sessions
of the conference" the Missouri SEN
ator continued. But enough has
come from the dark mystery OF the
meetings that it seems the occidental
mind is automatically no match tor
the oriental in skill and chicancry,'
In the course Of the discussion. the
speaker told the senate that he had
to stumble over some of the Jap.
ancse names, because. although |
know that we must begin to learn the
japanese language, their names are
a little ahead of me yet"
The treaty, Mr.. Reed continued,
assures England and Japan of su-
prcrnacy in the Pacific and leaves
those powers to go on undisturbcd IN
their plans. He recoun,eG the island
possessions of the two countries and
added I'VE have had much Goa
troyersy about the island of Yar. Ii
is spoken of as though it were the
only island we were yielding. The
fact is that, as compared with the
Archipelagoes of the Pacific. it re-
sembles a single flyspeck 'pon
plate glass window.
