GLARING HEADLIGHTS

Harvey T, Woodruff, the wide awake

following in his column last Sunday
and everybody said amen to it:
What has become of enforcement of
regulations against glaring headlights
Within the last two weeks The Wake
has seen three collisions and two pc
destrians strack because drivers were
blinded by the lights of cars approach
ing from the opposite direction.
Conditions are becoming worse rath-
er than better. During the summer
The Wake counted cars on Sheridan
bright enough to confuse. Last week
we made another tabulation and the
percentage was one out of five.
There is one popular make of car
whose headlight has the effect of
''brights" until you are nearly oppo-
site it, when the DINNER seems to take
effect. If that light comes within the
laws, the laws ought to be changed.

INITIAL SHIP BILL TILT LOST
Insurgent Senators FiIibuster to Delay
the Passage of the Administra-

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
was the scene of lively skirmishing
in what eventually will be desperate
pitched battle between the admins
tration and the opposition in congress
over the ship subsidy bill. In the pre-
liminary engagement the opposition
won.
The Democrats and Republican op-
ponents inaugurated filibustering tao
tics to prolong the passage of the bill
until February if possible, by which
time it would become comparatively
easy to talk the measure to death in
the closing days of this congress,
which will expire March 4.

Washington, Dec. 14-Blunt notice

was served by the house appropria-

an extension of the treaty, limitation
of aircraft to be included. The bill
provides for an enlisted personnel of
$4,000.
Naval Competition Renewed.
The committee report said large
cruisers and submarine programs were
planned abroad, adding:
In other words, competition is on
again in the single direction to which
the unratified Washington naval treaty
does not extend, and if it be allowed
to go on unchecked, the purse strings
again must be relaxed and this gov
eminent, like all others, will be con-

BRENNAN'S POLITICAL
STRATEGY PRAISED

Parke Brown in Wednesdays Chi
cago Tribune:
Although contest for empty
honors since the proposed constitu-
ton was defeated, the Democrats of
Cook county won a signal victory in
the conditional election of two new
justices of the Supreme court.
They did not enter a candidate
against Frederic R. De Young, the Re-
publican nominee for the eleven year
term, but their choice for TIE nine
year term, Roswell B. Mason, defeat
ed Judge Mazzini Slusser of Wheaton.
the Republican nominee, by a large
margin and in Cook county and Chi
cago ran up a total larger than De
Young's.
Neither De Young nor Mason will be
seated, but the paper victory of the
latter was considered tactical coup
for George E. Brennan, the Demo-
cratic commander, who evolved the
idea of running Mason, a Cook coun-
ty man, against Judge Slusser, a Du
Page county resident instead of
against De Young, who also comes
from Cook county
II the Democrats had put up candi-
dates for both the long and short term.
running Mason against De Young and
E. G. Purkhiser of Will county against
Judge Slusser, as originally planned.
it is probable both Republicans would
have won But an error in the certif-
cate OF the nomination of the two
Democrats first selected gave Brennan
the opportunity that he seized.
He saw the chance that Mason
would come out on top as a result of
the heavy Cook county vote in his ia
vor ii he ran against Slusser. and the
returns indicate that is just what hap
pened. Returns from the other four
counties in this Supreme court dis
trlct-Wlll, Dupage, Lake and Kanka-
kee-were missing last night. but Ma
son was out SO far ahead of his op-
ponent on the Cook county returns
alone that the total vote in the other
four apparently could not beat him
II every one there voted against him
Mason's total vote in Cook county
was 246,571, in contrast to judge Slus-
ser's 2O4, 4O7-a lead of 42,164. De
Young, the only Republican nominal
ed and running without opposition.
received 23S482 in Cook county. Ieav-
ing him S,089 behind Mason. In Chi
cago alone Mason ran 47,34O ahead of
Slusser and 1885 ahead of De Young
The defeat of the constitution also
may have played an important part in
the prospects of Justice Orrin N. Car
ter for reelection in 1924. A number
OF lawyers have held that if both
De Young and Mason were elected
from prevented Justice Carter from
seeking reelection from the same
