IN EMOcRATs and republicans In Con-

each other these days. setting their
political lines In order for the coming
campaign for election of the House and sec
tion of the Senate next November. Old-time
politicians at the Capitol declare that seldom
have they seen minority party so active. ag-
gressive and hopeful the democrats are at
this time And by the same token, the repub-
Hcans are correspondingly concerned and in
full realization of. the gravity of the situation
which confronts them.
Oscar Underwood, the democratic leader in
the Senate, voiced the position which the
democrats take toward the issues Of the cam
paign in the course of a political discussion

Opponents Fear Increase
OF Executive influence.

In opposition to the plan Of having
the cabinet officers appear on the floor
of the Senate and House it has been
urged that 1t would largely increase
the influence Of the executive on
legislation. But at least the influence
would work In the open, where now
it frequently works in the dark. An
other argument made against the
plan has been that it would make the
heads Of departments freezer Of the
President, because of their influence
with Congress. But the fact remains
that the President at any time Is at
liberty to lop off the official head Of
any cabinet officer. and this probably
would have a restraining influence on
a secretary who might believe he was
particularly strong with Congress.
Probably there would be. lively
times in the Senate If; for instance,
the Senate could call Senator Fall be-
fore it and question him in regard to

LIQUOR CARRIED
BEHIND CUSHIONS
Of TOURING CAR

Especial Correspondence to The journal
Artesia, N. NJ, June 2O.-With a
cargo of hauor,. riding in cavity
behind the upholstery of their au-
tomobile, three men, giving their
names as Zollox, Ward and Will
iams. were arrested in Artesia on
Saturday by Night Watchman M.
Stevenson. A large touring car
went speeding through the town
about 4 O'Clock in the morning, anc
the occupants refused to stop when
hailed by the officer. Shortly after
daybreak the car returned to the
city for gas and oil, and the offi-
Ger arrested the men.
Stevenson, who is also a deputy
sheriff and q garage man, followed
the tracks of the big car across the
Pecos river bridge and three miles
east of town, where he found sew
eral cases of bottled whisky hidden
in the tamarack bushes. The car
was searched and many quarts oi
booze were found in the false
cushions. The upholstering was
placed on large iron plates between
which and the back were large cav"
iities.
The prisoners pleaded not guilty
lin Judge Gilberts court before the
fake cushions were discovered.
Sheriff Sam Baton took the
prisoners and the liquor to Carls-
bad for safekeeping.
Over 200 quarts were confiscated
