Few Clear Issues
1 The campaign conducted by the as
pirants for the Republican senatorial
: nomination has brought out few cleal
5 issues. Mr.. Beveridge made an adroit

tion but apparently has carefully
2 avoided offending the present admin
3 istration.
There was no appeal made by either
candidate for the ex-seryice vote or
/ the subject of the bonus.
Foreign relations were also dealt
with diffidently by both men and with
out definite pronouncement, according

This appeal to the voters was fol
the most part confined to the records
: made by the candidates during theil
4 term in the United States senate.
