papers in his district. Mr.. Reid in a
signed statement tells exactly how
and why he won, which in substanrc
is that his campaign was direlted
against spehial interests controlling
the Republican reactionary Congress.
He says;
"The campaign was waged against
the system by which dozen men
of great wealth dominate the action
of Congress on matters of tariff and
taxation, and use their great power
to secure legislative protection to
their own interests.

WEEKLY news NOTES
FROM WASHINGTON
Special correspondence

Washington, May 2.-The conser-
&ation of natural resources which was
a hobby of Theodore Roosevelt and
policy Of President Roosevelt's ad-
,ministration is in danger Of being
completely overthrown, to judge by
the violent assaults that are being
made upon it in connection with oil
and coal lands.
What promises to be a great ma
Tional scandal is the alleged turning
over of the huge Teapot Dome oil
fields in Wyoming to private inter-
ests. This is one of the fields held
in reserve for the Navy to keep adc-
quate reserves of fuel for it's oil-burn-
ing ships. The naval oil reserves
were recently taken over from the
Navy Department by the Interior De-
partmcnt under an executive order by
President Harding. The deal of the
Teapot Dome district is with the Sin
clair Oil interests, a subsidiary of the
Standard Oil, and the latter company
is said to be preparing to build pipe
lines to carry the oil to it's rcfncrieJ
in the Middle West. The Sinclair oil
Hock has been more or less dormant
for year. Just prior to the time of
the alleged closing Of the deal with
the Interior Department the market
value of the stock increased more
than $30,000,00O in three days, as a
result Of huge transactions on the
New York Stock Exchange, indicat-
i2g -tiidt there was an inside tip on
80 30 alleged deal.
ss((e IF it had not been for the vigilance
sSSfaSenator John 3. Kendrck, who so
"Nay represents Wyoming in the
United States Senate, this deal which
4 was made in secret and evidently
without any competitive bids might
Ynot now be known to the public
Senator Kendrick introduced a reso-
3lution calling upon the Secretary of
sthe Interior for information concern
ling this oil negotiation, and in speak
fling sdpon this resolution he pointed
nout the immense value of this great
9naval oil reserve, and also that it was
3of greater benefit to the nation to
yalloW this oil to remain stored under
sgrdind than to remove it across the
country to be stored in surface tanks

lieutenant of the late Senator Foraker

lieutenant Of the late Senator Foraker
in Ohio, and Foraker was known as
the Standard Oil's representative at
Washington. President Harding was
also affiliated with the Foraker fac
tion in Ohio in those days.
Recently when the independent oil
people Of Texas and Oklahoma were
clamoring for a tariff on oil, the
President of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey called at the
White House while the Fordney Bill
was pending in the House, and oil
is still on the free list.
One reason alleged for the sudden
change Of sentiment among Republi-
can Senators who had previously op-
posed the ratification Of the treaty
with Columbia, when it was ratified
in the early part Of President Hard
ing's administration, was that Stand
ard Oil was interested in the acquisi-
ton and development of Columbian
oil bearing territory.
The partnership between oil and the
Republican party dates back to the
early days when the Standard Oil
Company was the ally of the corrupt
Republican machine in Pennsylvania
With the revelations concerning the
Teapot Dome district and the an
tcipated raid on government coal
lands in Alaska there is every reason
to assume continued alliance be-
tween oil and the G. O. p. Friends
of national conservation are naturally
alarmed, and are already limiting that
conservation may be one Of the
prominent issues in the coming cam
paign.

Republican primaries are beginning
to give a line on how the people feel
toward this administration which
supplements and confirms what was
shown in the recent municipal cleo
tions in which the Democrats were
SO overwhelmingly successful
A primary contest in point was that
in the Eleventh Illinois District,
where Frank r. Reid, a critic Of this
administration and the Republican
Congress, defeated Ira C. Copley, a
member of the powerful House Ways
and Means Committee, multi-mil-
lionaire, and the owner Of three news. {.
