perts predicted the next war would
be in the air. Then came the Teapot

appealed to his colleagues not to
unseat Sol Bloom as a member

vestigated charges of irregularity IN
connection with the election Of
Bloom, who is a democrat, has rec
commended that former Representa-

an, his opponent, at the polls, be
seated in his place. Three demo-
Gratis on the committee dissented.

mittee controlled by the democrats
unanimously decided to retain in
his seat the late Representative
John NJ. C. Smith, republican, Mich
igan, whose election had been con-
tested on virtually the same grounds
on which Chandler is endeavoring
to unseat Bloom.
Mr.. Chandler, it was pointed OH.
