DISCUSSES CONDUCT OF SAMPLE
CAMPAIGN MANAGER in LETTER

acting public duties as Mr.. Kemp
ley S assistant with the time-taking,
nerve-numbing and brain-busting
job of leading political forlorn
hope?
1t is not the purpose of this letter
to deprive. Senator Sample of your
expert coaching, for goodness knows
lie will need it. The projectors are
already tuned to fling to the 90 corn
ers 4of the seven counties of this
congressional district his war record
and his legislative record.
You will have nothing, my dear
Sclleck, but your skill as politician
to land him under the wire ahead
of Judge Swing Two years ago af-
ter he was the regular nominee, in 4
vote of 10000 you carried him with
only a majority of 5000 against an
independent candidate carrying n
serious and unexpected handicap.
AS an opponent Swing will be
stronger from all angles.
Swing will be elected as he ought
to be, and this is to suggest that You
resign temporarily as chairman of
our county central committee, and
that you get leave of absence from
your court house job without pay.
Get your pay from Sample. Let
him find out it is more blessed to
give than to receive.
With expressions of personal es.
teem,
Yours sincerely and truly, ...qa

President Obregon has promised
a full statement on the case today.
Mrs. Evans was an American born
woman, married to an Englishman

 To Their Desks

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Senator Norris of Nebraska, proceeded to show the Senate how moss-bound it is, in a playful argument for breaking preced- ents, which relieved the heated debate Friday.
 Urging election of committee to in- vestigate the department of justice, in- stead of appointment, by the speaker the precedent in the Senate-he pointed to the little box of black sand on the desks of senators, relics of the day be- fore paper blotters.
 There's nothing would induce us to keep this sand here except as an old precedent" he said.
 "Does the senator mean to say that the Senate is lacking in sand?' Senator Robinsin of Arkansas broke in. No, there's plenty of sand-every senator has some on his desk," Norris replied .-.
 Then, pointing to the desk of Senator Lodge, republican leader, Norris said
 But the senator from Massachusetts has violated one of the most ancient GUS toms of the Senate-look here,- he is using his sand box for paper weight" |"
 Lodge smiled, but declined to break another precedent by. giving his consent to the election of the committee.
