APRIL. 1926, has been set as the
date for the first P1a-.4meriean
Journalistic Conference. News
paper workers from every nation in
this hemisphere viii attend the meet
ing, which viii be held in Washing
ton.
PERSISTENT REPORTS are
heard that the federal grand Try
investigating the oil scandal will
return At least one, and mayb. two
or three indictments. Extraor hnary
care is being taken by Government
counsel in presenting their case in
view Of the courts warning that
indictments based on rumor or
scandal alone would not be tolerated
The first question taken up by the
Jury was E. L. Doheny's 100000
loan to ex-Secretary Of the Interior
Fall.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS are
investigating the feasibility Of broad
asting the proceedings Of Congress
3y radio Presidential speeches
have been put on the air from the
Capitol, but no effort has ever been
made to broadcast the complete
operations Of the national legisla-
-ure. The chamber Of the House
II Representatives is already
equipped with microphones and
simplifying apparatus, but it is used
to enable the members on the floor
TO hear what is going on among
themselves.
THE BURNING QUESTION
among the Democrats is the selee-
ton Of a presidential candidate, but
the Republicans are equally at
ioggerheads over the question of
Just what constitutes a Republican.
OF course, the Coolidge brand is in
the saddle, but at the Capitol there
is the Observation-Disclosures
group. which claims Republican
membership, although they have been
read" out Of the party by the
Republican National Committee. In
realization, Senator Brookhart read
all reactionaries" out of the party
but named no one in particular.
The party that sent Harding to the
White House four years ago does
not present the United front that it
once did.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has ex-
hibited amazing strength in the state
primaries, due largely to the
efficient political organization that
is managing his campaign In his
skirmishes with Congress, however.
ne has not been so successful.
The soldiers bonus bill was passed
IN the face of his repeated protests,
the Mellon tax plan is lost,and on
nearly every important peace of
legislation Administration forces at
The Capitol have been compelled to
e down to defeat before the power
full coalition of inSurgent Re-
publicans and Democrats.
