tion. he said, he must reserve what

The committee only recourse now is
to certify him to the Senate.

mediatcly on the witness stand.
Do YOU know the witness who just
left the stand?" asked Senator Walsh,
the committee prosecutor.

Tell US about it.

Yes, but that story is untrue; it
is false

COOLIDGE PLURALITY LARGE

'osbD"D LHNuE
President Coolidgc's plurality over
Senator Robert M. LaFollette in the
North Dakota presidential primary
held up remarkably well in bclated
rural returns, almost complete tfbu-
lations showed.
When onehalf Of the vote was re-
ported the Presidents lead over La
Toilette was 1898 and with more
than 95 percent of the vote in his
lead still was 13,4S7. The last fifty
percent of the vote reported was al
most wholly rural much of it from,
northwestern part of the state. The
decrease in the presidents plurality
in this section was less than North
Dakota politicians normally expect
for anti-Nonpartisan league cardi-
dates, apd the final plurality of the
president of over 10000 is double that
generally predicted. The later vote
tabulations show surprising strength
for the President. Both LaFollette
and Johnson failed to make gains in
the late rural vote expected for them.

Avery interesting affair is being staged for the
slection in 1928. Notwithstanding the withdraw
Il of the name of Fred Golfer as candidate in the
democratic primaries against Congressman Hay
len, none of the unfriendly feeling against Hay
len was withdrawn by Governor Hunt and his
snt-pact followers. Both Hayden and Hunt have
heir eye on Senator Cameron seat in the u. S.

pretty well settled in the election this fall, but
sven in event of his defeat for the governorship,
md it looks as though Heard had that pretty well
settled at this early stage of the game Hunt will

LOOKS TO HISTORY
FOR FINAL JUSTICE
Cox Declares Names of Wilson and
Lincoln Will Be Linked
in Future.

By the Associated Press.
DAYTON, Ohio. February 4.-Jomes
NJ. Cox. democratic candidate for
President in 1920, and former Ohio
governor paid the following tribute
to former President Wilson:
Part of Woodrow Wilson's CO.
temporaries did not understand him.
but history will. He devoted himself
to the mass rather than the individ-
ual. Principles more than persons
interested him. His labors in behalf
of the public welfare were SO in
tensive that he seemed to some re-
elusive. He sought the cloistered re-
treat because he was weaving the
fabric of a sublime enterprise. He
lived in time when issues were 4
challenger to giants. He knew the
history of great movements and of
great men. He knew that great
truths had always triumphed when
those battling for them had followed
the straight path.
When the records of time are
made up 1t will be found written that
without Wilson. no one was able to
carry his concept of right into the
covenant of peace. This will be the
greatest tribute to his character and
his genius. In profound ability,
singlenesS of purpose and courageous
loyalty to principle. he was Il COM
poSite of Jefferson and Lincoln. Chill
dren of the future will speak of him
and Lincoln together as our two
greatest Presidents. Both gave their
lives for human liberty and happi-
ness, and both are certain of that
when the peoples of the earth are no
more"

COURTS RECESS
OUT OF RESPECT
Adjourn Today and Will Do
Likewise on Day of VIII
son Funeral.

The District Court Of Appeals ana
the various branches of the District
Supreme Court today adjourned until
tomorrow morning out of respect to
the memory of Woodrow Wilson,
who was admitted to the bar of the
court about three years ago. The
courts also announced that an ad-
tournament would lie taken on the
day of the funeral.
j. Holdsworth Gordon, one Of the
oldest members of the bar and a
President made the announcement
of the death as soon as the court
convened Mr. Gordon said: cit is
my sad duty to announce to the
court the great sorrow that has come
to the American people. in the death
OF the distinguished eX-President of
the United States. 1t is impossible,
because of my great admiration for
him, to express my feelings and the
his death. l move that the court
stand adjourned out of respect to his
memory"
In granting the motion and directing
the adjournment, Chief Justice Smyth
said:
The court learns with profoundest
sorrow of the death of the distin-
Guished statesman Woodrow Wilson,
and as mark of respect to his mem
ory will stand adjourned until tomor-
row morning"
Justices Hold Meeting.
The justices of the District Supreme
Court met in general session this MORN
Ing and We're advised by United States
Attorney Peyton Gordon of the death
OF Mr.. Wilson. Maj. Gordon said:
Your honors, it is with profound
o. Woodrow Wilson. former President
OF the United States and a member of
this bar. | move that this court in all
its branches stand adjourned today
and again on the date of his funeral"
Chief Justice Mccoy, speaking for
the court, said: There is nothing that
We can say. Less than three years
practice in this court. His act of
seeking admission was a demonStra-
1ion of the qualities We knew he pos
scSsed. namely, he would not lead a
useless life. We believed and he
hoped that he would be able to ap-
pear as an attorney in this court,
and We knew with what loyalty he
before us. and it would have been
our good fortune to have had him
% so. His conception of the duty
OF an attorney was like his concep-
ton of any other public service, and
we know that he would never have
urged anything that he would not
have believed. and his eloquence
words, but eloquence of thought be-
hind them. With deep sorrow the
court will now adjourn out of respect
to his great memory"

unusually adequate expressions in all
shades of the press.
Few men of the little group which
drew up and signed the treaty of
Versailles commanded such world
wide respect, and tributes appearing
today leave no doubt that Wilson's
honor remains higher in Great Britain
now than even during this triumphant
visit in 1918: Underlying the very
real expressions of sorrow at his
death, however, there appears much
speculation as to the reaction i'm
pending upon public opinion in the
united states toward European af-
fairs.
Will Americas sorrow, it is asked,
bring her to any new appreciation of
Wilson's foreign policy? British
statesmen as we'll as those of other
countries fervently desired Wilson's
success IN drawing America into the
league of nations. Since his failure,
after his return from Europe. that
nope has remained indelibly i'm
pressed on every mind.
Needs AmerIcn's Help.
Public attention is again turned
upon the dramatic crisis in the long
drawn-out controversy over repara-
tions in which Great Britain will
take leading part in securing mod
crate terms for Germany In this
final effort she will need America s
help and 1t is only natural that Will
sons death should arouse optimistic
belief In the possibility of America 8
entrance into European affairs
Prime Minister Macdonald expects
to secure early admission of soviet
Russia into the league, followed by
the admission of Germany upon final
completion of her internal reforms.
With these things accomplished there
would remain only the final drive for
American participation.
II Wilson's death proves the turn
ing point in American affairs, fol-
lowed by qualified entry into the
league of nations. Europe will i'm
mortalize his memory.
