something 10 think about here.
The committee is said to be divided
about as follows: Ferguson % mem
bers, Moody Z, Davidson /.
Some of those interested advanced
the theory that the Terrell election
law prohibits any candidate from
contributing to the campaign fund
Of any other candidate. and they
point out that Moody's campaign ac-
count filed with the secretary of
state shows that such contributions
had been made.
Several Dallas attorneys who in
vestigated the Terrell election law,
as it appears in the recent codifica-
tion, have been unable TO find the
section prohibiting contributions
from one candidate TO another, but
a number Of politicians recalled that
such provision was contained in
the original law.
In the event of refusal by the
committee to certify a name, there
are several courses Of action open 70

open to a mandamus proceeding. The

partments during the next fiscal year
There are certain groups demanding
special session of Congress and one
way to have their demands enforced
is to prevent the passage of fiscal leg
islation which would necessitate the
President calling a special session OF
the new Congress in the spring.
The demands of the cotton planters
for Congressional action ito relieve the
distress in their localities is not with
out considerable political significance
The prophecy is made that the South
ern groups that have hitherto lacked
interestin farm Legislation would join
with the others from the Mid West
and West and insist upon bill along
the terms of the McNary-Haugen bill
which was SUCCESSFULLY blocked by the
administration last winter. Unless
there is marked change in the eco
nomic conditions of the farmers be-
tween now and December, it is rea-
sonable to believe that the admins
tration will oppose general farm re-
Lief measures. Both parties are con-
centrating in the agricultural regions
in order to make political capital out
of the farmers real or imaginary
plight. Agricultural problems have
long been the football of politics.
The concerns of opinion among
political writers is TO the effect that
attempts to make a national issue of
the tariff have failed. In the major
ity of Congressional districts voters
at mass meetings are demanding de-
finite pledges on local issues and
are not lightly put aside by easily
.phrased platforms of the national
parties. 1t is said that in many dis
tricts the personality of the candi-
date is playing a more important part
in the contest than party platforms.
AS every voter knows, it is easy ito
suggest remedies and very difficult to
enforce them. The political rally
speakers will not let the tariff issue
be sidetracked.
1t is noticeable, however, that
there have been no partisan attacks
on the proposals to give the agricul-
tural interests higher tariff. Also
it Lhais been observed that care has
been taken by those who are attack

lection given to industries or other
interests in sections in which candi-
dates who are assailing the tariff re-
side.
One OF the chief disputes raised
about the tariff comes from within
the Tariff Commission. Commission
eff, Marvin, a Republican, who re-
Gently has returned from European
trip, has given his approval to the
tariff as it has affected foreign in
terests. He has particularly referred
to the operation of the so-called flex-
iblep rovisions. But hardly had Mr..
Marvin uttered his words of approx
al when his colleague, Commissioner
Costigan, a Democrat, also just re-
turned from "trip in Europe, con-
dennis the flexible provisions.

The reopening of the slush fund in

many quarters that continuance of the
Senate inquiry may change the pre-
sent political dope. The report of
the Special Investigating Committee
headed by Senator Jim Reed, Demo

great interest because it will uncover
an opportunity that politicians love,
that is to talk glibly of graft, cor

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Oct. 90 It is freely
predicted in Washington that the
short and final session of the 69th
Congress will be marked by turmoil
and partisan strife. Reports show
that considerable ill-feeling has been
engendered by Senators and Con-
gressmen breaking party lines in
many localities in order TO carry out
their personal convictions. With the
people dwelling convictions. With the
ballot box the first Tuesday in No
vember, the so-called 'slame- duck
brigade or the present incumbents
turned down by the constituents in
November may be expected to listen
more readily to proposals for alliances
with other groups. The result of
these new aligments would be discord
and uncertainty as ito the disposition
of legislation which is either pending
or will be presented to the Congress
in December.
Vice President Dawes has projesct-
ed himself into the limelight with a
discussion of the evils of THE primarily
system. 1t was obviously calculated
to draw fire from Senators and other
public men and in this respect Gen
eral Dawes has not been diSappoint-
ed. Nobody doubts that the question
of the primary and convention sys-
tenn for the selection of party candi-
dates for Federal office will play a
large part i'm the debates in the Sen
ate and House this winter.
Senator Norris, so-called Progress
ssive Republican from Nebraska, has
announced his intention Ito campaign
against the regular Republican candi-
date for the Senate in Pennsylvania.
He has persisted in this attitude de-
spite overtures from party leaders
showing the need for having a Re-
publican elected from that state in
order that the party now in control
may maintain its balance of power.
In Oregon, Senator Stanfield who
failed Ito win the nomination for Re-
publican candidate for the Senate, has
refused to heed the frantic appeals of
Senator Phipps of Colorado, the
Chairman of the Republican Senator
ial Campaign Committee, to withdraw.
The fact that number of Republi-
can members of the Senate approved
the independent candidates attitude
shows that the influence of campaign
managers is waning.
AT this writing there is some talk
in official circles here that little legis-
lation of partisan importance may be
expected at the next session due to
organized filibusters. The time of
CONGRESS- eSneciallv the Ho11sn will
be taken up during the first few
weeks with appropriation bills for, the

Pennsylvania. too. may surprise
both her friends and rowing enthu-
