Back to Ohio-where it hasn't been
since 1886 goes the G. 0. p. Tor Ma
tional Committee chairman. Whether
Simeon Tess, who inherits the mantle
of Claudius Huston, will scintfllate IN
the lob as Mark Hanna did, genera
ton ago, is a matter On which opinions
differ. With Tess as national chair
man. Mutt of Cleveland as national
treasurer and Postmaster General
Brown of Toledo as the cabinet poll
tician. there's coming to be the bit OF
an "Ohio gang" in the party affairs OF
the Hoover administration. Senator
Tess is no tyro in national campaign
management. He had just completed
three successive terms Q9l8, 1920 ana
1927 as chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee:
being then a member of the House OF
representatives when he entered the
senate in 1923. To him fell credit for
the bumper majorities the G. o. p. won
in the lower branch in 1918 and 1870:
In 1922, as invariably happens IN on
years, the Republicans slumped-as
they're doomed to do in 1880. For a
schoolmaster on the verge OF 20, Tess Is
capable of generating an amazing
voltage Of pep His real job is TO pave
the way for Hoover denomination two
wears hence. Moses, Steiwer and WOOD
will bear the brunt of this years con-
gressional contest.
George Higgins Moses has his enc
mics and detractors within his party's
ranks-who hasn't?--but there never
was any concerted intention, or serious
thought. of ousting him from the Re-
publican senatorial campaign chair
manship. The senior Senator from
New Hampshire has the defects OF his
SSsH toll
for cynical expression. But his pollt-
ical gifts far outweigh his deficiencies.
His hair-trigger mentality has few
peers in either party. His background
of culture and travel makes him almost
the scholar in politics. He Is one OF
the few men in Congress who are
capable of thinking beyond the IL
mile limit, because Of his one-time resi-
dence and frequent meanderings
abroad. Moses possesses one attribute
that Is probably both an asset and q
liability in political life. He never
ladies out apple sauce. Calling spades
spades is his speciality. He can sense
Impending victory or defeat with al
most unerring eye, and trims his SAILS
accordingly.
W. Cameron Forbes of Boston, newly
appointed United States Ambassador
to Japan, has just completed series
of conferences in Washington WIN
President Hoover and State Department
officials. He will sail for Toxic on the
S. 8. President Taft from San Francis
co on August 90, timing his arrival IN
Japan for the return to the imperial
capital of the Emperor, an annual
event which formally inapgurates the
official and diplomatic season" Nip
pom is not strange territory for Cam
Forbes. He's been there on 10 diff
ferent occasions and has many friend
ships in influential circles. japanese
are reported to have only one regret
about President Hoover's choice OF q
Toxic envoy--Forbes is q bachelor.
He'll be the first Yankee Ambassador
TO occupy our splendiferous new ST.
000 900 embassy in Japan.

It's in Kentucky where It's said that
the corn is full of kernels and the Colo
nels full of corn. There's just been
held at the Department of Agriculture
in Washington a hearing designed to
establish that corn is chock-ful OF
sugar, too. Urgent representations to
that effect were put forth by William
@. Holt Kansas City lawyer who repre-
scented the Corn Products Refining Co.
of the Southwest metropolis. He told
Secretary Hyde, fellow Kansas Gillian,
