Two Senate Possibilities

Two of the representatives are rated as possible choices for Longs f seat. John N. Sandlin has been the leader of the anti-Long bloc in Washington and distributor of fed eral money in Louisiana. He's 52 a former prosecutor and state dis trict judge.
 Ironically enough, Long wa. partly responsible for Sandlin being in congress. Elected in 1921, Sand. lin was about ready to retire when Huey came into power. But Huey helped persuade Sandlin to seek re- election-not that he loved Sandlin more, but that he loved Sandlin's opponent less.
 J. Y. Sanders, IT,, is the other senate candidate possibility. He and his father were bitter foes of the Kingfish. Young Saunders is a cap able congressman and his father a strong old-line politician, former governor, and congressman.
 There lies one chance for dissen- sion among the antis. Sanders may decide to make the race against Sandlin or he may choose to con- test the governor nomination with Dare.

been ambition for political ad- vancement and a desire to be may or of New Orleans.
 His political future, because of his action, is hay. He failed to gain popular approval and was generally regarded as a traitor to Mayor Walmsley.
 Walmsley stood pat against Long. He is still the mayor, but without an organization unless there are peace terms in the future. Walms- ley has gained much political and personal prestige because of his re- fusal to surrender to Long. AL though never tremendously popu- lar, he may cut strong figure in reorganization plans.

I
 Washington, Sept. 24-With war headlines screaming at them every day, the peace societies are redoub- ling their efforts.
 The campaign of the National Council for the Prevention of War to raise a million dollars to propa- gate peace is only one of several. There Is World Peaceways, for in- stance, whose work is looking up these perilous days.
 People who ignore peace work for years will suddenly step up to the bat with a check when the | troops are about ready to march.
 There are two interesting de- velopments in the peace move ment, however. One is the way the churches are taking it up, par ticularly the evangelical denomin- ations, which used to be so hot for prohibition.
 By Armistice Day the Methodist, Baptist, Congregational, and Chris l tian churches will have completed 8 member-by-member canvass to determine the attitude of their members toward war under vary ing circumstances.
 The energy that used to go into fighting the demon rum is now being turned against Mars, and the nti-Sa1oon Leagues loss is the pacifist societies gain.
 The other development is the fact that the National Council for the Prevention of War is prepar- ing to go direct to town in the coming congressional elections, or- ganizing by precinct, ward, and district to defeat candidates who won't subscribe to their peace pro- gram. This is the old Anti-Saloon League technique right back again, and presents one more litter for candidates for Congress.

It's Tough Shedding

Educating for peace is like all educating-discouraging work at times. The Quaker Frederick J. Libby of the NCPW ran smack into this one during a poll being taken at the Rochester State Fair recently.
 The question was Shall the United States join the League of Nations on terms of the Pope res- olution, which provides that we shall not be obliged to use armed force to support the league e?" The author of this plan is, of course, Senator Pope of Idaho, currently in Europe and sounding off after each days crisis.
 Two questionnaire answerers had evidently nuever heard of the senator. One answered, "No, l won't vote. I don't see any req son for bringing the Pope into this." The other opined, "I think the Pope's judgment is very good"

Stanley Has Strength

Another name to conjure with is that of former District Attorney Eugene Stanley, forced out of office by Long. Stanley is ambitious. He wants to be mayor, governor or senator and his unblemished record of honesty and efficiency in office are attributes which cannot be ov- erlooked.

Need a Wayne Wheeler

This peace action" program is so reminiscent of the days when Wayne Wheeler had half of Con- gress jumping through his hoop that one wonders whether just such a forceful leader may arise in the interests of peace.
 The youthful Senator Holt is about to stump the country for peace, and arrangements are be- ing made to stage demonstrations next spring just before the party conventions that can hardly fail to influence the party platforms that will be in the making then.

Baker Still AdrOit

Newton D. Baker, has lost neith- CT his adroitness nor his courtli- ness since retiring from public of flee. At a recent meeting here of commission of the American Council on Education to study and make recommendation on better program for youth, Baker was ap- preached by exporters for a state ment.
 He demurred, protesting, eff you want to talk to someone really dis tinguished, you'd better talk to Mrs. Fisher"
 He referred to Dorothyg Garfield Fisher, author of "The Bent Twig. "The Brimming Cup" and many other novels, who is the latest Ii, terary light to turn to public ser vice by asserting that she is will ling to give. all her time to the work of this commission if neces. Sary.

Old Regulars in Fight

The part that the Old Regular organization in New Orleans will play in the fight is problematical. With the exception of Mayor T. Smemes Walmsley, Commissioner of Public Utilities Fred A. Ear hart, and few lesser lights, the entire Old Regular organization capitulated to Long about month before his death.
 Previous to the entrance of Long in state politics, the Old Regular combine was the dominating politi- cal factor.
 While the Old Regulars under Commissioner of Finance A. Miles Pratt went over to Long, 1t was an open secret that they did so under coercion and many leaders openly expressed their contempt for Long. Pratt's motive was said to have

With the one letter for Roddy
which Tillie Fink thrust out to her
through the wicket, Silver rode
slowly home, unsaddled Rusty and
turned him into his stall. Then she
went reluctantly to the big house to
give Roddy his letter. She had con-
trived to see as little as possible of
Roddy since the night of the har-
vest dance. Now this wretched fear
for Corinne would simply double
her discomfort in the presence of
Roddy and his wife.
Corinne called to her from the
living room in a voice that seemed
to Silver to be portentously vivifed
and gay.
"You missed a swell time last
night my dear!" Corinne cried as
Silver stepped into the room.
Roddy looked up a bit YEARLY.
He lifted his hand toward her in
greeting.
"It must have been fun" Silver
said hurriedly. Here's a letter for
you, Roddy."
He got up and took the letter.
Corinne at once sprang up and
stood at his shoulder, her eyes upon
the unfolded sheet.
Then she uttered squeal of joy.
''Roddy! A position at the Univer-
sity farm! Darling!"
Roddy glanced down again, not
without pleasure, at the letter. His

Silver felt that she had frozen in
to her chair. It was only with a
supreme effort that she got up and
fed from the room, Corinne's voice

with outrage at Roddy.

Beckwith Proposed .
 For Agent Position
LtChfieId County to Witness Tilt for State Appoints
 ment-HOgan Mentioned for HonOrs

Captain Sutherland Beckwith of Litchfield is the secon done to be prominently mentioned as the pos- sible democratic successor to Ray mond F. Gates as state agent in the event that the latter's resigna- ton is accepted by Governor Will bur L. Cross. Last week the name of Senator Francis w. Hogan of Torrington was heard on all sides. Gates, whose term expires July 1st. has rendered his resignation to the governor but it has not been ac- cepted as yet with the result that rumors are current that he may be reappointed although he is a re- publican.
 Both Captain Beckwith and Senator Hogan are we'll known in Waterbury. They are both recog- nized democratic leaders of Litch- field county. Captain Beckwith was the democratic candidate for the office of high sheriff of Litchfield county in the election of last No vember. He was defeated by the republican incumbent, High Sheriff Frank Turkington but his vote was a large one.
 Republican Named
 The governor has already ap- pointed one republican to an im- portant state post. The week be- fore last he renamed John A. Mac don aid head of the state highway department. The post of state agent is considered very impor- tant one.
 It will be even more important if the present old age pension act, as 1t Is now set up, goes through the house and senate. The bill pro- vides that the administration of old age pension funds shall be in the hands of the state agent. It also extends the term of office of the state agent from four to six years. Governor Cross is understood to be agreeable to this sort of set up but is not giving out any infor- nation as to who he will pick for the state agents post.
