ELECTION FUND
PR0BERS BUSY
IN MICHIGAN

Irregularity charges from four
States busted the Senate special
campaign expenditures committee
today, as members sought
friendly settlement of a dispute
in Michigan.
Unless managers for WILDER M.
Brucker. seeking the Republican
Senatorial nomination against
Senator James Couzens, throw
open their books to investigators,
the committee chairman, Senator
Lonergan CD of Connecticut,
warned that subpoenaS will be
issued and hearings called.
Fund to Beat COuzens
Charges that a $3,000,000 cam
paign fund was being raised in
Michigan brought about the in
veStigation and the committee in
vestigator, Louis r. CLAWS, re-
ported that Brucker's managers
refused to allow him to go into
the, campaign books. Brucker
and his aides denied this and
wired Lonergan they would give
CLAWS all the information he
wanted.
The committee awaits an answer
to its telegram specifically asking
permission for CLAWS to examine
campaign expenditure books held
by the Brucker managers. If this
is forthcoming, the Michigan hear
ing may be avoided. All other
candidates, the committee an
nounced, gladly permitted the in
veStigatorS to go through their &C
counts.
Maine Money Flood
While the Michigan situation
moved toward a head, committee
agents were busy in Pennsylvania
and Maine, and experts here Sifted
data collected in Texas.
Figures for Maine have already
been released, showing five of the
Nations wealthiest families as
chief contributors in the Republi-
can campaign there. The du Points,
the ,RockefellerS, the ArchboldS,
the MorganS and the Sloans have
poured $50,60O into Maine, the
figures showed.
Committee officials said today
that investigators we're now busy
checking up on Democratic expen-
ditures in Maine, and that these
will be released in the near future.
Pennsylvania Coercion
A hearing on Pennsylvania
charges of coercion and intimi-
dation has been tentatively sched-
uled. David Lawrence, secretary
of State and chairman Of the
Pennsylvania State Republican
committee, presented evidence pur-
porting to show intimidation and
coercion in Beaver and Allegheny
counties. This was followed by
committee investigation on the
ground, and the decision to hold
public hearings.

note how different sources of in

disease. In one part of the country
for the last 1872 head tested only
percent were found to have the di-
sease md yet the persons in whose
herds the disease was found had
quite often in several cases secured
the animals from certain locality
In another part of the county where
diseased animals were brought in
and mingled with others some years
ago as high as 26 percent of the cat
tie were found to be infected.

worked nearly a month in the west

given Yakima and Klickitat coun-
ties exclusively. Since the middle OF
this month no Bangs testing has
been done in this county and there
will be no more until DR.. Marvin E

NEEDN'T TELL
AGE NOW IN
REGISTERING
New Forms Ask Question in
Much More Subtle Manner;
All Urban Residents Must
Sign New Cards

While there never was any real
fun in the matter, it was sometimes
amusing to watch how people react
ed when they were asked their ages
by the registration officers. Now
even that slight amusement has
been taken away, for no longer is it
necessary to confide in clerk how
old you claim to be- The question is
asked, on the new permanent regis
tration like this: "Will you be
tWenty-one years of age on the day
of the next election?" Easy, simple
and the embarrassing angle is all
out. - 49,.
The new books" for the precincts
outside the incorporated limits
opened today. Two citizens have
already enrolled their names and
will be entitled to all the privileges
for which our forefathers "fit, bled
and died" The books" are no long
er books. They are cards, three of
them, all which must be signed by
the prospective voter.
One of the cards will be kept on
file at the state house, one at the
county seat and the other, in the
form of a loose leaf file, will be
toted around for the use of the cleo
ton officials when and wherever an
election is imminent. t~eE
Everyone living outside an incor-
porated city is required to re-regist-
er before next voting time. The
books are kept at the printing Of
flee for the precincts outside the
limits of Kennewick, including the
two additional ones of Finley and
Hover. Voters may register here at
any time from now on. The new
registrations are permanent if the
voter keeps it alive by appearing
at least one election in every two
years, or unless change of resi-
dence also changes the precinct.
