LaFollette, an opponent of embargo
repeal, described the suggested cleo
ton as purely advisory and not bind
ing on Congress- He told neWsmen
the only case in which such an ad-
visory test of public sentiment would
not be required would be in the
event Of a threatened attack on this
country, or by a non-American coun-
try on any nation in this hemisphere.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment was similar to one previously
introduced by Representative Lud-
low, Democrat, Indiana, which was
opposed by the administration and
rejected by the House.
The new speech-making upset CAL
culatiOns for a quick vote. Although
expressing hope that the House
would uphold the embargo, Senator
Nye, Republican, North Dakota,
agreed with Democratic Leader Bark
ley that the Senate's decision would
come late this afternoon or tomorrow,
and added that repeal would get from
SIS to 60 votes.

way behind in the first primary 1t
made the second successive election
IN which the incumbent was defeat
ed, as Wade had pushed j. A. Hart
ness out OF office in the 1882 voting
1t is almost incOnceivable that this
plum will be passed up without some
ones taking chance. Wade has a
Federal job and isn't likely to try
comeback, but others will no doubt
make the race.
Commissioner of Agriculture: Kerr
Scott barely won over veteran Bill
Graham in 1886 and friends of the

every position he ever held has got
things done, but not always in a dip

soap or words. This race will be bit
ter from start to finish, but on his
record Scott will be a hard man to
beat
State Auditor: George Ross Pou
beat incumbent Baxter Durham four
years ago and doesn't appear to have
made any active enemies during his
present tenure of office AS former
head Of the State Prison and as
candidate for Congress from the
fourth district, however, Pou was
many times a real storm center. No
names have been named as likely to
oppose him, but somebody will pro-
badly come to the front before MANY
moons have passed.
superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton: Clyde Erwin won so easily and
cOnvincingly four years ago there
appears little danger of really formid
able opposition here, though Mrs.
Helen Wohl recently intimated she
might take shot at the job.

beyond the mere fact that running
for office is contagious disease like
ly to become a veritable epidemic at
almost any time. 1t is true because
prospective candidates for elective
statewide office know that their
chances Of success depend in large
measure upon the ability or inability
Of themselves and the other candid
ates to line up with a winning guber-
Material candidate; and where there
is a plethora Of gubernatorial as
prantS there is that much the less
chance that any Of them will be will
ing, or able even if willing to help
a coat-tail hanging candidate for an
other office
The effect of the main race upon
side shows was completely apparent
in the 1886 primary. In the first bal
loting, when the forces Of Governor
Clyde r. Hoey had all they could
possibly do to keep Mcdonald from
running away with the main prize,
Wilkins p Horton tralled Paul Grady
by many thousands for lieutenant
governor, and Thad Eure, for secre-
tary of state, was SO far behind
Stacey Wade that calling for a sec
ond primary looked slightly foolish
at the time.
But came the second primary and
it was altogether different. Horton,
in his own name, wasn't as popular
as Grady, but when he had the Hoey
help he went in quite handily as
lieutenant governor. Eure, a poor sec
ond to Wade as long as the Hoey
hands were tied, sailed into office
just like the tail into the sky on the
momentum of q kite.
