Inquiry Fails TO Show
West Virqinia Vote Fraud

Investigation of charges that hum
dreds of Washington residents were
voting illegally in West Virginia
through absentee ballots has failed
to substantiate the allegations,
Chairman Gillette of the Senate
Campaign Expenditures Committee
said today.
A check by committee investiga-
tors of a list of names of persons
living here, but voting in West Vir-
gina, indicated the persons listed
were bona fide residents of West
Virginia and as such, are probably
entitled to register and vote" Sen
ator Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa was
quoted as saying.
The inquiry was begun by the
Senate group October l6, when
Chairman Gillette announced 900
names for absentee ballots in JEFF
ferson County would be checked, as
well as others in Morgan and Berke-
ley Counties.
The complaints came to the COM
mittee from Wheeling, w. Va, and
Senator Gillette said last week they
included charges that in many pre-
cincts in the State, registration lists
greatly exceeded in number of voters
the total census returns for those
precincts, including aliens, children
and other non-voters.'

H. 6. Wells Attacks
On Britain AssaiIed
In Commons Again
Storhembere Also Comes
In for Criticism us
Tempers Flare Up
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Oct. 23.-War-frayed
tempers sputtered in the House Of
Commons today as H G. Wells, the
novelist. and Prince Ernest Rudiger
Won Starhemberg, former vice chan
cellor of Austria who is now serving
as a lieutenant in the Free French"
air force, became the targets of
bitter criticism.
Earl Winterton, conservative M P %.
assailed Mr.. Wells on the ground
that the author ''for years past has
suggested that the throne is a
medieval and useless institution, that
the Christian religion is superstition
and that the whole structure Of
society is rotten"
Mr.. Wells is now in the United
States.
Capt. Osbert Peake, Undersecre-
tary for Home Affairs, somewhat
lightened the excited atmosphere
of the Wells debate by quipping that
all agreed to the eminence of the
novelist, "at any rate in the world
Of fiction" and he added:

of America and we should not now
be having this debate had exit per-
mits been required when the May
flower left these shores in 1920"
Questions NOn-ActiOn.
Earl Winterton questioned the
wisdom of allowing Mr.. Wells ito
run down his country abroad-of
all places in the United States"
This was an evident reference
to Mr.. Wells recent assertion in
the United States that Foreign
Minister Lord Halifax should be
ousted from the government
Godfrey L. Mander, Laborite M.
p, asked whether Mr.. Wells would
be prosecuted. The question went
unanswered.
A government spokesman de-
clared
1T would be fatal if the idea got
about in America that we were only
going to permit to proceed to that
country those persons whose views
were favorable to the government.
I'VE must leave it to the good
sense of the American public to as
sess the value of Mr.. Wells views"
Starhemberg Assailed.
Col. Josiah WedgWood, Laborite,
asked if it was not indecent that
Prince Won Starhemberg, who as
sassinated democracy in Austria,
should now be allowed to fight on
our side and be paid by us in a
war for democracy"
Capt. Harold H. Balfour. under
secretary for air, replied: Any one
who is willing now to risk his life
and fight in our cause is entitled
to our gratitude
The House roared with cries of
"Order! Order!" as Mr.. Wedgwood
continued his TRADE, in which he
called the prince traitor and a
"scoundrel"
Emanuel Shinwell, Laborite, COM
mented: 1T is a great pity that
Wedgwood used so much vitupera-
tion in so poor a cause. We are
fighting for liberty, freedom and
democracy"

ABOARD WILLKIE SPECIAL
EN- ROUTE TO NEW YORK, Oct.
23.-Speeding back to New York
TO-DAY. Wendell Willkie waited for
an answer to the direct challenge
he hurled at President Roosevelt
in Chicago last night to compare
the record of his administration
with the platform on which he was
elected in 1882.
Standing on the same rostrum
from which Mr.. Roosevelt accepted
the Democratic platform of eight
years ago, Mr.. Willkie listed sew
eral planks he said were disre-
garded. Then he demanded that the
third term candidate" tell the peo-
pie at Philadelphia tonight "wheth-
er Wendell Willkie has falsified the
record"
Mr.. Willkie cited the 1882 pledges
to balance the budget, to abolish
useless Offices and commissions, to
preserve a sound currency, to pro-
mote the restoration of foreign
trade and the Presidents personal
promise to study tax reduction.
Charges Broken Promises
One by one. the Republican NOM
inee sought to show these promises
were not kept, and time after time
he paused to ask Mr. Roosevelt to
show tonight wherein Wendell
Willkie has falsified the record"
This was Mi WILKES answer to
the recent White House announce
ment that the President is begin
ming a series of political speeches to
correct falsifications from the other
side.
The scene in the Chicago Stadium
last night was one of the most dra-
matte in a history-making cam
paign. 1t was in this same audi
torium that the President was NOM
mated for third term three months
ago, and, as he looked out on a
cheering crowd of more than $4,000,
Mr.. Willkie did not overlook the op-
portunity to recall that event.

The selectee of 1910 will find less
crowded barracks than the soldiers
of 1917 and 1918. He will be warmer
in winter and cooler in summer.
But some veterans of the World
War will be rubbing their eyes as

uniforms worn by the 1910 Selectees.
Many, but not all, selectees will
receive uniform coats with the high

the days of the World War, when
leather was expensive, garrison belts
will not be issued to selectees. All
will wear overseas caps, and no
other hat will be supplied except
for steel helmets. The only missing
