IIH ERS OF MILLIONS ALLEGED BY TWO REPRESENTATIVES ; . ' content wits'll vote against the man in office. There can be no doubt that the Republican party generally has had things made easier for it by the rise in the prices of farm products. After the Indiana primary on May 2 the only other elections in May will be a primary for members of congress in Oregon and one in Pennsylvania for governor, the two senators, and all the members of congreus from that state. The Pennsylvania contest for the Republican nomination for governor has now come down to a straight fight between Gilford Pln-chand the recent .attorney general of the state. Alter, who is supported by what remains of the state Republican organization. For the Democratic nomination for governor there is only one candidate, MoSparran. With regard to the two senators the situation has crystallized in such a way that there is only one candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed Knox. This candidate is a comparatively young lawyer named Reed, who was a Junior member of the late Senator Knoxs Pittsburg law firm. For the filling out of Senator Penroses unexpired term there are two candidates, one of whom is the present Senator, George W. Pepper, who was appointed, to fill out the existing session until the coming election shall be held. , For each of the two Democratic nominations for senator there is but one candidate. No one, even atnong the local Democratic leaders of Pennsylvania, believes there is any possibility Of the Democrats electing a senator from that state. They think, however, that the contest for the Republican nomination for governor has Liken such a form and may lead to such feeling that the Democrats may have a chance in the. election in - U. S.

Washington. The American people were robbed of hundreds of millions of dollars through ' fraudulent contracts made by the government during the war, Representatives John, South Dakota, and Woodruff, Michigan (Reps.), charged in the house Tuesi day. They demanded a congressional investigation and prosecution of the guilty persons by the department of justice. They Introduced a Joint resolution calling for the appointment of a committee of fifteen members to probe all contracts made by the government Woodruff, in a during the war. speech, cited numerous specific instances where, he charged, the government had been defrauded of millions of dollars in war contracts. One of the biggest of the alleged illegal deals was the sale of (he stock of the Bosch Magneto company, seized by the alien property custodian during the war. Under this sale. Woodruff charged, the New York and Boston brokerage firm of Hornblower & Weeks profited to the extent of or more. : On December SI, 1919, Woodruff said, the capital stock of the Bosch Magneto company was sold by the alien property custodian to Martin E. Kern for $4,150,000. Kern was a close personal friend and client 'of Mr. IT.8!' (AT B,-- Pahiref, Alien todian at the time of the sale.) It appears that Mr. Kern was not an American citizen, but was of German birth and citizenship. It would seem that he also served three terms in prison In New York state for felony, and I hold in my hand copies of his photograph appearing in the rogues gallery in New York City. Apart from the fact that Kern was not an American citizen, his conviction of a felony would deprive him of his civil rights. The trading with the enemy act prohibits the sale of property to other than American citizens. The sale to Kern was In direct violation of the act No prosecutions have yet occurred. "Shortly after the property was sold to Kern a corporation called the American Bosch Magneto company was organized. One of the chief actors in these transactions was the firm of Homsblower & Weeks. It appears, from information obtained from reliable sources, that the profits realized by the firm of Hornblower & Weeks in this transaction was probably or more, and that the profits of Kern amounted to many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Woodruff displayed what he alleged were copies of letters which he said Keril lmd written from Europe recently In an effort to hush up agitation for prosecution in the Bosch Magneto company sale. Woodruff quoted one of thejetters as saying, Why dont Murray and all Interests take John W. Weeks to Daugherty and put a quietus on this Woodruff said, is the former president of the BosCh Magneto company. Following Woodruff, Johnson took the floor and also attacked alleged fraudulent war contracts and sales. Johnson charged that there is an invisible government In tne United States which' controls the real government elected by the people. County Auditor Resigns Salt - Lake. M. . L.

The next election to the party leaders now turn for light upon what the voters are thinking about will be the primary contest in Indiana on htay 2, between Senator New and Beveridge. This contest does not have any wet : versus diy angle, such as the congressional election in New Tork state had. Neither does it involve the bonus issue, wliich is attributed as partly accountable for the defeat of Congressman Ira Copely in Illinois. In fact, the Indiana contest is conspic-- , ' uous' for its lack of issues. The fight is largely one on the . personalities of the two men. Senator New has refrained from any great amount of electioneering. Except for occasional trips to Indiana, he has remained at Washington and ids . friends Lave regarded this as the bet- ter policy. During the next two weeks, however, it is expected that Senator New will spend most of the time on the ground. Beveridge has been active for many weeks, but his activity has taken the form of . speeches, largely nonpolitical in character, on the subject of John Marshall and constitutional government. It is generally believed that in Indiana, as everywhere else, a change in political feeling has been caused by the change in economic conditions - . affecting the farmer Three or four - . months ago, when the Indiana' contest first developed, the farmers were in a state of acute discontent and were, From AU Part of ARMED MEN RUSH CAR OF FREE 3TATE HEAD AND 8EEK TO KILL EXECUTIVE deals Which robbed taxpay-- , Pith; News Notes me corns LIFE E Indiana Will Hold Election May 2nd.
