nated the late senator's son, Robert
M. Jr, to fill his father's seat in the
senate. The young man piled up an
impressive majority over the combined
votes of his three rivals, Wileox,
Woodward and McGovern. Despite
this his success at the special elec.
tion on September 20 is not assured,
for Roy Wilcox, backed by the anti
La Follette faction of the party, is
out as an Independent candidate, and
there are others. The Democrats went
to sleep and their only candidate, Wil-
liam George Bruce, falled to receive
the required 5 per cent of the Demo-
cratic vote of last fall. He, too, how-
ever, Is running as an Independent.
John M., Work is the Socialist nominee
and George Bauman the Soclalist-La-
bor candidate. Among other possible
candidates are Arthur Barry, who
favors light wines and beer, and E. ¥.

that probably would happen if it de

of the British contention. The Turks
assert that they are not bound by their
promise of last year to abide by the
decision, because conditiong have
changed. It was proposed in the as-
sembly to give the disputed territory
to Great Britain on condition that it
accepted a twenty-five-year mandate
over Irak. The Turks maintain the
league's duty is to draw the boun-
daries without conditions. President
Mustapha Kemal apparently is pre
pared for armed action if the case
goes against Turkey, for he has con.

the disputed frontier; but the British
authorities profees not to be worried
