series of bomb outrages was climaxed
by the bombing of the
ator Charles S. Deneen, leader of
faction opposing the Small-Thompson
Crowe crowd, and of Judge Swanson,
running against Crowe for the state's
attorneyship nomination. Each fac

and the authorities up to the time of
writing have failed to find the perpe

Unprejudiced observers are convinced
that the struggle between rival gangs

Lowden ‘was indorsed by the Mis
souri state convention, and was as-
sured of 21 of Minnesota's 27 votes:
while Hoover was pledged the sup
port of the Maine delegation. Wat.
son's fight on Hoover In Indiana was
becoming wely lively, the senator es
pecially attacking the secretary's attl-
tude on international issues. It had
been believed Hoover would be unop
posed in New Jersey, but Lowden hus
now entered the primaries in that
state. Hoover's board of strategy has
estimated that the secretary lacks only
60 votes to Insure his nomination, and
if that is true it is apparent that Mel.
lon, controlling the Pennsylvania dele
gation, controls the situation.
On the Democratic side the Califor.
nia primaries attract attention, for the
fight there Is three-gided, Smith,
Walsh and Reed all being contenders.
It had been hoped there would. be a
clean-cut contest between Smith and
Walsh io South Dakata, but the state
Democratic leaders, for local reasons,
have prevented this. Dry Democrats
of the South assert that the only
southern delegations that Smith can
get In southern states are those of Ar
kansas and Louisiana. In Arizona the
state central committee appointed
twelve delegates, aninstructed, but It
wus sald they were favorable to the
Smith candidacy.

ITHOUT a dissenting vote the
senate passed the revised Jones
bill authorizing the expenditure of
$325. 000,000 for flood control on the
lower Mississippt river. The measure
does not entirely meet the views of
President Coolldge. While it declares
for the retention of the principle of
local contribution for flood works, it
expressly relieves local interests of
further contributions toward this par
ticular project. Neither is there any
mention of an commission
to study the financial condition of the
people along the lower Mississippi, as
recommended by the President. Ip
all other respects Mr. Coolidge likes
it better than the Reed plan approved
by the house committee. -
The Jones bill, as passed by the
senate, recoguizes the principle of lo
cal contributions but asserts
thut the previous expenditure of $200.
