Tho department of justice an
nounces that it is not taking any

J. F. McMurray, an Oklahoma
lawyer, has, written to the members
of congress denying that he ever
made any overtures to Senator Gore
or to any other public official and
asking for the opportunity to make
a statement.
John W. Daniel, senior senator
from Virginia, died -at Lynchburg
June 29. He had been ill since last
October. He was the oldest demo
crat in the senate in .point of ser
vice. He was a major in the con
federate army.
Richmond dispatches say that in
due time Governor Mann will appoint
former Governor Swanson to fill out
the unexpired term of the late Sen
ator Daniel. Mr. Swanson would
serve until January 1912.
It now develops that in appointing
a committee to investigate Senator
Gore's charges of attempted bribery
no provision was made for paying
expenses of tho investigation. As a
result it is probable that nothing will
be done until congress meets again
in December.
this year to successfully defeat the
direct primary bill which had passed
the house. Tho defeat of Mr. Lodge
and the termination of this machine
will tend more than anything else
to party success not only in the sen
ate, but in the nation. It will re
store confidence in the republican
management by divorcing the legisla
ture lobby from the political ma
chine and by defeating a public offi
cial who has so long served the pri
vate interests rather than the public
good.' Mr. Ames says he expects
Lodge men will try to prevent pledg
ing of candidates in the hope that
they may be controlled later. To
prevent that he says he will try to
compel every candidate in Massachu
setts at the coming elections to
pledge himself to the issue he has
raised."

Now is Senator Lodge's time for
trouble. A Washington dispatch
says: "Representative Butler Ames
o Massachusetts publicly announced
his candidacy for the United States
senate in a formal statement em
bodying an exceptionally bitter at
tack upon Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. Mr. Ames in his statement
says he becomes a candidate after
having failed to induce anyone else
to take up the fight against Boss
louge and his political machine.
These are some of the thincs Mr.
Ames says of the senator and what
he ascribes as the Lodge machine.
This machine, backed by all the
large corporations and all the state
and federal patronage at his com
mand, has for many years been a
ready and efllclent tool to crush out
all political ambitions, endeavors and"
opinions not sanctioned by Mr.
liouge. his orders have gone out to
crush not only for his own political
end, but to advance the selfish
schemes of tho large railroads, bank
ing and manufacturing interests he
serves in the halls of congress as
well as in the Massachusetts legis
lature. It is reported that in his
present extremity, fearing to seek re
election on his lone nublic record
in congress and in the state, his one
nope is that Mr. Roosevelt, may cre
ate new confidence in his behalf by
speaking for him as an old friend.
It is hard to believe that the former
president would lend himself to the
political support of one, even though
a friend, who has consistently vio
lated all tho moral teachings of
which ho Is the great exponent. With
direct primaries it is universally ad
mitted that Mr. Lodge would have
no possible chance of re-election. The
Lodge machine and lobby workod in
the senate (Massachusetts') again
Speaking to a representative of
the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal, Sen
ator Cummins said: "Every repub
lican congressman need not be
ashamed to face his constituents and
stand on the record made by con
gress. The railroad bill as finally
passed suits me entirely. I believe
it is a movement forward. On the
statehood and conservation bills
there were practically no fights.
Everybody wanted them. I do not
want to'be understood as saying that
the administration is entitled to all
the credit. The administration de
serves some credit, and so do the
progressives. There is glory enough
fQr all." He declared that in his
belief the postal savings bank bill
passed by congress was only passed
after assurances had' been given to
New England bankers that ho postal
savings banks would be located in
that section of the country. "The one
real bad piece of legislation is the
postal savings bank act," said the
senator. "There are, three strong ob
jections to it, any one of which, I
think, are sufficient to have caused
its defeat. I believe that as time
goes on the bill will lose what
friends it has. It means, in my
opinion, constant warfare among
communities to prevent the estab
lishment of these banks in their
cities."

MR. BRYAN AND OHIO
Says the Waterloo Times-Tribune:
"Mr. Bryan's influence is recognized.
His right to be consulted, in view of
his three times leadership, is grant
ed, But his right to threaten Gov
ernor Harmon and to tell, him point
blank that if Ohio does not endorse
his senatorial nomination plan, Gov
ernor Harmon shall not be a na
tional leader, is challenged. Mr.
Bryan has no justice on his side in
this. He can not say Harmon shall
surrender his right and class as a
national figure if tho democrats of
unio ao not ao as he wishes. Such
spirit is not the spirit of democracy;
such spirit does not appeal to the
great majority of democrats. Ohio
democrats have shown that they will
not tolerate it and Nebraska demo
crats have shown the same spirit
within the past few weeks. We pre
sume there may be some feeling now,
between Mr. Bryan and some Ohio
democrats, but it can not develop in-
