nine of them have had previous leg
islative experience, either in the Sen

the exception of Senators Alexander,
ightsey, McCutcheon, Miller, Pearce,
Watkins and Wideman, but many of
these have heen wvatch ing legislation
for years andl know what they are
doing.

The first resolution b~y the General
A esenmbly in the Senate was an en

Governor Allen who spent tei

censorship charging that it "becam

sorship in Germany, lacking only th
German intelligence.
"On September 25 the Thirty-fift]

said Governor Allen. "By noon th

The Governor declared that ther

"Yet our army paid .x400 ereb fo

Gov.ernor Allen declared that th

the Democratic national committee
nd it is understood that he is under
consideration for appointment as
American ambassador to France to
succeed Wm. Graves Sharp. Mr.
Sharp's resignation, it said, is now in
the hands of the President, but no
announcement of the fact has been

The fact that Mr. AleCormick had

the chairman of the war trade board,
a position to which he was appointed
last year.
Oflicials at the White House de
clined to discuss the report that Mr.
Sharp would return home to he sue
eceded by Mr. McCormick, but it
seems to have credence in other of
ticial circles. Mr. Sharp was under
stood to have desired for some time
to return to this country for a rest
after his arduous duties as the.Amer
ican representative at the French
capital duin g the long years of war.

Ohio, was appointed ambassador to
France on .June 12, 1914, and resigned
from Congress to accept the post. Re.
cently he was callel home by the
illness of his brother and is now in
the United States, although it is
understood that he expects to return
