WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

The beginning of the senate’s presidential campaign expenditure investigation disclosed, today that more than $400,000 has been spent in Governor Lowden’s campaign, most of it contributed by the governor and Mrs. Lowden and brought charges from a Democratic source that expenditures of the West and Harding forces in Ohio were a “scandal.” Today’s testimony disclosed that funds had been raised as follows: Senator Poindexter of Washington, $75,000; Senator Johnson of California, $70,000; Gov. Cox of Ohio, $22,000. —o— President Wilson today appealed to congress to grant him authority to accept a mandate for Armenia', urging it in “accordance with the wishes of the greatest of Christian peoples.” —o — More than a hundred organizations' and special interest groups maintain publicity headquarters in Washington, from which they bombard the press and members of congress with propaganda intended to influence public opinion and effect legislations. Despite assertions of house leaders that the soldiers’ bonus bill will be brought up Thursday for consideration there are well defined rumors the bill may be sidetracked this session.

TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TAUGHT MERIT

Nurse Praises Trutona Because She Knows It To Be Worthy Of Her Recommendation. . Muncie, Ind., May 24 —“l’d nevrecommend Trutona to the hundreds who know me if I was not thoroughly satisfied of its merits,’ says Mrs. Julia Cryer, a well-known Muncie Nurse, who lives at loZd South Franklin Street. - “I began using Trutona after 1 had suffered for ten years from indigestion. I had previously tried numberless medicines, bijit none of them helped me. Gas would form in my stomach after meals, and I d always feel bloated. I had to take a laxative every day or so. “I could tell Trutona was helping me after the first few doses. Now, no matter what I eat, I m not bothered with the gas formations or the bloating, and I don’t have to use laxatives any more. My kidneys have ceased to bother me at night, too.” . . “I have been nursing the sick for the past twenty years, and I know the effect of a medicine on a person. By this fact, I know Im safe in recommending Trutona, to my hundreds of friends. The Perfect Tonic is certainly well worthy of my unstinted praise.” Trutona is really a medicine of unusual merit. It is unsurpassed as a reconstructive agency, system purifier and body invigorant. Trutona has been declared peerless as a treatment for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. ’ Trutona is sold in Rensselaer at the Larsh & Hopkins’ drug store.

CHANCE FOR SEAT IS SMALL

INDIANA TO GET 271 SEATS AT NATIONAL CONVENTION-— , ILLINOIS FARES BEST. Chicago, May 25.—1 t will be about as easy for a rich man to get into heaven as it will be for an Indiana man to get ipto the republican national convention, Idiana will have 271 seats out of a total of 13,289. Of the 271 the thirty delegates will receive two each and the thirty alternates one each. This leaves 181 to be distributed by James -A. Hemenway, of Booneville, national committeeman for Indiana. Illinois Has the Picking. Illinois will fare best in the matter of seats. The Chicago committee on national convention will receive 2,500 and the state of Illinois about 600, or a total of about 3,100, not far from one-fourth of all the seats. —' ■ Indiana delegates to the republican national convention, which meets in the Coliseum, June 8, will be within good hearing distance of the speaker’s platform. Indiana has the thirteenth choice of seats.

Names of state and territories on slips of paper were put in a box, shaken up and drawn out by Chesley Searcy, chairman of the Kentucky state committee, and Lafayette Gleason, of New York, who will be secretary of the national convention. The thirteenth draw was Indiana. • Whether No. 13 carries ill luck with it may depend on the delegates themselves. The order of choice of seats for delegations, as a result of drawing by lot follows: Connects cut, 1; Arkansas, 2; North Dakota, 3; Colorado, 4; Virginia, 5; California, 6; Kansas, 7;. New York, 8; Penssylvania, 9; Onio, 10; Delaware, 11; Massachusetts, 12; Indiana, 13; Kentucky. 14; Mississippi, 15; Illinois, 16; Washington, 17; and so, on, ending with 53. Method of Ticket Distribution. Persons entitled to tickets will be notified by letter and they will be directed to present their letters to the national committeeman of their state when he reaches Chicago. The national committeemen will fill out and issue the tickets of admission. “Things will be different this year from what they were in past national conventions,” says Mr. Henley. “In the past methods were rather slipshod. This year all tickets will be issued to the national committeemen of the state and distributed by them. All orders of admission will be filled out by the national committeemen. “There is not going to be any underground railroad method of getting into the convention this year. In past it has been customary, for doorkeepers to admit friends from their states. Persons would sometimes get in on badges, them send the badges out to serve to admit more persons. Must Have A Ticket. “This /year nobody gets in without a ticket, and this applies to ser-geants-at-arms and doorkeepers as well as anybody else. It’s so hard to get a ticket that we believe the holders of tickets should be protected against underground railroad methods.” . . , The national committee decided not to have doorkeepers and Ser-geants-at-arms chosen through political pulls this year. Soldiers are to have charge under command or Major General James A. Ryan, who led the column into Mexico m pursuit of Villa and who was with General Pershing in France. Mr. Henley says General Ryan consented to take charge on the unstanding that the men under him would be subject to no other au-

thority. . . .. . .. Mr. Henley says he regrets that it will be impossible to provide seats for all the republican editors of Indiana who have recently applied. The former Indiana secretary says he sent a letter out to the Indiana editors weeks ago telling them to apply Cor seats not later than Apnl 20, but many applications have come in since that time. The best chance for such applicants is that some persons of Indiana for whom seats have been assigned will not come to Chicago. In that event Mr. H«nenway may have a few for later distribution. . Letters making assignments or seats may be presented June 5 at the Congress hotel to the national committeeman, who will in turn issue tickets of admission.

MOTOR EXHAUSTS.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 25.—Joe Thomas has been named to replace Tommy Milton as the driver of the fourth Monroe racing car entered in the 500-mile dash for $70,000 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 31st Tommy Milton, who had been named to drive it, having switched back to the Duesenberg team. Thomas is only 28 years of age and jumped into fame by winning second money in the Corona road race in 1916 in which “Wild Bob” Burman veteran speed king, met a tragic death. Although unknown to many frequenters of the great Indianapolis saucer, Thomas is one of the most popular drivers who ever pushed a throttle on Pacific coast tracks. He finished second to Jimmy Murphy in the inaugural race at the Los Angeles speedway, averaging 102 miles an hour’ for the 250 mile jaunt. The 1916 race at Corona brought a triumphant close Thomas’ first race as a driver. For six years previous to that time he had ridden in various popular road races at the side of several great speed merchants. Thomas’ home is in Seattle, Washington, and a whole train load of racing enthusiasts will come from his native state to cheer the |peed demon on to victory. ’ Jean Porporato and Jack Scales, who will drive Gregoires, arrived Sunday. Porporato drove here in 1915 in a Sunbeam. Scales is a Jovial Englishman who has been connected with Fiat for years. His last racing appearance was at the French Grand Prix in 1914. He says the main reason he was so anxious to enter the race was that he wanted “to see merican.” This is his first trip to the states and he was much impressed. When toured around the track he expressed himself as well pleased with the 2% mile saucer. Their only mechanician is Eugene Fluery. Porporato is an Italian; Scales an Englishman, and Fuery a Frenchman. They present a * peculiar’ appearance. Scales is the interpreter for the crowd as he speaks English, Italian and French. . , . , Bafney Oldfield’s Special arrived Sunday along with John Boling s Richard’s Special.

Aruthr Chevrolet, driver of one of the speedy Frontenacs, who was injured in a smash-up on the south turn with Rene Thomas’ Ballot, is recovering rapidly at the Methodist Hospital. He will probably not be able to handle a car in the big race, however. . . The Frontenac and Ballot cars art both being whipped into good condition again and will be ready foi the fray. Thomas escaped withoul a scratch as the result of one ol the most masterful exhibitions ol driving ever seen on the- Indianapolis track. A number of well known driven are here seeking mounts so Louii Chevrolet, ' builder of the Fronte nacs, will have no trouble in findinj a capable driver to take his brothei Arthur's place in the 500-mile dasl for >70,000.

BOOM STARTED FOR MARSHALL IN HOME TOWN

Fort Wayne, Ind., May 24.--An active boom for the nomination of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall for the presidency has been started in Columbia City, Marshall’s home before he was elected governor of Indiana. In a statement given out today Eph K. Strong, a Columbia City lawyer and intimate of Mr. Marshall, said that all efforts possible would be made by twelfth district Indiana democrats to nominate Marshall at the San Francisco convention. “Marshall has always believed and practiced that the office should seek the man and not the man the office,” says Mr. Strong’s statement. “He would be the president, and not the men or factions who might have affected his nomination or election. He would eliminate politics from finance and business from pok itics. His loyalty, patriotism and Americanism are all one hundred percent His /nomination and election would be a national blaming.”

I love thy “roeks” and banks and money mills. To thee we sing. The sweetest words of tongue or pen, are ‘'Enclosed please find check again.” You have to those words to appreciate them. It’s no fun to have to write them. Success cornea from writing your name on the back of your cheeks instead of the front You know what I mean—it’s more fun to endorse, than to sign. When you do sign, be sure you’ve received 100 cents on the dollar for the Amt checked out. On the other hand, try and give 100 per cent soy all the cheeks you get to endorse. Business is an ideal pastime only when there is genuine satisfaction between the man who signs the checks and the man who writes his name across the back.
