cess of the Mouth
A union of all Republican clubs
in Salem into one organization, to
be' known as the Harding-Cool-idge-Stanfield
club, was urged by
alter L. Tooze Sr., at" a meet
ing of the Salem Republican club
last night. The, meeting was held
in the circuit court room at the
court house. '
Such a club as that adviser by
Mr. Tooze would, embrace the Sa
lem Republican club, the Salem
Young Men's Republican club and
the Women's Republican club.
More Voters Wanted.
Mr. Tooze Is now engaged in
going about the state organizing
Harding-Coolidge-Stanfleld clubs.
Whether his admonition to the
local adherents of the Grand Old
Party will be adopted is to be
decided at a later .meeting, which
probably will be called by Pres
ident James G. Heltzel early next
week. Mr. Tooze, and a big per
centage of the Republicans of
Marion county, believe that the
one big club would be a powerful
factor in the fall . presidential
campaign and would count tor ac
tual votes rather than mere hur
rah and occasional booster tueet-
ings.
While there was a good-slaed
attendance at the meeting last
night the election of officers was
deferred until the meeting to be
called next week. Several candi
dates are being put forward for
the post. The election will take
on vastly more Importance If the
triple organization urged by Mr.
I ooze is formulated.
Slackers. Not Tolerated.
Half a dozen speakers addressed
the meeting last night, and awhile
all of them expressed firm con
rictionsthat the coming four years
will be one of Republican admin
istration, they were unanimous in
their admonition to the Republi
can party members' not to allow
the traces to slack in pulling this
section of the state over the top
with a decisive Republican majority.
The speakers were Daniel Web
ster. Judge P. H. D'Arcy. Mrs. C.
P. Bishop. Walter I Toese Sr.,
A. A. Lee and Ralph Thompson.
Mrs. Bishop is a member of the
committee on speakers of the
state' Republican organization and
Mr. Thompson is chairman of v?
Marion county RepuKlican cen
tral committee.
Among out-of-town men attend
ing the meeting were G. R. Watt
and N. C. Wescott of Aurora. The
latter is editor of the Aurora Ob
server, one' of the srronges Re
publican country weeklies in the
state.
BALTIMORE, Mi., Sept. 7.
Four civilian eraplcyes of Edge
wood arsenal, near here, are dead
and four more desperstely ill as
a result of drinking om form of
poisonous alcohol. Military au
thorities said ther did no.' know
whether Ihe men brought their
liquor In with them or drank rorae
of the alcohol stored at the yost
for military purposes. The latter,
they admitted. had been rendered
deadly to deter soldiers from steal
ing and drinking it.
Efforts of the military author-J
ities to find out where the liquor!
came from have been frustrated
by the refusal of any of the men
to tell where they got the liquor.
A number of those who are ill
and those who died left the camp
Saturday. - Sunday and yesterday.
Labor day. Those absent from
work, the authorities say. makes
it difficult to ascertain whether
the drink consumed was secured
somewhere outside of the post,
was procured from some soldier,
or taken by the men who drank It
from the store of the post.
BALTIMORE. Sent. 8. George
Murphy died in the hospital at
Edgewood shortly after midnight,
bringing the total death list to
five.

Moore Take Offense
Senatorial traditions as to cour
tesy were strained' to the break
ing point on several occasions as
Republican and Democratic mem
bers wrangled over the value ot
the evidence and. at one stage Just
before adjournment Mr.l Moore
started to leave- the stand, ex
claiming that Senator Spencer, Re
publican of Missouri .had Intimat
ed forgery by questioning the au
thenticity ot a circular letter be
had offered as furnished a "lead" v
to further Information.
No man. even though he be a
United States senator can make
such a charge as that against roe,"
said Mr. Moore.
Heed Lands on Spencer.
Senator Spencer's disclaimer ot
such a charge brought his Demo
cratic Colleague. Senator Reed to
his feet with a protest against
"bullyragging." lie said the 'en
tire , Incident was "dlsgracefuL"
and 'announced that he proposed
to see that the witness was treated
like a gentleman.
The exchange was the climax to
several occ a Trances and not even
Chairman Kenyon'a plaint that he
"could not keep- peace Ln Mis
souri" served to settle the atmos
phere. I don't want peace. 1 am pre
paring for war," pronounced Sena
tor Reed.
Telegrams Fnralah Lead.
Considerable of Mr. Moora'a late
testimony consisted ot Information
gleaned from telegrams received
from Democratic state chairmen In
western states. He told Senator
Kenyon be had sent for some ot
this information and that other
parts of It had been volunteered.
"Don't yon expect to give ns
other leads besides telegrams from'
Democratic state chairmen? ask.
ed Senator Kenyon.
Mr. Moore said the messages
were Intended merely to surgest
avenues ot Inquiry and he said the
"paid employes ot the Republican
national committee" ougb.t to be
able to furnish the committee with
the facts.
Want Men Sobpoctiaed
"The object is to get those men
on the stand here and If they lie.
prosecute them. declared Mr.
Moore.
"You mast expect to keep the at
torney general busy.- suggested
Senator Kenyon. "Of course If
perjury is committed before this
committee the guilty should be
punished."
Senator Kenyon continued that
In newFpaper interview Mr. Moore
had criticised the work of the com.
mittee and added:
'Governor Cox wired Senator
Reed that he would produce the
evidence and lads to support his
chargs. But through you he sends
none of this evidence and yon
start a line of evidence which It
would take .ns a year to ran
down.
Bulletins Held B1L"
'Senator. replied Mr. Moore.
"Governor Cox had the" official
bulletins ot the Republican com
mittee showing that certain q io
ta existed and that widespread
plans were being carried out to
collect them. Yet the Republican
witnesses get oa the stand here
ard tall ns these bulletins were
only 'bull.
Then he presented a copy of
what he had every reason to be
lieve was a true quota list. The
Jay before the list was published,
the Republicans said there were
only four copies of It In existence.
"Now they testify that the list
never existed. It Is the same way
with 'form 101 and we believe w
have cot to get thl sevidence if tho
committee really wants it.
