"A Public Outrage"
Senator Wheeler of Montana declares the nomination of
Roy West, of Chicago, attorney for the Insull super-power
interests "a public outrage" nd serves nbtice that he will
lead a fight to prevent confirmation by the senate. He says:
When Fall was appointed, no one suspected his connection with Do-
heny and Sinclair, Everybody, however, knows today that Boy west is
Sam Insult's attorney, friend and business associate. West himself has
. testified that he is large stockholder in the Insull group of companies
which are an integral part of the power trust.
As ex-offlcio member ot the federal power commission. Secretary
west will have a decisive voice m the leasing of federal water power sites
conservatively estimated to be worth more than a billion dollars. II .
am correctlv informed. Insull comorations have at least half a dozen ap
plications for leases pending before the federal power commission and
perhaps a considerable number more which have been filed in the names
of affiliated companies. . ,
Though Mr. West has long been pominent as a publi
utilities corporation lawyer, his name has been in the news-
paper headlines but once before his appointment to the cabi
net. This was on July 27, lttze wnen ne appeared peiore tne
Seed senate committee investigating the campaign expendi
tures of Frank L. Smith in Illinois, Mr. West then testified
that he had handled Insult money in the Illinois primary,
. that he had been an attorney for the Insull companies since
; 1897 and that he had "always conferred with Mr. Insull as to
. his investments, particularly concerning his own companies,
and as to politics, during these twenty-live or more years."
As Secretary of the Interior, Mr. West is head of the
reclamation service. He is head of the geological survey. He
, directs the activities of the commissions investigating the
construction of a dam at Boulder creek, and the operation of
Muscle shoals, both vigorously opposed by the power com
panies. He is ex-officio member of the federal power com-
' mission which issues licenses for the development of water
power on navigable streams. He is the one official that
should be free from connection with the utilities and repre--,
sent the public interests against private exploitation.
Mr. Hoover has not defined his attitude toward power
. development, but pussy-footed with generalities. Yet it is
one of the great issues of the campaign. Mr. Hoover has
said he stood for the Coolidge policies. Under Coolidge the
lederal water power commission bas been so starved for lack
. of funds that it had to suspend licensing last May and is five
years behind its schedule. Mr. Coolidge gave a pocket veto
to the Muscle Shoals bill, following this with -the appoint-
v ment ot tne cniei attorney of the power interests to supreme
power on the cabinet, thereby aligning the administration
' with the water-power interests. Is Mr. Hoover to carry out
; this same policy of using the agencies of government for

Fannie was consumed with curio
sity as to her husband's whereabouts
the night before and she could con
tain herself no longer.
"Was it the business engagement
that wrecked you or-?"
Larry had retired behind the
merciful front page of the morning
newspaper and his words came
somewhat Jerkily.
"Yes, in a way."
"But how?" Fannie nrodded. "Do
you know you drank practically, a
whole decanter of whiskey after you
got home? Goodness. Larry, I hope
you're not going to turn out a
drunkard!"
Larry pushed back bis chair im
patiently.
'For heavens sake. Fannie, don't
start getting red shawl and doing
the drunkard's wife act," he hurled
at her. "I met a bunch of fellows at
the club fellows I want to do busi
ness with and we had some drinks.
Had a splitting headache when
came home and took a couple more
drinks to straighten me out." He
looked across at her ' searcnlngly,

Where were you last night and what
time did you get home? The old
man can ask a few questions, too."
Fannie reddened under his scrut
iny. A feeling ot anger came over
er men, and she looked him
squarely In the face.
"I wondered if you were going to
ask me," she said coldly. "You
werent very much concerned how I
spent my evening, and you didn't
even think It important enough to

It was Larry who reddened now.
"Now that you're finally begun to
wonder where I was." continued
Fannie. "Ill tell you. I went for a

and asked us both to tro and when
I told him you were out he was kind
enough to ask me to go anvwav.

well, I do. manned Fannie.
'And I'm not going to Quarrel or
argue about It" She was close to
teats and Larry regarding her
trembling chin and mlstv eves
leaped up and made his way to her
side.
'All right, honey." he said, hold
ing her in his arms. "We won't say
any more about it. Come on, give
us a kiss." He pressed her to him
almost fiercely and in his dark eves
was a nine or anxiety, rannie melt
ed into his arms and raised 'her
mouth to his and their first quarrel
was averted.
'Say. Fannie." said Larrv sudden
ly, as they walked arm in arm out
of the breakfast-room. "I wish you'd
go and call on Dad this afternoon.

he'd much rather get a look at you.'
"But, why today?"
".Well, to tell the truth," Larry
replied, clearing his throat. "I'm
thinking of borrowing a little money
from Dad. Won't have to do it
right away might not have to do it
at all, but just the same, I dont
want him to think we're neglecting

'All right," agreed Fannie. "I've
a bridge game, but I'll start a little
early and drop In at his office.'
Fannie genuinely loved Larry's
rather. Samuel Holt was a fine-
hearted, level-headed tolerant sort
of man. He had raised his son In a
womanlesa home; Larry's mother!

had kept the house in as near a per-
lect state oz comiort and neatness
as his wife's capable hands had
done. There would be occasional
attentions of a temperamental
cleaning woman, but Larry's father
had kept house for the most part. In
addition to the small and moder
ately successful real estate business
he conducted. Had he been more
the go-getter type, he could have
made tne large profits his competi

attain more than a comfortable liv

mow are you two young rogues
making out over there in millionaire

"Simply scrumptious. Daddv."
Fannie told him. - "You must come
in and see us. Please Daddy," she
begged, "you never have."

butterfly kiss on the weathered

bridge party. .

evening when he, came home with
scnooi-boy promptness.
"Certainty did," replied Fannie.
"Isn t he an old dear, Larry?"
"Bet your life he is," answered
Larry with enthusiasm. "Oh, by the
way, Fannie," he added, "Gong's
coming over tonight. Ted's bring

the great lover will be among those

"Who do you mean?"

him a withering look.
"Ana Is sinuous Sonla coming

Larry blushed.
"Probably." ...
It was a gay party. TV: red
haired grd did her dance as she
invariably did at every party she at
tended. The blonde youth with his
customary too red expression, played
bis toe-tickling tunes on the Holt's
miniature grand piano, which they
would one day pay for. Fannie, in a
name-colored irock that brought a
glint to the eyes of Dane Tucker In
which there was a tinge of cruelty,
danced in his arms and laughed up
into his face with conscious coque
try. Sonla Redfield, with Larry
hovering near more often than not,
was beautiful In a gown of clinging
black, her petulant mouth redder
than ever. The maid had trundled
into the room a tea-cart laden with
Ice, ginger ale, tall glasses and sev
eral bottles with labels that miiht
or might not have been authentic.
Their arrival, at' any rate brought
rousing cheers from the throats of
the assembled guests and there had
been a grand rush in their direction.
Neither Fannie. In the arms of
Dane Tucker, nor Larry, bending
eagerly over the reclining Sonla,
heard the ringing of the doorbell.
