They have exercised that control In all details to see that Mr. Peek did little except to write critical reports and make forlorn speeches. They performed all if' ""Iff .

At the bank offices, wherever you turned for information concerning Mr. Peek's expected resignation at the time It was known to be pending, the wise clerks directed you to see "Moore" not Mr. Moore.

Those close to Mr. Peek know he dtd not want to resign. He waa In terested in a theory of foreign trade.

Scott McBrlde, militant spear head of the "second dry war." in saddling the "evils" of repeal upon the president. "I definitely will opposo the re election of Mr. Roosevelt, although I haven't yet decided whether I shall actively fight against him," said Bishop Cannon. He added that "eith er Senator Vandenburg of Michigan or Col. Frank Knox of Chicago would be more acceptable dry candidates If either should got the Republican nomination.
