Appropriation bills to supply funds for all agencies of the executive branch of the government must be enacted, and advocates of legislation touching upon radio control, prohibition, taxa tion, alien property, Muscle Shoals, branch banking, farm relief and rivers and harbors are clamoring for atten tion. together with several internat ional problems. Among these, alien property, radio, and the McFndden branch banking bills, the Lausanne Treaty with Turkey, and the treaty to outlaw the uae of poisonous gas iji warfare have been accorded places on tentative programs prepared by the Senate and House.

Pershing will he elected to the Presidency.” predicted Frank D. Grist, commis sioner of labor and printing, here to day. Commissioner Grist predicted that General Pershing would ride to vic tory on the Democratic ticket after he had been nominated as a com promise candidate between Al Smith and W. G. AlcAdoo. "Smith can't possibly carry the South, nnd AlcAdoo would probably lose the North,” the state officer summed up tho situation. “Thus Pershing stands out as the logical man for the Democrats to select as a standard bearer.” He said that he regarded tho Gen eral's recent flat refusal to consider the National Oommnndersbip of the American legion as a direct indica tion that lie did not want to place any possible encumbrances between himself and the White House. "Outside of General Sherman, look at the great. United States Generals: who have ascended to the Presidency. It's history that red-blooded Araeri-! jeans honor rheir military leaders with high office. General l’ershing won’t refuse the nomination and nothing can stop his election,” Air. Grist stated. He said that Pershing, himself, was saying nothing, but that his friends were going to launch the big j drive at the proper time, and then | tho voters would flock to the band- 1 wagon. "Smith's strength is due largely to! tl-0 fact that many people believe ic ; has the inside track and arc suppori j ■mg-him just to be ow what looks -HtU' the popular side, but just wait un til Pershing gets in the race and you'll see them coming over in droves," he emphasized.
