THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, 2,000 ATTENDING W.C.T.U. PARLEY 51 Countries Represented at Convention in Edinburgh, Which Opened Tpday. By the Associated Press. EDINBURGH, Scotland, June 19.— Nearly 2,000 women from 51 coun- tries are gathered here for the twelfth triennial convention of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which opened this morning with a ses sion of the executive committee. While the general officers considered committee appointments, resolutions and nominations of new officers, most of the delegates acquainted them- selves with gray old Edinburgh, rich with the traditions of novelists and poets whose stories and songs glorify the Seottish trinity, the hearts, the home and the flowing howl. The tall chimney stacks of Edin- burgh’s breweries and distilleries rise everywhere to remind the temperance workers from all parts of the world that they are in_the heart of the enemy's country. Two hundred of the American delegates who arriyed yes- terday were most untiring sightseers preliminary to the opening of the gen eral session May we be united in spirit against spirits,” said Lady Astor, member of the House of Commons, in greeting the convention.

The group acts together in the main, however, and the names of Borah of Idaho, who so often has play- ed a lone hand successfully in that | body, and of Norris of Nebraska, are particularly mentioned as probable leaders of this group. Senator Borah is an outstanding figure in the Senate today. He has been an ardent sup-| porter of the administration in its cam- paign of economy. But he has differed with it on the Russian policy. the World Court, the so-called Mellon plan of tax reduction and he was one of the most active opponents of the confirmation of Mr. Warren to be At torney General.

Much importance attaches to the selection of a successor to Senator La [Follette’s seat in the Senate. Under the Wisconsin laws as described here today. the governor has no authority to appoint a successor until the next general election, but must call a special election. The Legislature of the State is now sitting, but the time for the introduction of new bills has passed, and it would require a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules to make possible the introduction of a bill to grant the governor this authority. It is doubtful that the Legislature now will agree to this. Gov. John J. Blaine, a La Follette adherent. if permitted to appoint a 1f Gov.

The regular | Republican organization, headed by the national committee, has been insist that control of the Wisconsin Repub. lican organization be wrested from the La Follette machine. It may be ex- pected that in the senatorial fight des perate efforts will be made both sides. the one seeking to overthrow and the other seeking to retain its seat. Senator La Follette’s term will not expire until March 3, 1929, and whoever is chosen will serve until that date. The situation in Wisconsin is fur ther complicated by the fact that an other United States Senator comes up for re-election next year—senator Len- root. who belongs to the ‘regular” camp in that State. The La Follette people have been bent on defeating him for nomination, and if not success ful there to defeat him in the election in November, 1926. 4 State Faction Split. The La Follette faction in Wis consin, however, has not been without its differences and difficulties in re- cent months. And now that its leader has passed, it may require a strong hand to direct and bring together suc cessfully some of the discordant ele ments. Gov. Blaine has been at outs with Attorney General Herman Ekern, another La Follette man Charges were made by Blaine and the insurance commissioner that Ekern successor to Senator La Follette, For had favored some of the insu: Summer’s Sports On the club-house verandah —at the beach—in the canoe—be comfortable and correct in the distinctive dressiness of summer sport: Sidney West swear, Trousers White Duck 2.50 & 4.00 Linen Trousers 5.00 & 6.00 Striped Flannels 9.00 to 13.50 % Palm Beach 5.00 White Flannels 8.50 to 15.00 Plain Gray Flannels 850 to 12.00 Linen Knickers 5.00 to 10.00 Sports Camel’s Hair 30.00 Coats Blue Knitted 15.00 Double-Breasted .
