Sorlie of North Da- kota to fill & vacancy in the Senate caused by the death of Senator Ed- win F. Ladd. The source of Gov.

Deci sfons of the Supreme Court are be. ing scanned carefully, and precedents in the Senate itself. Senator Nye pointed out (hat the law giving the governor au- thority to appoint to fill vacancies in State and district offices is practically ! jdentical with the old statute, which ran prior to the vear 1913, when Sen ators were elected by the State Leg- jslatures, and the governor of North Dakota was held to be empowered to make appointments to fill vacancies in the Senate until the Legislature could elect As an offset to that argument, how- ever, the statement was advanced in other quarters that hefore the adop- tion of the constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of Senators no State law was required to give the governors of States authority to fill vacancies, since the language of the Constitution itself gave this authori The Constitution then waid: “And if vacancies happen by resignation or otherwise during the a State officer or a agreement of the p 1t susy mediate resumption n ors 1 miners’ repre- s 1 n invited take the meeting. but none of the < was present.

C., SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1925.—132 PAGES doubt of the result after the open- | ing of the second perfod. Bent by the savage plunges of two human Wilson and Hewitt, and opportune overhead thrusts which fell from a cloudless sky, the stout-hearted Midshipmen were al most constantly fighting desperately to stay Army advances deep into Navy territory. A gathering struggle. Army Wavers Twice. of 70,000 saw the methodical offensive and a rockribbed defense by the Cadets, which wavered only once, limited the game to few big thrills A\ sensational run of 42 yards by Harry Wilson, former Penn State star, in the opening period and a surprise dash of slightly more than 20 yards at the start of the third quarter by Banks were outstanding individual | performances. Acceptance of their only good ing opportunity brought the three points at the start of the sec- ond period when Tom Hamiiton lift ed a drop-kick over the bar from a | difcult angle after a long forward pass had carried the ball to West Point’s 18-yard line. The Army mule Army’s cool r- | v had brayed and showed his teeth in a sharp offensive in the initial quarter »hich had failed | to produce a score. The same mule now went on a rampage. ‘With the 205-pound human thunder bolt, Hewitt, leading the drive, Army ripped and hacked at the Navy line until the ball had been placed on the Midshipmen's 36-vard line. Here a long pass, Harding to Trapnell, pushed the Navy back under the very shadows of its goal posts. Wilson and Hewitt took two more bites at the Navy line, and then, with the future! admirals fighting gamely to check the march, Harding arched an aerfal to Capt. Baxter, who dove across the line for what proved the wining touch- down of the game. Wilson Adds Point. Wilson's perfect kick from place ment added the Army’s extra point and gave the Cadets a lead of 7 to 3 at half time. Wilson, Army’s backfield the defensive giant of the although Navy at no point v successtully to penetrate the Cadet's line or skirt their ends. Time after time the fleet Annapolis backs were thrown without gains at the wings, while the powerful Army forward row stopped nearly every plunge on the line of scrimmage.

Twice in the third quarter, however, promising starts toward the Army goal line were stopped by Intercep. tion of Navy passes, once by Wilson | and once by Daly. | With the ball on Navy's 45.vard line, Hewitt and Wilson finally got under way another parade through the Nav ranks, pounding their way to the 1 ard line.

MOSCOW, November 28.—Leon Trot- sky, although physically ill and some- what down and out politically, gave a characteristically pungent interpreta- tion of the Locarno agreements and the part played in their making by the United States, at a meeting of the local Soviet at Kislocodsk, the water- ing place in the Caucasus, where the former war chief of the Soviet is try- ing to recover from catarrh of the stomach. A report of Trotsky’s speech reached Moscow today. He said that while Great Britain, by virtue of the Locarno security pact, had become the world's peacemaker as far as Europe was concerned, it ‘was the unseen hand of America that pulled the strings of power in Europe and that England was only America’s puppet. Trotsky admitted that communism was very weak in the United States and that Americans had no fear of it. He also admitted that Soviet Russia’s expectations regarding the proletarian revolution in Europe and America had not been fulfilled, but maintained that the fact that the Soviets had been in power for eight years showed A ~ America Pulled Strings at Locarno To Insure Investments, Trotsky Says that the Moscow government was pro- gressing toward soclalism and not toward capitalism. He said that America, holding four and a half billions of the world's nine- billion-dollar gold reserve, was a “big, rapacious animal” and that it was well tk t America remain overseas where ¢ 1e is unable to menace the Soviets. The Locarno pact Wwas necessary, Trotsky continued, because while all other countries are suffering from a shortage of gold America must ex- port her surplus and Americans who want to invest abroad demand peace and order so as to insure them inter- est on their investments. “No nation dare oppose America,” Trotsky said, “because if the finan- clal strings are pulled even thé brave Churchill (Winston Churchill, British chancellor of the exchequer) has to turn right or left just as America tells him. The United States says to Eu- rope: ‘If you Europeans want to get loans, then please don't engage in squabbles. Spend less on arms and please pay the interest due me more regularly.
