...Vare of Pennsylvania. The James A. Reed investigations showed that he used a slush fund of some $700,000 to win the primaries last spring. Recent researches purport to reveal frauds in the November elections. In many wards in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Mr. Vare's Democratic opponent, William Bauchop Wilson, did not poll a single vote; in 119 city districts in Pittsburgh, Mr. Wilson received less than ten votes in each. Mr. Vare received the votes of one dead man, of one 5-year-old girl, of 25 people who swore they had not been near a polling place. With...
...dictatorship of Speaker "Uncle Joe" Cannon (TIME, Nov. 22). Since 1913 he has been in the Senate. He admits no Republican or Democratic or third party prejudices; no mind but his own controls his booming voice. This autumn he swung into Pennsylvania to herald the campaign of William Bauchop Wilson, Democrat; he is just as liable in the future to dart off to Florida to boom some progressive Republican. "Party ties rest lightly upon me," said he. "I shall be glad to work in unison with anyone, if he believes in the same progressive principles of government that I advocate...

William S. Vare of Pennsylvania, winner of the great Republican slush-fund derby, is opposed by untainted, able William Bauchop Wilson, onetime (1913-21) Secretary of Labor under President Wilson. In spite of the fact that such a Republican as Senator Norris of Nebraska (TIME, Oct. 25) is fighting against the election of Mr. Vare, in spite of the fact that his chances of being unseated by the Senate are many, it would be no less than a political revolution for Pennsylvania to elect a Democratic Senator...
Republican Senator George W. Norris, whose Nebraskan voice no mind but his own can control, swung into Pennsylvania, campaigned for William Bauchop Wilson, onetime (1913-21) Secretary of Labor and now Democratic candidate for the Senate. Senator Norris was not so much for Mr. Wilson, able Wilson though he is, as against Congressman William S. Vare, winner in the great Republican slush-fund primary of last May. Piqued, Republican Manager William L. Mellon, nephew of the Secretary of the Treasury, called upon Senator Norris to go back home, to leave Keystoners to attend to their own business. Democrats deemed this...
