and harmless, he has become silent, and some saw,

are harmless, why not publish them? The Argus
repeats positively that Mr.. Blair did tell its Editor
ana many others in January 1925, that If Mr.. IL
dams were elected, he would make Nh. Clay Se-
cretary OF State-and that this information was
SAID TO have been received in letters from WASH
