Of the President is concerned most radical
differences of opinion. We have given sew

supporting side of the issue, we regard it
as proper TO present few authorities ON
the othcr-rcmarking by the way, that the
dcnouncers and supporters are of the same
"happy family"
Says the GAINESVILLE Courier:
"Thc people will sustain the President Ia
his position. especially SO, as he has been
careful to tortity il with sound and strong
arguments. The veto was given 10y the
President reluctantly, rs Is evident from the
paper itself and only under the imperative
