70 appearances but appearances are
sometimes deceitful-" sam" Randall is
ahead in the canvass for the Speakership.
He /. certainly doing the most work, and
he does not mean to be beaten. Yet Mr..
Kerr's friends DO not admit for moment
that his chances are in danger. The con
test lies between them - for "Fernandy

no choice between them on that score
