ter OF Atlanta, Ga, vino was removed from
office for what Postmaster-G General Jewell de-
scribed as ''sloshing around too much and be-

the st. Louis ticket.
The Chicago Times, which supports the St.
Louis ticket, says of the rumor that Hem
bricks will not accept the Vice-Presidency:
Not accept? He couldn't be driven from
