in Congress were well received, and
the clear and concise manner in which
he treated the issues of the campaign

He was preceded and followed by
Messrs. SincelI and Sloan respective

principles involved in this struggle.
Thursday was spent by Mr.. McC0mas

the fact that any reduction in the

Mr. Sloan made many warm friends

He is a fluent and pleasant speak
