wiser members OF the Senate and eventually led to the
bolt by which the Democrats and all Republicans elected
Senator Schcnck president last winter defeating the
maority's nominee. Mr.. Grlggs The latters nom
inaIlon had been principally due to appreciation
for his course in preparing and obtaining
the passage OF the corporation tax acts ana
