during the day. Several attempts have
been made to organize permanent COM

failure, each of the three named dis
playing a very marked independence of
the others. The present combination
holds good only during the work of or

quire some very hard work to hold it
together after the chairman is named
Jltige Longinois caucus tonight was
attended by nearly 1900 uninstructed
delegates and his campaign is being
managed with surprising smoothness.
The present indications are that the
contest will be short and decisive.

sake see what's the matter with your tele-
phone up there" he grufhy spoke to the Of
fetal -Whatever's the matter / don't

ready" The official grew pale with fright,

fume with sincerity. The main Office has
just called me up and says that on account
OF your blamed fooling the electric current is
submerging the central Office, and the girls
are quitting work Come in here now and

tighten a screw and then went down eel

ment that goes through a process of set
