and west on the financial issue was a
thing OF the past and that those who
had left the party four years ago I'm the
west were returning on the issue OF ex-
pansion. The first mention of expan-
sion was also the signal for a demon
stratipn.
Senator Wolcott paced up and down

center OF the hall. where a tall, gaunt,
black garbed figure with the swarthy
