cails for a little bit of labor. but if a

So what he does is simply this:
H puts h wet coat on an ordinary
hanger which ne sus bends where there
will be room all around 81 that the
coat will hang clear of everything.
Then he buttons the ooat up an gets

necessary. a final smoothing to get it
true and right everywhere and then you
eav it to dry.
when it is dry you will find the coat

ers held here today it was decided to
establish permanent state headquarters
in Columbus in charge of a salaried

paigns.
There was a very general sentiment
that the party ought to get together
and organize more vigorous campaigns.
Mayor Johnson. of Cleveland. and form-
er CONGRESSMAN Lentz favored the i'm
Mediate adoption of a declaration OF
principles. The former a
declaration for tax reforms, and the
latter thought g cent fares on street

ought also to be- advocated. The con-
