enjoy IT, There we're more caps than I
hats in slght-the heavy cloth caps with .
ear flaps that longyhoromen wear.
Corresponding Secretary Griffin gave I
way to Mr. Kelly, whom he introduced 1

the crowd Insisted on halling az
"Jawney." Mr.. Griffin was just getting
under way with his remarks when a .
carriage came through Greenwich vii /

10 the track
Mr.. Hearst has graduated from the .
nlanuscript-readIng school Of campaign

his carSage when he got through.
