Woods was on the carpet on ac-
count of the statements he had made
In reference to the situation on Ha-
wall and the slim chances of the Dem.
ccratic candidates on that Island. His
statement that the Democrats could
not muster twelve votes on Hawaii
was a special cause of grievance to
the party, and there was prevailing
notion that Senator Woods would
have to be disciplined In some way.
Evidently Woods was somewhat of
the same opinion. for he made no
bones about eating his words. He

had said what he did say, and 1t

peoial friendliness for Mr.. McClana'

/ in furtherance of the candidacy OF
that nominee. Furthermore, he would
be good in the future and never make
any more bad breaks.
Whereupon the Democrats received
him back into fellowship again and
gave him three cheers for retracting
