There was more enthusiasm mani
tested over the nomination of Holland
by Harry Pestana than over that Of
Reeder. But everybody knew it was
complimentary. Pestana was not
delegate to the convention but the Rus

had nothing against Reeder but
thought that he ought to be willing
to pass a good thing along.
