an occasion and is in the nature OF
an apology made before the breach
or etiquette has been committed. II
Gov. Swanson did not contribute 70
Secretary Branch's defeat, he most
essuredly emphasized it.
1t would be well for him 10 have
his speeches written and edited. he

ed the arraying OF class against
class and he specifically de
nounced race prejudice declaring
that it should have no place in the
financial Jurisprudence OF the coun-
try.
The daily press edited this out OF
his remarks. but We heard the ut
