Fish Losing?

Reports from up the district Indicate
that Congressman Foster Is forging
steadily ahead of Brother Fish and will
be an easy winner II il even predicted
hy some that Mr.. Fish will withdraw
before the convention meets. Hc lost
his case when he wrote that hoyish,
seolding letter to the comptroller Of the
currency when he was invited TO resign
as bank examiner or keep out oil politics.
Mr.. Fish Is a clean. clever man, but that
letter was not Of the kind to convince
the voters Of his depth and breadth.
Moreover, Mr.. Foster has made an excep.
tienaly fine record as congressman and
