A Sad Mistake,

A rumor came to me Monday
morning that l was changed by the
speech Friday from Smith to Brown.
I suppose it grew out of statement
l made to Brown friend of mine,
who asked my candid opinion. | said
TO him that from a political stand
point the speech suited me better
than it did him, because I firmly be-
lieved it helped the Smith side.
