having completely rallied from the
effects OF an operation for appen-

pected; I'm fact, the Senator himself
realized throughout bhc afternoon
and the earlier part OF the night that
his end was near.
Senator McCarren remained fully
co scious all day. He said to the
physicians in consultation over him
today:

OF my own case. and find that my
trouble is an old heart and an old
stomach. If you replace them with

One of the pathetic features of
Sc ator McCarren's illness was that
his aged mother was not apprised Of
his condition. She thought that tho
campaign had kept him from home
and Senator MCdrren had insisted
that sho b3 kept in ignorance for
fear that the shock would be too
great for her.
