~ the senators are as much a thorn
IN the flesh of the Harding managers
land the state committee as they vera
| at the state convention.
The problem of what to do with tbc

puHzel as that of two years ago when

meetings before deciding what to do
IN the case of Senator Foraker. IL

a seat on the platform, an invitation
