and this expression:

conclusion that the election Of VIII

1t is set out in the report that many
witnesses testified and that "the COM
mittee received full and complete

The report sets forth the summon
ing of H. H. Hohlsaat, publisher OF
the Chicago Herald-Record and Mr.
Kohlsaat's disclosure that it was
Clarence S. Funk, secretary of the
International Harvester company, who
had told him of conversation which
