duction in the steel industry by Her
bert Knox Smith. commissioner OF

6ent Taft and sent TO the House COM

Grafton in connection with the pro-
posed revision of the steel tariff sched-
ule. upon which the Democrats will

All the names were selected at ran
dom from the mailing lists and no one
in The Courier Herald office had per-
sonal acquaintance with them. or knew
the politics of those to whom the cards
were sent or OF their opinion regarding
presidential nominees. Five cards were
sent to residents on every rurai route
in this county and four on all the
routes in all other counties.
