lieved that a good many more would
be fired at him by the Republicans

desire to take a step which In any
way would initiate against the sue.

out and declared that Mr.. Perkins
must be the chairman Of the execu.

was very wealthy man, interested
In many OF the gigantic financial In.

that this was 90 would impress the
Roosevelt voter with the fact that II

ground that it had been charged that
