Mayor Harrison lightly reaches

man for the short-term senator
ship.
Alschuler was very decisively
beaten by the. people in his race
Tor the nomination for governor.
Why should he be made an
United States senator? !
Apparently, the best reason
the Hearst-Harrisonites have to
offer is just that Alschuler WAS
beaten. Which is our idea of no
reason at all.
The social register discloses
