Harrison, now serving his fifth term

his hat into the ring. Friends of Con
gresham Harrison figure that if the

considerable advantage over the o n
gresham who favored getting into it.
Congressman Harrison, however, is
not likely to have the field to himself

Soon IL was a vast and inclusive effort

average American. especially OF the
men and women who live In the small
