Mr.. Bangs who is now travelling in
Montana, expects to return to this

campaign will then be on in earnest.
Plans were fully gone over at the
committee meeting, and the arrange
ment for publicity work was the sub
ject Of thorough discussion. 80
Chairman Byerly made 1t evident
yesterday that Mr.. Bangs would
ignore the petty ~partisanship details
incidental to most campaigns; he
would stand squarely behind the
president and work for the welfare of
the farmers and other citizens Of his
district in general.

and she gives a thrilling account OF
her experiences on the voyage, and
tells Interestingly of her stay in Lon
