Of Eleanor, from this last meeting.

Mr.. McAdoo says that politics
and business will not mix" The
truth OF that statement has been
amply dem onstrated. When the at
tempt Is made to mix them both are
sure to suffer. The conscientious
voter--and most of them can be so
descrIbed--has little use for tho
party that exploits big business to
the end that It may be continued in
power. That fact has been proven In
the past. and its soundness will again
