J. Blydcnstein, whn returned from a

business would be gradual and that
the effort would be made only to con-
tract UNNECESSARY buying and curb

in all lines of legitimate business and
farmers are able TO obtain credit, he
observed.

maker, tried to bring the opponents
together. Smoot's efforts were futile.
He finally carried the matter 10 Sem

Lodge. The latter urged the neces-
sity of avoiding a split in the conven-i

appeared that Borahs and Mccormick
were going to bolt the subcommittee

off. his face damp with perspiration
and his hair badly rumpied. He led
Borah and Mccormick down the cor

with tho object of nominating the can-

and defeated" but he added that IL re-
ports on the platform decision reach

necessary to take his league fight to
the convention floor.
Senator PoindeNter has refused q

1t is understoon the proposal came
from the old guard group whose pro-

of Johnson and Wood in that order
and then concentration on Sproul and

that all nominating speeches and bal
