ters of the Tuberculosis Drive" that

well as those who have finished the
work. The returns in from approx
mately one-half of the state indicate
that thirty thousand dollars has been
raised. A number of the small towns
have exceeded their quota, some have
leyen doubled it. The reason for the
delay in getting the returns is large
ly due to the fact that the first day OF
the week of the drive was q holiday
and a great many people were away
from home. 4stt 10 no388is

The latter course would necessarily
involve heavy expenditures of men

Borah or Johnson as leader are heard

them in statements made this after

Senator Johnson said: "My future
activities depend entirely upon the de
cision that will be reached on the

slightly better feeling and some
prospect of compromise After toiling
all day the platform makers evolved
a treaty and League plank which may
be acceptable to both Senator Borah
and Senator Lodge.
