| away from him, and took up a po-
sition in wait. Dunkley saw the
situation and ducked down an
other aisle with the standard. Miss

with a big American flag and a
megaphone. They led the crowd in
singing. "Eia,l, Han, the Gangs All

McAdoo Men wild Again.
The outburst was the signal for

was almost in the center of the big
auditorium. More than thirty in
all were brought in and held up
together while the McAdoo men
went wild again. Some Of the ems

out of shape and from one the
name had been torn entirely.
New York, Georgia, Indiana,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Colo
