quietude is concerned. How different
in Tulsa. There the Republicans eel

northeast end of the city fully $1,000
worth of cartridges were exploded in

Miss Robertson won out without hav

congressional halls. If she had had
to contest, there is little doubt but

Senator Pat Harrison, who had
charge of the speaking bureau for the
National Democratic Committee, had

campaign under the auspices of Pat
Harrison. The overwhelming land
