\ Dead? should say not was the
i Instant rejoinder. "You can't kill off
Imam like Hearst. You can't keep a

keep q cork down. The cork is bound

would be as big as the Goddess OF

1senator on the ticket with Smith for
Governor, and that you and yosr
friends told Murphy so?"
,NoShing in it." said Mr.. Conners
Mr. hearst was a candidate for Gov.

gong on, there is no intention on the
part OF Mr.. Hearst and his friends to
assack the Democratic state ticket
