 Maybe Harding thought he could get first hand information from the retiring state execl- tves the methods used by booeggers in the sev- era states represented. Maybe he thought he might constitute himself the U s. Prohibition Enforcement Bureau and put the quetus the liquor traffic. We say maybe.
 And maybe. which may be the case, he felt he could have nice sociable chat with the Republican brethren to the outlook for his royal self hence. Again say, maybe.
