on the political situation. 1t is report
ed that he got mnch consolation out
Of the endorsement OF his administra-
ton by the Iowa republican conVen-
tIou, but unless he was kidding he
cou1d not take comfort from the ac-
ton Of a conference that walked out
ON the chairman leaving the hall to
the tanitor and his assistants. Things
do not look too bright for Cal just
now. If ha Is pleased IL proves he

Ah Chicago Tribune correspondent
deported from haly, because for some
unaccountable reason. the reporter did
not write as Bsnito wanted him to.
The Trib tapped its wings and told
the world that its representatives
