Every hotel in every city In

what the tourist trade along means
to the present prosperity and
future development of our land.

annexation and the contemptuous
terms in which many conservatives
refer to the United States breeds
ill-will in variety of directions;
it Is a cheap sort Of business ut

"The party driven to appeals Of
this kind cannot wonder If it's
unpatriotic attitude Is getting In

The newest House pronouncement

Senator Kenneth Mcclellan CD OF

was attempting to amend and re-
form the Constitution after "hav-
ing established that he was the

suited In q situation in which "the
President may have q party ma
5ority with him and yet be unable
70 carry out his mandate to govern,

"There are provisions Of the Con-

"He does not believe In the checks
