Every farmer interested in getting

"This hitch demonstration will

said. I'm the past two years it has
been shown over the northwest and
has met with enthusiasm by all

It was later held in- valid by the department of justice and was cancelled. Several other government officials have been call- ed to give testimony on the same subject.
 The committee must pass upon the qualifications of West for hold ing . cabinet post, and immediately after he took the stand the politi- cal affairs of his home city and his participation in them was made the subject of inquiry.
