i,litteenan from Kansas; Walter S.
Hallanan, committeeman from West
Virginia; former Gov. Walter Kohler
of Wisconsin, not to mention Col.

also declared that Col Knox will not
take the job. Two other Westerners
mentioned are Albert J. Simms of
New Mexico and formerdGov. Brucker

ically according to some of the Re-
publican leaders. He was trained
under the able guidance of the late
David Mulvane, one of the most pop
ular members of the Republican Ma
tlonal Committee. Hallanan of West
Virginia has been projected actively
into the fight. In a few short years
he has developed from a newspaper

report that he would be an influential

It is a veteran team while the locals are just coming on, and the odds favor it to win.
 If, after the Channel series, the Bears could arrange for serise with Petersburg and Ketchikan, possibly combining them with the trip south for the titular series, it would give them a better chance, maybe proving just the edge to put them in the picture.
