 Perhaps the outstanding speaker of the speakers group was Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, Conn. MT. Ryan campaigned throughout the New England states during the last national election and since that time has spoken at various public rallies urging the adoption of the presidents plan by congress.
 Mir.

 This is what the supreme court of the United States has done in
