and reelection of Senator Egan. MT. McGrath, an organizer and past president of the Washington Park Community club, is member of the Egan-for- Senator club.
 MT. McGrath's statement fol- lows: Tt is privilege and a pleasure. to be working for the candidacy of such an upright citizen and friendly fellow as Senator Ed Egan. We all know him through years of honorable contact as neigh bor, acquaintance and friend. He was born in this district, was reared here, married here, and has reared his family amogn us. You can't help knowing fellow who is so loyal, and you know he will be loyal to the dis trict and its people"
 "Ed Egan has lived in the same house and worked in the same con- cern for over 30 years, and there is a certain stability and reliabil- ity about anyone who has such an unusual record. He is a man of strong character, of unblemished reputation, who has the respect of everyone. It is rarely that any senatorial district has the oppor- ttnity to get such a busy, capa- ble citizen who is willing to sacri- flee time from his family and business to represent his district in the state Senate"
 without any reflection on any, one, I say without reservation that this district has not had in many years the type of intelligent, loyal honest service which Senator Egan has rendered In the last two years

For almost an hour they talked,
quietly and intimately.
Once Bill looked out an upstairs
window of the big residence and
glimpsed them. He wondered if
there was anything else he should
say or do. He vas extremely mis-
cradle about the whole thing.
To save embarrassment he
avoided the two girls at noon; or
rather he found that they avoided
any sort of company. Bill a n d
Jeremy had lunch with the other
five girls in the smaller d i n i n 6
room. There wa a deal of good
natured banter and laughter
in which the two boys took almost
no part.
After lunch Bill explained the
whole story to Jeremy Tuck
err. That took quite a while Jeremy
was gravely disturbed by e S e
events, which had been going on
under his very nose, but without
his knowledge.
Meantime, however, the odd per-
versities of human nature W e r e
function in Bills normal soul.
After the two hours or so of Gained
emotions and quiet thinking about
the dly's episode. it occurred to
Bill Bailey that Lola had not, after
all, xplained" the peculiar pas
saee in her diary. She had just re-
t lie, her big tear-gemr1ed eyes
onto him and melted him! She had
actually said or done nothing def

and a skilled actress besides?

himself this afternoon, IF I am

riedly emptied, the huge lights
were darkened, and the convention
was soon to be another page in
history, but an important page, for
a long standing precedent, that of
nominating a candidate for a third
term, had been broken and only
the future holds in the palm Of ITS
hand whether another tradition,
that Of a third successive term for
a president, can be broken.
But the ending Of the convention
did not dim the enthusiasm Of those
in attendance-and they departed
to spread to the people whom they
had represented that reneWd faith
and hope in another ever greater
victory which thy had contracted
