picnic. Ouotintf Sherman partially, it would be
a h of a picnic.
Mr. Hawley's secretary is back from Washing
ton and he will aain pretend that Mr. Ilawley
has been of some value to his constituents.
Mr. Hughes' campaign managers are claiming
that he will receive seventy live percent of the

regressive
vote. lie
