that our 5 ; usually close

the senator is reputed to be "hyas

and the latter has - repeatedly and
emphatically declared that he would
"under no circumstances accept a

of the senator's reiterated statement

that the , president ' has privately
given his Oregon friend; a tip to,

senator Is not a man to do anything
to displease seriously the. president.
