haa already expressed a willingness
to-allow part of the big fleet that la

Mr. Mitchell declares ' that the only

will hold true In the various congres

Mr1.' Mitchell. "They are rather proud
of it They, "are getting away- from
the habit of voting according to the
dictates of party bosses, and are study

than party creed." n
Mitchell's conference-with the creel-
