At tl " same time, Senator Poln

"Roosevelt has a n?! ?- to attend a
private ilmner and it isn't for me to
con; rue n t."
On tl.. nt'-.ir hand. Representative
Curry of California had this comment:
"I do ri"t thir.k that any combination
of rich can club the Ktj.ubllcan party
Into nominating any ma::. I gue.ss the
dinner was merely to throw bouque's
at the colonel. Tim R'-puMican candi
