Wood and Lowden managers con

forces to check the drift 'to Harding

At the moment of recessing the

The Harding forces returned to the
hall confident and full of fight and
equipped with a fresh supply of ban

The atmosphere of the convention
was surcharged with electricity. Ev
erybody knew there was either going

conference Mr. Willis said :
"It will be Harding as soon as we come back."
