Outsiders may have difficulty un
derstandlng why the administration
cannot choose Its own concessional
leaders when It Is In control.
The truth Is that congressional
leaders are chosen for every other rea

principles. The dominant Influence
in their choice usually is personal

them he went riding with Miss New
And that she had Jumped from the
car and run Into the woods near the
abandoned Ruffner mine after a dis
agreement. Officers said Taylor led a brief
survey of the region before he was

IIAKBLN, Manchuria, Aug.
21. I ee by the papers that
liuey Long decided in favor or.
Paraguay and got a fort named
after him down' there. 1 guesa
these folks heard about a big
island near New York named
after Long, where, there waa a
battle not long ago.
If Huey will intervene over
here right quick I think 1 can
get a country and two miles of
railroad named after him.
