If, when they came In, they sat down on the water a little out of rnnge. he could tnlk them up Into rnnge. If Uiey were coming In too high, he could tnlk them down lower. If they were coming In from the left and most of the nhootera preferred right hnnd shots, he could talk Uiem Into coming In from the right. It's no wonder he hsd an easy race In the South Dakota primary. A guy with his powers of per suasion can do anything. OTI Plans Graduation Clnrcnce E.
