In 1912. which resulted In the placing

It may be embarrassing for Mr. Proc

reason Is about over. Pennsylvania and
Vermont, both of which States Gen.
Wood yearns to capture, respond to no
influences that Mr. Procter can bring
to bear. As a matter of fact Mr. Proc

Murray Crane nor Senator Moses his
friends, and if It be shown that Wood'

unlikely that some more or less ami

There Is considerable friction In the

to-day there will be Senator Mosies, Mr.
