[ weeks ago when New York Republi-

i ncouraged by Charles D Hilles,
chairman of the State committee
who has announced he favors’draft,

The movement was brought into
the open on the Senate floor in de-
bate over the LaFollette resolution.
Senator Fess of Ohio close friend of

The United Press was informed
that Secretary of the Treasury Mel-

vately they believed the President

■ Even enlightened scion* of the

original, d’ yr rrr. such flnws don't

rect The imitator works with a srlf-
consciou«neK« and a meticulous care
which the artist. in the throes of
creative labor, never exhibits
"And here’s the point there’s no
way of imitating that enthusiasm
