Add to this the fact that Itepre semtative Kltchin. leader of the House minority, is a candidate for the speakership, next time, and you get a pyramid of Tar Heel activity in the present campaign.

Demecrats will profit from the dissentions and disgust in the Re publican party.

President Harding Is not popular, although his stand against the bonus helped him in some quar ters. President Harding has his mind set on a ship subsidy measure that will build up an American merchant marine.
