The foxy ex-Senator, who has capitalized so long and with so much ))ersistence on his once "sen atorship," evidently had a fresh Washington newspaper man to white wash with such a line of talk, ' It is accounted here, however, by this quotation from the "interview" tnat the morgued "senator": Mr. But ler Is reported to have said that "if . Harding is elected I would expect to . control the North Carolina federal . patronage," because "he swung to the Ohio man early in the game at Chicago." That's it!
