Suddenly emerging from hiding, General Johnson appeared at NRA headquarters, called all hands into the auditorium. Quoting freely from the classics, the Bible and the remount depot, the voluble warrior urged his followers not to resign through "sentimental foolishness," thanked them for their devotion. Said he: "I predicted this end from the very beginning. Red fire at first, dead cats and oblivion at the end." There was not a dry eye in the house, including the General's when he concluded: "Goodby. God bless...
First they presented her with a fat, leather-bound book bulging with press comments on her resignation. Then one of them clapped a hand on her shoulder and solemnly announced: "You're under arrest."

The senatorship is in doubt with John Lord O'Brian coming into prominence as Ham Fish fades out, or there is a slight chance that the convention might indorse Breckinridge with his Constitutional Party. Then the fight will be on with small chance of victory. With the party in a bad mess anyway...

The Swiss Government, strongly conservative, grew so excited that Swiss reporters at Berne conjectured fantastically, "If Russia is admitted we may resign and the League may have to move out of Switzerland." It took M.
