...trust Law), and Canton ("The home of truly beloved William McKinley"). Crossing into Pennsylvania, the train, now fairly bursting with local bigwigs, ground to a stop at West Middlesex, where in a small frame house Alfred Mossman Landon was born 49 years ago. Out hopped the spry Governor and strode down the cinder platform to the automobile in which he was to ride with rich and handsome Mrs. Worthington Scranton, Republican National Committeewoman and dowager of Pennsylvania politics. Past West Middlesex' dozen stores and between its few blocks of houses they sped amid shouts of "Hurrah" and "Come...
Priest. Into the convention hall next morning strode another burly divine, not by a stage entrance but by the front door. As he marched up the long aisle Townsendites shrilled and roared.

In spite of concentration, by the 18th hole Patty had missed five putts of less than five feet, lost her second-round match to Elsie Corlett of Lancashire. Other favorites fell even more quickly than Patty, whom British bookmakers had backed as the No. 1 U. S. entrant in the Women...
Equipped with a stop-watch he appeared at the Museum just before midnight. Unlocking the large front door, he entered the deserted building, glanced at the watch, and strode up the stairs. Reaching the top floor he again noted the time, remained motionless for precisely three minutes, and then walked to the head of another staricase. Here he again consulted the stop-watch, and paused for three minutes before descending to the ground floor. Once more he glanced at his watch, left the building, and disappeared in the night...
