Washington — A week or ten days ago the name of Frank 0 Lowden was scarcely pered around where Lowden ” politicians foregath- ered forthcoming They talked turvy casting out the administration's experimental levy on corporate surpluses shows better than anything I can say how the voice of public opinion again Is being heard in Washington The “voice of the people" eo often was referred to by the politicians heard quite clear and strong by the senators and the result was a complete reversal" of the position which the President desired them to take bout the NaRepublican tional convention and they mentioned Governor Landon of Kansas Col Frank Knox of Illinois Sen Arthur and others Vandenherg of Michigan bnt never was the name of Lowden mentioned Now the point Is this: if Mr RooseIn the
