It looked like a real fight before the Kansas City convention, but something happened when Andrew Mellon arrived on the scene. He threw a gas bomb into the opposition by announcing that Pennsylvonia had gone over for Hoover; then there was a rush to get on the band wagon and from then on there was no doubt regarding the nomination. Hoover is a western man, hailing from California. His rise in political? affairs has been rapid and he is considered one of the biggest meir of the country today.

He had many friends and they urged him to run for city commissioner last year. During the past two years he has given his undivided attention to the mine in which he met his death. He had a real pal working with him, Mary Fields, his wife, who is heart broken over the sudden death of her husband.

They expected to make a fortune out of this mine and then retire, but fate, at least in part, has willed otherwise. ill ?( :e - REVOLTING NEGLIGENCE TED TAPE and inhuman negligence is said to have caused the death of Mrs. Catherine Carroll, 669 South Third East.
