Many of thcBe letters emphasize the point that, notwithstanding the fajri that this Ih a Presidential year, business men are Ignoring political pioblems and are attending strictly [to business. Apparently, political ac tivities are having no effect what ever, as In former -years, In retard ing business or In preventing inanu facturerH from spending money to provido for enlarged facilities.
