The result signals to the administration that the tariff clash may persist despite calls for a pause.
Two more draft obstructors convicted in federal courts during the Wilson era were freed last week by President Trarding before serving their sentences.

Sober reflection follows the primary nominating Brookhart for senator as some Democrats who sought Republican ballots regret their choice and a sizeable Republican group vows not to vote for him.
