has become of this business Of making platforms
In 1914 certain gentlemen met at Baltimore and made
platforms they made before breakfast after all the business

They presented TO Polk and under amabe and
compasant disposition that chaactezes that gentleman, he
swore he believed it was Laughter And what hap

very with Great Britain about that very platform.
Lord Aberdeen and few gentlemen the
word your platform makers that they had interest in that
country, and your President that he had pcmaturey
committed himself upon that question, and that with
England for the maintenance Of the platform inevitable.

when you delegate them to form platforms. Now let look
