policy also, and what a deed weight Fish, with his
son.in.law Webster and his bribed Assstai secre-

in TnE SUN about the exclusion of the
citizens Of this great Tree republic from the
Presidential grounds have borne fruit. They

tical steps towards correcting Tire bad gram ar
which added poignancY TO i've wrong OF exclusion.
Four brand new boards have been nailed mIne
dately above those bearing the obnoxious warning
