He says that he is with us in the war
upon thieving and corruption. 1t is
time for him to draw his legal sword.
Let him show. his faith by his,works

cover up enormoue and well.understood

the Union not know that the journalist
deals with general truths, and leaves to
the lawyer legal technicalities? Now.
We have pointed out the way to the cats
