Notwithstanding this fact, however, on
Wednesday morning another criticism,
more severe If anything than your own,
appears under the heading OF "a Dealer
Hauled Over the Goals" which Is signed
"Pubhc." lr EGA .

practiced. Therefore no answer at all
was the best, and all you could do for

for the people and don't make such mis-
