WROTE tha. ridiculous address. l: is a doc
ument. they say. put forth by the II .i er.ty
of the Legislative caucus" of which he is
chairman. in which capacity he signed it.
Booth pre.ends to know something about
grammar: it is ungrammatical. B,oth IS
lightning or facts: it IS destitute o: facts.
Booth is noted for logic and rhetoric: i. IS
a !iiogica. as z; gag fence and as tecefs
OF rhetoric as drv hide. Booth Is pm
