Gulf Of Mexico; a heavy gale came on

That portion OF the year which elapsed
between the commencement and close of
the Presidential Campaign was repete
with incidents. A summary of them
would occupy more space than the scope
Of these annals will admit no selection
from them would be satisfactory to the
compiler or those who remember them as
he does. or convey to the mind Of those

reality. 1t was a real jolly campaign"
with none of the little feeling which has
attended any previous one or any one

1t was pretty much so and those who
came to listen to the song We're very apt

the log Cabin and Hard cider campaign
Of 1910; but that logic AMI song worked
