They had lesn the la: - down which

That man represents The honest heart
Of AZ honest people wLo really have

Mr.. Robbins and IL. Tucker IS, that
Robins means 10 keep his parole while
1Ir. Tucker does not mean TO Keep Lis.
Robbins Is willing. sUt more ;Lan will
ing. to accept the stars and stripes as al
emblem Of national power and national
