Our reporter came in the Office, the
other day, and very confidentiaIly told
us that he could always tell a girl
dressed in boys clothes no matter under
what circumstances he saw them. We

to want the best men, but the first con-
sideration looked at is that they are Dem
ocrats. We hope to see party politics ig-
norcd in local elections Tor years to come.
