There will bs other Influences, but they will

between the eonserva i've ard radical influences

FEW AMUSING INCIDENTS

THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA
upon the neck Of Hayes will be elaine. You all
know Blaine. He is B aine man, first, las { and
all the time and the only resemblance hs bears
to Jesus Christ is in the fact that he regards all
who are not for him as against him. Now Bl.ine

large slices of patronage fri Haye'. He will
take all he can get, and il he get all there il

patronage Of Has es' administration to rewsr3
