Senator Thurman, prominent cand-
idate for the Democratic nomination

in the Senate Thursday, showing
that the infamous election and Juror
laws were unconstitutional, exposing
the ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain of the Republicans lead
ers, crilicising the weak veto mess

lief for tile bleeding Liberty. The

speech without a single head line e
