The partisan press of the party, both OF that

the favored few with their heels upon the
necks of the people, striding 10 richness and
luxury over their Frustrated bodies, filing
their Golfers that they may live upon the

and luxurious wines, while men and women
and children are denied even dry hu.ks of
bread, that this may be so. This is no
