its strength is to be found.

In the carrying out Of the programme
there was just one hitch, perhaps two.
The one certain was where the whole

rich bosses table, and that was doled
out TO them with an unwilling and mig

The other painful failure of the pro.

pretty surely on the slate. His friends
say he was sold by his brethren.
They deny the soft impeachment,
and pointed to the fact that twenty of
the Los Angeles delegation voted for

HIGGINS KIDS"
Much has been made of he fact tina
the delegation nom San Francisco was
composed of SO respectable a class Of
men. II is true that the delegation
from the Bay City was in personnel for
above the average elected there, whether
chosen at the primaries by honest votes,
OF by the ghouls who worked u1der the
guise of graveyard skeletons. But, true
as this is, there were in il vast number
