that object, but he wanted to say once
for all that the people of that district

He wanted to refer to that celebrated
suit of clothes. When he opened the
debate on April II, he made the state
ment that if a suit of clothes could be

was S1.65; it required seventeen pounds
of wool to make that suit of clothes.
which, at duty of 10 cents per pound,
amounted to S1.70, which subtracted
from s6.6S, gave s4.9S as the cost
of that SO suit. He was told
that that suit was to be photographed
for use in the campaign. He hoped that

you not know that the Bible says Thou
shalt not steal?" He replied, Mother,
that's the old story. Moses said that
1000 years ago." Laughter at is the
old story" said Mr.. Mills in conclusion.

applauded by his fellow Democrats and
the galleries, all of which were by this
time crowded.

her mother, Mrs. Folsom, entered the
