passed over him. He hurriedly stepped

When the election was over and the
Democrats knew they would have to
make steam for the ship of State for the
next four years, they became alarmed
through fear that the wood pile that
had kept up steam for the Republican

them, and they began looking around
for more fuel. Some of them suggest
an income tax, but it does not seem. to
