The Democrats have fine field in
this section. They control, after
election, all the business in the
hands of the elected, who made
their promises before hand. Settle
up, boys, and let us see how you
look with your new gear on. Will
you be with us next time, or, will
we have to fight the battle alone.
One or the other, where you dump
your cart, you want TO watch for the
