is no one to listen to illumination News.

Congress at the coming election would Sc
riously hamper the peace negotiations now

would be we'll for Republicans to postpone
mapping until after the election.-Greens-

The success of the Democrats at this time
would cause the Spaniards and the other
nations of the earth to believe that the
