regret that American soldiers are pc

publics deriving all their governmental
powers from the consent or the gov

ty for its thirty-eight years or AFFECT
subservience to the shipping interest

IL. Political bosses are to be deteSted
and are fnimtcaf TO our form Of gov
eminent. Bosses represent simply a
concentration Of political power. or a
ring. They live and exist through Jobs
