And speaking of comparisons, Demo.
cratic 'soup houses so called, do not
! compare with, wholesale strikes and
lockouts, as political reminders.
And as to such reminders, govern.

Immediately upon assembling, in which
case that there will be gunpowder and
fireworks galore throughout the country
goes without saying.
Speaking of the campaign, there are
signs of such campaign as that of

It is safe prediction that convention
