| devoted his attention to the Governor
| THAT Wild Governor of ours is getting
! wilder all the time he said. What a
| fine President he'd make. wouldn't he?
| And yet he hopes to become President
+! Why, if nobody could be hired or driven
j to stir up a war for his benefit he'd start
| one himself. 1t will be a terrible disap-
+, po;ntment to him when he comes here
| Friday night and finds that the police
| won't let him put up a riot.
Il don't know what there is in it, but q
! Republican who ought TO know told me
| that the argument that persuaded Roose-

! He might be q good man to run for Coro-
