now history. There are some other
things which we may 10 the near

readers to.
You say why not elect honest

that all men running for office are

should be thoroughly investigated
by the Police Department. They
owe that much to our citizens and

him by John A. Lingo, the Rehobot h

time. But little thing like a suit
