Mrs. White is not making herself very
popular with the remnants of the Home

about her in her new role of political
boss:

Nation had their row about the carpet,
she has been trying to injure the cause
of prohibition. We knew very soon

believe that she gave tips on several of
the raids we had planned"
Mrs. Mary White is not the only for

as a friend of Democracy. Rufus Fra
