the pledges OF friendship. Senator Nc
Ccmas and Representative Mudd actual

done there is even a possibility that the

William J. Bryan may yet some day
meet and each falling upon the neck of
the other in fond embrace, call each
other brother.

would have been regarded as quite as

Maryland should sit together at a party
