Taer populations are the part but the fosam

No. the home mothers, the womanly women, the
wives and daughters who make the home refuge

tuted misrepresentatives-a Topeka. begging the
chance OF the politicians familiar shoulder slap and an
opportunity to rustic their precincts vote per-
chance to for Office.
