and Col. Mike went down the bay.
On the Cunard pier, however there was
goodly company to meet the ship and ito
distinguished passenger. There waS
delegation from the Metamora Club and
Larry Mulligan was there, attended by
numerous members OF the Lawrence Multi

And that ended Mr.. Sullivan's remarks
On things political. He wouldn't be drawn
into anything that had any resemblance
