pmarting under the allegations OF
sweet girl committee clerks that they
were howld old things for not wanting

they've just been there, Something

moral grounds that the senate was
here 10 attend 10 dlty and not take
pleasure trips. a kangaroo court was
proposed TO try and convict him, but at
last accounts he was sun loose

grown boys, and "a a day looks pretty
small 10 him as Il necessary days earn
ings, Hence he opposes trip after

road pass IN his pocket had an earnest
time trying TO convince each other that
