had the words of this declaration died
away when there came the test of the
profession, the test which was met by
the shameless proceedings of the Buff
falo convention.
Il have promised nothing in this
campaign that L cannot perform. And
there will be no exigency of this cam

single thing that l cannot perform in
order to get vote"
