II have been asked to scome here,
and tell the TRUTH" said the prosecu-
tor. well, I'll tell the truth. The
republicans have governed better
than the democrats. Not an account
has been overdrawn since the repub-
more do you want? Let we'll enough
al~~e. | think the democrats are like
a i7t of thieves. Why let them come
j. 0 Office after they have robbed you

cluded with a funny story in which
he portrayed his sentiments. In
speaking about the candidate for
state senator, Mr.. Berdine said: II
knew Silzer when he was boy. His
father had little more money than
Jackson's father, so George was sent
to school and received good educa-
ton, while Jackson had to get out
and hustle for himself when only
eleven years old. Silzer was all right
until Charlie oliver took him in
charge and made him an arch-scala-
wag.

men," continued the prosecutor, "and
some of the democratic candidates,
lawyers, and all Silzer does is give
game of talk. He is just candidate
for fun" Mr.. Berdine then read
short poem entitled What the Devil
Thinks of Lawyer" which caused
much laughter.
