The election is still long way off
but some of the recent otherwise in
exp1icable moves made by some of
the leading politicians have been
very generally attributed to desire
on their part to "p1ay politics" in
preparation for the coming campaign.
However as long as the situation is
understood there need be no fear of
the results.

THE killing of the poor victim and

be freed from the workings of Satan
