NEW YORK. Oct 29.-There is an
even chance that a petite young woman
may be found sweeping off the Capitol
steps AT washington with a little broom
next Wednesday morning and that Sam

suited III "a heated argument and rea!

Bernard has voted twice for Bryan

Gus to ask a lady to put up any real

fair that you should do a little sweep
