to most people and something was
wrong with the shin Of state.
Senator Davis said in part:
"This is an age of greed and graft.

dollars. You cannot eat money. There

inside the breastworks; It has amassed
all the money--money is but the
means to an end, and It opens the
door to everything-the side In tnf
