which Brother-in-Law Alien and our uni
versal ana everlasting DahlmRn journeyed
80OO miles for the sole purpose OF
making him governor Of the state. This
curiousYfact evidently 6aEes and disguBts
him. But he should be reasonable. Those
who-knov the political purity Of SOU Of
Mr.. Bryan can readily understand why
Brother-in-Law Allen and the universal

afraid he would be shocked out Of the cam

heavenly reason. il is more than likely.
they also decided not 10 allow Mr.. Berge
