righteousness are not only refreshing, but
electrifying. This Oregonian. who is
neither a delegate nor an alternate, nor

can voter. has written a letter to the
management of the Auditorium Annex.
The missive was received yesterday.

for the Republican convention. read the
letter. Il will patronize your hotel while
