A Los Angeles court house attache.
now a civilian, who has served in the
United States army so long that he has
earned the title of an American CITIZEN
yesterday contributed this story in an
argument made at Democratic head
quarters:
During one of the English elections
which gave majority in parliament
to Mr.. Gladstone and made him prime
minister, an old-fashioned Tory, a
town councillor of Oldham, Lancashire,
got up in a meeting and opposed the
great commoner.
During his remarks he told his
hearers: Me fee-a-ther was a Too-a-
rie, and me grandfee-a-ther was a
Too-a-rie, and I'm a Too-a-rie, too
"This, of course, was Lancashire d1a-
lect for My father was a Tory, and
my grandfather was a Tory, and I'm
Tory, too
"At once a man in the rear of the
hall cried out: 'Tha fee-a-ther was an
ass, and tha grandf-ee-ather was an
ass, and thou art an ass, too
"This repartee, which brought down
the house, aptly applies to multitudes
of men who say: My father was q
Republican, my grandfather was Re-
publican, and I'm a Republican, too
Human asses are altogether too
numerous among us; and we are not

grandfathers or grandmothers believed,
