Judge krueger congratulated tne as
ISOLATION on its success, socially and
politically, and spoke about It's benefits
during recent campaigns.
Assemblyman Baker answered to the
toast, 'Our Ladies' and no one could
have done better than the eloquent

to meet this condition, but in reality was
to pull the Republican party out Of the pit
into which 1T has fallen and save Its face
