Something in his touch. or the tone

submission.

Facts About the

The Gold Dust Twins are car
TONED more than any other trade
mark in the world. Life, Puck and
other comic papers have given up
their front pages to them. The
N. Y. Herald, Chicago Record Her
aid, N. Y. World and hundreds of
other not-to-be-b bought dailies have
cartooned the Gold Dust Twins
prominently. Why? Simply be-
cause the Gold Dust Twins are pop
ular and known everywhere where
the English language is spoken
and read.
This is significant when you stop

though the senator scored an over
whelming victory in yesterdays pri-
maries. Roosevelt declared:
II don't for a minute believe this
report. LaFollette won in the pri-
maries after a fair and open con-
test. Any attempt to act at variance
with the wishes of the voters of
