DID MCDONALD Reflect
MR.. FLOODS "GROUCH?"

Said a so-called Progressive
Republican after last nights
Democratic rally: II fear that
Mr.. Mcdonald did not make a
good impression"
Said a Democrat: "Why did
not Mr.. Mcdonald speak at the
rally?"
Said a Republican: Perhaps
Mr.. Mcdonald reflected Mr..
Floods crouch. He looked sad
except when the jokes were
sprung"
The real reason why Mr.. Nc
Donald did not speak is said to
be because Mr.. Flood occupied
all the time, explaining why he
left Virginia with its hard.to-
amend constitution to come out
to New Mexico to induce the
voters to have an easily amend
ed one.

instrument, that has placed him
among the recognized great conduc-
tors of the world and has won for

as one of Americas three greatest
~orchestras. This recognition has
come to Mr.. Oberhoffer and his re-
markable orchestra wherever they
have appeared, and public, critics and
musicians have We'd with each other

The loyalty Of Minneapolis to the
