All the Democratic party needs is
a leader, and something to lead, and
something to lead 1t to.
Every candidate is a fur-bearing
animal-the way the fur flies along
the last week before election.
It was of course understood that
Doc Cook was a Democrat-and that

when he branded the American press
as an aggregation of hirelings Of Plu-

the house says "Are you?" in that as. ,
