Not a Flowery Speaker.

Candidate Paris says:
Not Flowery Speaker.
For one, ] cannot be counted on for
any flowery speeches, or burst of ora
tory. My simple statements must, and
will be, confined to certain ideas which

sense of public official, will be mould

portunity and the necessity of their APP
plication.
sin the first place, l believe in a
more economical and expeditions man

tails of this can only be worked out
