of the Presidential campaign con-

the contest. He is on the go all the

g men are liars save only those who
J. are with him and his new party
movement for getting back into the.
d Nations politics once again. ~ So

that President Roosevelt did send +

man extracted from his corporate
friends.
Every voter who has kept up kno
that he was willing party to the

Every voter who kept up kno
that Mr.. Bliss did get 100000 fr
