Of determining what action he should

ty ballots until there is a determina-
ton by the court whether the election
&C commissioners acted within their

sucker The Republican party puts
two or three good things in it's plat

old fashioned political scrap. Its the
same old program year after year
Which ever side wins the political boss
skins off the cream and the voter
doesn't get anything. There is no dis

in Washington or Lansing. TIE bosses
Of both parties fought for the reten-
