Teddy took a kick at Wilson and
then sailed for Spain.
The kick was largely knock and
didn't get anywhere.
However, politics probably re-
quired that the leader of one party
take poke at the leader of the party
in power.
Hoyne says he didn't call Judge
Cooper crook.
Those present say Hoyne didn't
call Cooper crook.
The only inference left is that the
newspapers lied.

As nobody was killed outright at

doubtless many who don't feel that

O, yes, there are stores that will
fight Saturday half or whole holi-
day during the summer.
And if they fight it hard enough
they can prevent the ones doing it
that are willing.

show US man who is ever ready to

a man who bows as politely and gives
the street as freely to a poor sewing

virtue, not clothes; shuns the com

places to gaze at the fair sex, or make
unkind remarks OF passing poor girls;
show us the man who abhors the lib
