be filled at the November elections.
Those who are not candidates are
friends of candidates and up and down
they go throughout the city banging
each other over the head or using a
stiletto in the back.
1t is some" campaign and the phil
osopher who can sit on the sidelines
and watch the show is bound to have
ample suggestion for epigrammatic
comment on the foolishness of men.
Those who look deeper into the situa-
