he had played the craven in the irst

because he had wakened to that state
of tense depression which CONES with
the sudden departure of drunkenness.
He became defiant now; whereupon
the police began to bully. While they

was enough for the Coroner and tho
detectives. They packed Tommy

West Virginia primary election was
held, IL is not yet known whom the
Republicans nominated I'm that pri-
mary for their candidate for Cover

no more severe than the charges and

ncient to disgust every one with the
Republican party, which would toler-
ate such candidates as these

ponents to be and such conduct at the
polls as the candidates allege to have
occurred. Though held at tho same

disgusted everybody by their methods
