Looking carefully about. and seeing

Only this time, instead of the nuts
being scattered out on the floor Of the

Test your memory little, at this moment without
referring to any book; it may give you shock of
surprise, to realize how quickly you have forgotten.
It Is important to remember that less than four
years ago the names of the running mates of the
Republican and Progressive candidates were familiar
names to every boy and girl and man and woman
in the United States that these appeared every
day, and many times a day, In every of $4,000
newspapers and in thousands Of other publications
These names repeated and repeated millions Of
times and quickly recognized and spoken as
the name of your sister your son. Only little
over three years ago that was and yet you find yourself
hesitating about the names now.
