he didn't want the nomination, de-
spite the fact that he was the only
member of the Supreme Court bench
who hurried through all his cases in
order to be ready to make the jump
at a moments notice, has contented
himself with general criticisms.
in order that the Republican cam
didate may not be without a text,
it is suggested that he might answer
the foiiuwing questions: -------..--.---------

Mexico? If you had been President,
