THE MAN WHO TALKS

the nominees to the highest office in the gift of the people is making a most par thetic display of the lack of any deh- nite issue Hence is throwing mud at the opposing party at rate that IS enough to make his own gang weep Rarely in a presidential campaign has the long suffering country been go deI-1 uged with senseless mouthings. If only an inch could. be taken from this mans s, jaw and inserted between his temples he would rise to mediocrity.
