thousands of citizens were waiting for an OBJ

Michigan The people of the State had their
chance. They knew that he was both a Re
publican and a candidate But he did not
run away with the returns On the contrary,
he received only pcrfunctory attention at

This collapse OF the Hoover deusion on
the Republican side OF the fence however
is scarcely less significant than the vote cast
for him by the Democrats OF the State He

SEEN ON THE SIDE
The Full OF Itornnncc.
by HENRY EDWARD WARMER

Sir Someone spread his cloak for a
lady to walk upon,
But that. my dear. was long ago in lovers
day that's gone!
Young Lochinvar came out of the West and
stole his girl away
But that one too, was one that occurred in Il
very different day.
It's long. long time since Romance reigncd
before the Age of Gold
y long. long time since Lochinvars were very
especially bold;
For now when Lochinvar would speed his
tryst on j trusty mount
he waits While for second thought as he
scans his bank account
When Lochinvar and the other chap, and
others OF that same ilk
Were doing their turn. there was no trust TO
couple of turtle doves;
There were storages on our eggs and n
steak could be secured.
And n chimp could tackle n hash without hav-
ing his life insured!
II you wanted fire you chopped your wood
with free and easy SOUL
And II wasn't 4 case of dig in your leans for
another ton of coal!
And in those far days you could take girl
and rock her in your lap
without fearing a touch for a seaisk!n coat
or another sable wrap!
When Lochnvar and the lover crowd sang
poetry TO their loves.
The only props that were needed then were n
couple turtle doves:
And a chap didn't fear, IL he loved a girl that
he'd spend his final cent
For in those days women could live on kisses
and very we'll content!
l'at today-ah me! Romance is dead!
and the hating lover shivers
Seeing his joy with one eye and with the
other darkcning rivers.
Pistols and poison and seven-knot ropes and
everything like that
% drasged-out life with a kicking wife
that he's jailed in a city flat!
. Lochinvar, come out of the West,
Come. speed your trusty mount!
Sut take good care that your kale's all there,
For you'll need your bank account:
