the sugar spectators are standing in
line at the banks to borrow money.
The campaign is nip and tuck, with
nipping frost. due for some candi-

The tired Paris business man is
going to be physical wreck between
now and the second of November be-
fore he gets the political situation ex-
planned satisfactorily to the new yot-
