II is Il stff proposition the administration

are trying To do that impossible thing But
from the ominous murmurings that are
heard throughout the land. not even Il con-
siderable portion of the people are being
fooled any OF tho time. They are closely
following the Republican legerdemain and
woe hetide the latter If they do not pail of
