National issues have entered the con-

cepttonxIly heavy majority, compared
with previous elections. Two years
later the democrats gained control OF
the lower house of the Legislature.
Today both parties are STRIVING for

We smile and they think we are gay,
But alas; we are gloomy and fearful,
Because of the ones far away.
