crookedness on the part of any politicians is
causing the factionalism, the crooks should be

As matter of simple justice to the voters,
the La Toilette party should see to it that the
men who go to the polls in November to vote
for La Toilette have the same opportunity that
is given to the men who want to vote for Cool
