Second District Editorial meeting if its human
~ possible. We want to watch Joe Reynolds
and few of his old standbys try to resolute on
the highway bond issue and the state constabu-
larry BILL That bunch Of editors can work up
more enthusiasm, animosity, language and per-

any other aggregation for the Northwest. And
talk about fun! We HOPE we don't have to miss
it.

Vermont farm, where Calvin Coolidge was rear

Address your Senator by mail,
And ask for special legislation.
Let's put proper legal ban
