The Republican campaign was

Commenting on the acceptance
speech of Vice President Charles
Curtis, Mr.. Costello asserted:
"It Is to be 1928 all over
again, with all the whisperings,
innuendOes, and workings of
both sides of the street. By

and Misrepresentation, the Re
publican performers win aInuse
