SEVEN YEAR ITCH
IS COMING BACK
Saw the Mining journal:

The most doleful thing about
the recent election is that is prob
ably will keep Harold Itches with
us for another four years. Please
do not write and tell me that we
have misspelled the name. He
itches to get his hands on and CON
troll everything we have and he is
a terrible itch to the whole mining
industry. We have had the seven
year itch and now it promises to
be an eleven-year affliction."
