really worthy OF the proverbia philadelphia lawyer But
finally they boil down to last desperate effort of defense
against the reaction of the intelligent Montana voters
the ndscrmnate calling which has been the outstanding
characteristic of the Econ and cohorts campaign in their
fort evade discussion of state and national which
they have no stand except the of the privileged selfish
