Chairman c. Wesley Roberts for
his prostituting of his political
influence in a raid on the pub

stinks to high heaven, does not
satisfy the people of Kansas by
a long shot.

antly reminiscent of the loose

morality which the people of
America voted to change in the
last election"
Mr.. Roberts collected the SILL
