The Ivla Rylander started to do this a couple of years in Advance of the Houston convention and Vas doing remarkably Well at it when the trend took a direction profoundly in the direction of the then governor of new York that he deemed it i suppose undesirable to push his Effort to the proportions of an will dispute that governor Roose j actual Campaign in his own behalf veil looks must like 1932 s Juffer and dropped it altogether an cd a Onius nominee.

The governor Vas a great hit everywhere he went. He is one of the handsomest men in Public life. He has the grand manner but without any air of superiority or of condescension towards others. He has brains and . His political even Teeth in old roman there can be no excuse for food riots or any undeserved hunger in this country.

If Joe is entitled to first and he certainly in t All rational calculations Point to a wet democratic Choice two years hence. It was demonstrated in 1028 that a wet Democrat can obtain his party s nomination no matter How extensively he May be bolted later. Thus we do know that the. Dry democrats will yield somewhat. It is that the Northern wets will do so in 1932, in the Light of what happened at inc last congressional election.
