Each guest or the most of them brought baskets and they were filled to the brim with everything that any one could wish to eat. After All had arrived that had been invited the Good things were spread out and it is useless to say that her son Lloyd was the first fellow Down at the table and the last one to leave which plainly demonstrates that there was plenty to eat and some to spare As Lloyd is one of those Fellows who knows a Good thing when he sees it.

He resigned within five minutes of the announcement of the final vote of the Chicago convention and president Wilson accepted his resignation by special messenger so that he was a Plain citizen with no official position when he accepted the nomination which shows that he is a better Man than some of his party thought he was. We Are glad he was so prompt about this for it shows he has a. Keen sense of the situation and will probably act in a patriotic manner upon other problems As they come up if he is elected president. We want to go on record now As not being Able to see any danger to the american people or american institutions in the election of or.
