woman has asked a pair of American ditto how they expect to settle the voting question. As for any political

Reporter for The Sunday Wallop en route to inquire
of Presidential candidate just what are his views on

Mr. George Brick has been explaining at great length, so that
Mrs. Brick may know how to vote next November, all the in?
tricacies of party issues. Mr. Brck has failed miserably, for
Mrs. Brick, right in the face of Mr. B.'s most convincing argu?
