With a couple of happy references
to the ladies and agood story,he
had the audience with him in short

"It does not look as if there was
any lack of, dothuelatam in this

speaker, surveying the hall frown

,points at issue.
First, the assessnient act which
the Government had refused to

"We are accustomed in thin
