Having done this once, our Wall
street friend" think they can do it
again, apd keep on doing it. But
they do not read the signs of the
limes. They may commit Democrat-
ic politicians in the Kast as against
the people. But if they do the Re-
publican party will be wiped out and
(lie democratic party will either repu-
diate Northeastern leadership or
split across the Alleghany moun-
tains.
