Kaiser Bill is pulling on a minia

of the royal wedding. Poor old fool,
he is still nutty and thinks that he

have something to say about it.

If those boys who are wanting to

would be no complaint to make of

making it n white primary. Make it
a Democratic primary, and let Dem
ocrats vote in and control it, and
Any
man that won’t agree to support the
nominee of the primary should not be
allowed to vote in it, A primary is
a party agreement and should stay
just that.

man, they not only have rights, but
they are the supreme boss. Very
few grand-parents pay any attention
to what a parent says. We had one

heart’s content, and our daddy was
scared to butt in. While the doctor

obeyed a parent when a grad daddy

wise and they soon take up the yoke
of grandpa or grandma in preference
to any other. Don’t worry about in
