There could be nothing else to look for. When so many candidates want so few jobs, somebody, or a lot of aspirants have to be left out of the runaing, but it’s probably better to be “bumped off’ at a primary than to make another race at the general elec- tion and then defeated.

May- be it should have lasted past that elev- enth hour. Now Germany has invadea Poland and started another war of { conquest. This time Germany strikes first to the east instead of the w How long it will take to halt Germany again and how many men must die, how many graveyards ill be filled, who can say?
