“There will be no third party but which of the old parties will win will depend on the candidates presented to the people. . . . The party that presents the progressive candidate will win. . . .”

Indian headdress (see cut). This is the third time in three months that the ambitious “Little Flower” has got out into the hinterland to let the people see what he looks and sounds like.
