MAn oath means nothing to a woman,
awl, as Horace has so truthfully ex
prwted It. 'when a woman starts out
to perjure herself all h cannot keep
hr record.' " Of course It was n
al&take; Colonel Lewis, of Virginia
and Seattle and Chicago, denies that
he said it that way. His birthplace
at Danville in Virginia, his alma
water In Georgia and his constituency

didate of Washington aro loft un
