that th reason he now haa no platform?
"I am glad that Mr. Breen has finally
come out and said something about muni

concerned about public aervlce corporation

always get a fair enough deal. I believe,
however, that we ahould bi more con

fairly. If Mr. Breen had given a half

could not afford the propoaed reduction,

while Mr. Breen we speaking, a gentle
