Candidate Kohler, relatively a newcomer to politics, laid no emphatic claim to party fame, Regular or Progressive.

Last fortnight this press-agent for Loew's Vaudeville Circuit turned his talents on another female pair, the Gibb twins, Mary and Margaret, joined since birth and recent members of a Coney Island freak museum.
