Among the campaign utterances of Mayor Thompson had been a promise to oust "that stool pigeon of King George," Superintendent McAndrew. The color of the epithet was derived entirely from the Thompson campaign scheme. He and his friends were out to startle the electorate with an unrivaled display of Americanism, much as a vulgar hostess will try to startle society with her flamboyant Persian or Turkish or Hawaiian ball.

...powerful trilogy of forces ceaselessly exert themselves to oust the bespectacled Doctor; and therefore he won a momentous point last week, by securing the extension of his contract.

Such quo warranto (by what right) proceedings would have been based on the argument that Governor Small took oath as Governor while in possession of funds illegally secured during his term as treasurer, that, under such circumstances, he had no right to hold the office of Governor and should therefore be removed from it. If quo warranto action was instituted...
Early last week Dictator Ibanez demanded the Chief Justice's resignation which was refused. Only the President of Chile could declare the office of Chief Justice vacant; and naturally the President refused thus to oust his own brother, the Chief Justice. What...
