Says Enemies Need Money Despite the years that have interned he has little love yet for his 'litical enemies and when he spoke them the old flash of fire came inhis eyes. Said: "Yes, I have a lendid practice of law, and a nice me I don't owe a cent to any man d my health is almost perfect. For is I thank God and to him I pray ch day to bless my state and nation even those who contributed so uch money in past campaigns to try id beat Blease and who today need at same money so badly to save em from financial ruin." fVO FERGUSONS IN JACK LONDON FILM elen and Casson, Who Had.
