Mr. Short: Q. Now, Mr. Crutchfield, how can I help you? A. By George, we got to change the hearts of the people; that's what you have got to do, and vote for people that can deliver the goods; the Standard Oil Company is bigger than the Government; the crooks in the United States is bigger than the Government. Q. Now, Mr. Crutchfield, is there anything else? A. Not a thing in this world. Q. If you know of anything we can do, will you call our attention to it? A. I will Q. Do you know of any open joints in town? A. No, never go about them.
