I'd like to place my preferential votes for 'Pure food and milk' and the 'Sun-ray treatment' in that order, please.

I wondered about the Orphans promise. Were they promising to make more Children orphans?

I see no problem: they promised "old age pensions" and "orphans pensions", isn't it?

Yes, The Unrepentant Dilettante I am aware of that. However it is typographically confusing. The other promises are mentioned on the same line - whereas it is orphans on one line and pensions on another line - thus separate and not necessarily connected.
