city government, the wolves fierce your track
and very overhaul nearly the last of you
Bear with u.s. then while offer a few hints suggest
ed by your delicate and rather peculiar position.

YOUR OFFICIAL DESTINY. Trying to hunt up some

keep you in If he really tries, is very mean business
If he dees it, he thereby subjects himself detestaon
and the loss Of his legitimate influence in his party
and what right have you to impose such load upon
him! Men in your situation cannot well afford TO de-
spise themselves. You have right to forget that

whose prosperity you shared, whose you claim
ed to have promoted, and whose name you proud

with dignity, at least with decency
2. DoNT CLAIM EXEMPTION FROM THE COMMON LOT
ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YoU SECRETLY WORKED AND
