east as the South Is concerned Here at least the
test is betw cen him and Buchanan And what is the his

into public life the representative Of the county of
Lancaster in the Legislature of Pennsylvania decided
ederalst opposing the war Of 1872 he went into the
Congress OF the United States the candidate fede

as 1920 how does he stand: We find him in Cen

find him in the OF 1924 when the election of Pre-

What turns out to be the fact in regard to this bargain

that in the month Of January 1925 Mr.. Robert B.

OF Henry Clay we find him extoled by men who during
his life, abused him unsparingly. We find that at
cen. celebration Of his birthday, at Slash Cot

he lived represented him everything bad lauded him
the great commoner and the greatest statesman OF this
country. That was the man whom Nj Buchanan sought
