playing very pretty game to secure for him the prize
First, 1t was announced last winter that he would
not accept the nomination under any circum.

and OF principle, which has been discussed until dis
cussi0n Is exhausted and the importance Of which,
after ALL is realized by only few, whereas the imam
cia issue, though growing out of the constitutional
personal Welfare the importance Of Which every
one realizes; 1t touches the pocket. And un-
