Andrew Johnson, who also suffered
from tho lack of mental discipline

ability, so essential in a governor,
of gfasping questions in their

has been that of counsellor in
great operations rather than as a
pleader or a routine lawyer. His
clear head, astute perception, sound
judgment, common sense, and rare
executive capacity have been priced
