or Trustworthy man in the State. and as far a.
his business talents are concerned he has not

always makes time TO lis;en to any one who de- |
sires an interview with him. One or my principal
reasons for advocating bis interests is that he |
is politician " the purest type and strongest
integrity. Jhe people need his services, and
the probabilities are that they will be secured"
