Howard's attention called TO the deplorob,e

struggle with Conking. and remarks that anyone

soon as as the Stalwarts able to pull them
selves together again they would discover that,
that man from Maine " was at the bottom Of this
crime.

proof of his utter mftness for public hfe As he
lacks also the qualities which make a man success

patton for him. On the whole a career like that Of
