The board of managers of the National Home

members, elected by Congress, the President of
the United States, the Chief Justice, and the Sec

are Democrats, with the one exception OF Gen.

to take the place of General Martindale before his
term had expired Republican congressman
should closely scrutinize any law or change of law
recommended by this board. The old board got
along with the law as II is, and the different
branches grew, fourished and became homes In
