asked about the west, he has said il

good as far as it goes. but ii is too
commonplace an expression to come
from a president. ANY body could 90

as much about il as that There is nc
satisfaction at all in such an answer.
The president failed in saving any.

He has been trimming his sails for the
national contest for the last year. All

from a political standpoint his trip
West was not only discouraging to
his friends heie i'll Office, but a keen
