the civil service now is, as
all know, it has some men OF tried |
integrity and proved ability. Such |
men and euch men only should he |
retained in office but no man should |
be retained on any consideration |
who has prostituted his Office to the

was engaged in the Hungarian re-

suppression o! the revolt, he became
refugee and sought an aaylum, a
home, in the United States. He de-
clared his intention to become a
