convention or that Colonel smith, his especial friend
in the convention (of whom he had spoken rather

Inasmuch as he didn't understand how to WOlh the
ncyfanglcd thing one Of his friends volunteered 10
conduct the conversation for him.
Naiorr he said. Colonel Smith says that your
rival Judge Jones, IS making great Roadway with the
delegates and that Il would be well for YOU TO let

they had defined his position upon every ques ton OF
mbllc interest and great many questions which
are OF no interest whatever Martin had never heard
Of most Of them. but he answered just well as most
Of the fellows who have could have done.
when they were weary with laughter the humorists
told him that Colonel smith thought his renominatiOn
and rc-elec lion were assured. which prediction
subsequently, came true. The Major has always had
great liking for telephones ever since
