\ veteran member OF the house of repre-
senta.ives WAS recently asked which is the
great American game. baseball Or draw poker.
lis answer was: Neither. The great Ameri-
can game ispolitics. That is game at which
millions play, and but few win. The cards
are the white ballots which fall in the box,
the stakes fame cad erno.uments. Politics is
likc poker in that it is partly a game Of
chance, but one in which nerve. skill and
iiressc are OF more Importance than luck.
Like poker, it is a game OF human nature.
The man who doesn't know human nature,
who cannot read faces and guess purposes,
cannot DO a Successful poker player. Nor
can he win at politics. st poker, as a poll
tics, the man with tho longest purse has an
apparent advantage at ths beginning OF the
game, but in the end the poor though skillful
player is likely 70 be at the head of the pro-
csssion, while the rich man and bis money
have been soon parted
III OF which sounds like good philosophy.
coming, as It does, from one who is better
poker player than politician, and a good
enough politician to hold a congressional
seat away from score Of ambitious men
