Z j. III. Paul said that his candi-

He had been tried In positions re-
, curing Observation-Disclosures and cool
Judgment and action. He had every
qualification fora first-elass marshal.
This man was Gilbert A. Mclean, a
man OF the workiugman. APP

Is neighbor Of mine, and is not a
man TO boast Ofwhat he will do IL he
is marshal. He is made Of sterner
stuff than TO blow his own horn.
But In the Office you will know that
there Is a man at the belm; and. that
man IL, Gilbert a. Mclean. ZAP
