This is penalty for uncertain health
such as few men have been called upon
TO pay. Mr. Blaine has a laudable ambi.
tion TO be President. He has ability,
knowledge, experience and fitness for
the Office lac is the strongest man and
would be the strongest candidate Of his
party. Growing his other service to
his country ne has recently won cen
spicuous victory for peace With honor
against the brutal buster Of
imitation iingoism and the cold blooded
scheming OF selfish politicians. The prize
Of nomiuation at least hopeful In It's
possibilities is within his grasp, but he
may not take It. II Is the irony OF fate
