have always wished that Tom Reed
might some day be the Republican nom

now to note the manner in which he is
being brought into constant, mention by
all the leading papers. Reed is one OF
the great men of the nation Not by his
political speeches alone is he to be- Judged
but by his nom partisan lectures as well
In these he gives evidence of that mas

days and which makes him tower as a
giant above the average public man. In
the house, Tom Reed uses the proper
weapons sarcasm, wit and skilled parlia-

John B. Cough used to say that he
knew good many people who had three
