He was equally frank aud answered
that he had some ambition in that

CATION.
Governor MaoCorklO's ~frankuess in
discussing his political actions has
led to tho charge that no is indiscrooL
thus lacking tho moit essential quality
OF n successful politician. Whatever D
truth there Is in this criticism | Will
leave Tor other. TO discuss. Some things
he has said aud dods suem to bear on.

disguise n political motive for certain
acts, such MS, Tor instance, tho securing
