meetings OF the insurance and other companies In
which he is a director and takes an active part In
their movements or late he has given up all active
connection with politics, but Is still ardenly inter-
ested in the success of the Republican party His
interest in public affairs has never tagged and
twice a day he has the newspapers. morning ana
