Among other offices Quay st@
held down the advantageous T.
treasurer Of Pennsylvania. and nj
in that position he had the c1ia I
commonwealth at bay and bad! Z
Surprising as 1t may seem, hosvx
BODY suffered from this untxV
mesalliance of Quay and the ~
might have turned out otherwiN
not been for Don Cameron. On.
the cash seemed painfully vla9
broken In spirit, Cameron, w
got a thing but money, came Z

is the regular Cameronian systsa

Now that Cameron has deoal'

unchecked lord Of all things =
has produced Penrose to be hh .
In that body. Penrcse is that 60
