his article Mr.. Bucl says:
a president who should not carry in

would bc president only i'll name, even
as regards his moro important duties.

Presidents arc made for better or for

ties and strength, so they must servo,
some of them leaning OH official advisers
and bureaucratic clerks i'll every step
