Mckinley's process of cabiret-bui!ding, it's various difficulties and adjustments, and outlines the note- worthy characteristics of the PresI- dents official family as finally selected both individually and in ensemble. The article further defines "the larger ex- ecutive group at Washington'-the various assistant secretaryships, and important bureau headships, and so far as possible the reader is informed as to the personnel and status of these important offices for the coming four } years.

It's a wonder to me that the pea-and shell men and the gold brick operators give this town the go.by. There is lots of stuff here for them. The public here are lot of stifTs.
