! Boss Cox who is millionaire through
politics, and man of great power in Gin
! cinnati and in this way even In the State
| at large, was the chief influence, it is
4 said, in having Mr.. Storer defeated for
Congress and again the chief influence in
| preventing his nomination as Assistant

a mission is said TO be despite Mr.. Coxs
opposition, though the Cincinnati boss
| would rather the gentleman went out OF
| the country than get anything at home
! Archbishop Ireland has, it is whispered,
been to a certain extent helpful in secur-
ing this appointment for MIR. Storer. But
