years but the ambition of the Cllbersons
is made of stern stuff. Gov, Culberson' s
grandfather had been Governor and his
father a senator, he intended to live up
to the family traditions. As a matter of
fact, he was always called Governor"
the title is much shorter and easier to
say than lieutenant governor" At the
beginning of the decade, when he had just
retired from the lieutenant governorship,
Gov" Culberson was the most prominent
figure in our section of the state. He strove
with every power he possessed, consist
cnt with dignity, to retain the position.
He was as erect and hearty as young
athlete and as particular in his appear
ance, as a bridegroom waiting for his
bride. In the meantime, his wife, a beau
tiful oid-time gentlewoman had died, and
his children had all moved away, but the
fine old-fashioned figure remained among
the ruins OF the home sull staring at the
prize which should consummate MS ca
leer.
Early in the spring of the eventful year
Gov" Culberson made his first call on
Sam Wilson al the Herald office-the once
noted Sam" now only memory in the
minds of those queer gray old newspaper
men. who have come down to us from an
other generation. The Governors" ba-
rouche drew IN to the curblng before the
office, and the Governor" himself follow
cd the steps of many another illustrious
man up the dingy stairs, until he penetrat-
ed TO the presiding genius of the place,
seated In his little untidy temple, with
the sacrihcial piles of dusty newspapers
around him. In the history of the under
side of things. which will never be pub
lished, Sam Wilson was the greatest hg-
ure in his state. Other men made fame
and history; Sam Wilson made the men.
And many an uniformed soul. from the
outer world which surrounds politics, had
clambored up there, pleading to be made,
and many men famous in local history
had come in submissively at all hours
of the day and night to beg favor or
to ask advice. and many letter came
into that old black walnut desk franked
from the White House itself, asking in
formation from the man, who knew more
about the state than any one else alive,
and who did not fear to tell the truth
about it.
When Gov" Culberson opened the door
Of Sam Wilson'S little den he recognized
in dim way that he had reached a crisis
In his affairs. He had never himself eX
perlenced the power of the man, yet he
had often observed it in the fortunes Of
others Sam Wilson sat before him at his
desk, a gray ola schoolmaster of politl-
cans, staring at him over his gold-bOwed
spectaoies Wilson showed no surprise at
the visit; sooner or later they all came up
TO him. Yet, IN ms SruH way, ne was
very cordial He shook hands warmly,
cleared a chair for his visitor from the
accumlations of papers and rose and
closed the glass door. Then the two old
men sat down together. waiting for the
first move-the one with the hope in his
breast for the fulhllment of the ambition
Of his life, and the other able in a sense
TO give il to him, or at least to get At
for him.
But the Culbersons are not the stun that
suppliants are made of. The Governor"

In some parts of the country there may
be still isolated specimens of the type Of
ex-Lieut. Gov. Culberson. With us he
remained for years the last solitary repre-
sentative Of the fine old-fashioned politi-
cal leader, who lived with the ideals of
Webster and Calhoun and Clay still be-
fore them. His tall and stately figure, his
smooth-shaven face. his stock and his
long-tailed legislators coat, of the type
preserved in famous statesmens pictures,
but now extinct as the dodo In real life,
all remained sin fixed in the minds OF
those who were honored in many speeches
by his opening apostrophe OF fellow citl-
zens" In the smallest detail of life he
conducted himself with the dignity becom-
ing man on whom thousand eyes are
fixed; his very use of his handkerchief
was a survival of the days of snuff; his
speeches, his few critics declared, were
things of magnificent distances.
Ex-LAeut. Gov. Culberson had waited
ten years 20 be Governor hungering and
thirsting, but expecting fervently to be
fed. Ten years is a considerable Slice
out of an individuals life, but 1t Is
rather less than II usually takes for
the governorship to revolve around TO
our section-and then we have to divide
it between ourselves at the county sea,
at Westchester. and the manufacturing
town of Johnsonville. ten miles away.
