sbility belongs to congress. They declare
that ins other matters OF legislation he
whips congress into line with his viewt
and policies and that he dictates the ac-s
tione OF all state officials. In the next
breath they declare that he is only a

politicians and that he has no strength

surround him. In the next breath they
