CHAPTER VIII.

bik NlIl
When his destiny had thus been
nicly nodded and polished and labeled
for him, he went home. A feeble in
stinct for self-preservation had re-
strained him from n positive pledge to
resign his future wholly to the direc-
ton of the political "boss." But he
had agreed to think it over serious
ly," by which he meant that he would
take John Latham's advice before ven
turing upon a political career. Ches-
ter Sewall found not a little comfort
for his self-loye in the cherished mis-
conception that his college education
made him superior to his almost self
taught friend. He would have been
much puzzled to define i'm what the
superiority consisted. Nevertheless
he chung to the idea, as men most OBJ
stinately do to those thing which are
purely matters of faith consciously
unsupported by reason. Of course, he
said to himself, a man who knew little
Latin and less Greek could not really
be his equal. He could not deny that
Johns p~urposeful and resolute char
acter and his ever ready knowledge OF
life were attributes in which he HIM
self might be slightly deficient, but
they were on a lower plane than he
had attained. He could afford to ac-
knowledge them without envying
their possessor, and it would be but
natural and proper for him to avail
himself of them as upon occasion he
might condescend to employ the mus
cular forces of a builder or a black
smith. In Johns proper, though un-
deniably inferior field any judgment
he formed would probably be correct,
any advice he gave likely to be good
and anything he undertook most like
ly to succeed.
John just at that time was not in
the humor to claim SO much for him

It. One Of the principal objections to
the admission of proxies has been that
many states came without them. and
in order to have justice done to all
they were prohibited. But if all the
states should come prepared to have
their full quota of delegates repre-
scented in person or by proxy, possibly
they may be accepted this year. All
the clubs that belong to the general
federation are certainly interested in
its welfare. but many cannot afford TO
send a delegate, or more than one,
when they are entitled to others. These
clubs have paid their dues and feel
they should not, through lack Of means,
be deprived of an expression of inter-
est in its government.

clubs of your state to send their prox-
les to Milwaukee either by you or by
