to declare that political work In Phiadcl-

or four times a week and get mo- thanks
for it, not even from The candidates in
whose interest be went.

the Wanamaker people had gone to
/ Washington and swelied his head: that
his Penrose'sl people thought the prcsi-
dent was with them until hc made q cer-
