There is thing to be said in his favor-he has
given a busnesslike administration. However
l think that the dignity of the place demands some
thing more than mere business man.

paign the wishes of the young men must be con-
sidered more than they have been in the past. The

much more versatile man than the President. What
are the qualifications which he must possess? First
