Harrison appealed strongly. T6 me, from
spicuouS figure on the horizon of the
world. My father was an earnest adj
mirer of the general. One of the rhalac-

ed my profound respect-his fearless in
dependence and stand for what he be-
lieved to be right and just, OFTEN in the
face of adverse opinion of his own p0-
litical party and friends.
