bic for them to be, and II the head OF
the ticket is not successful the dis

retirement from the navy department Is
due TO dissatisfaction with the present
ADMINISTRATORS policy II was Mr.. Longs
earnest desire many months ago TO lay
down official cares, and he would have
done so ere this had II not been for the
