ventiOn-the nomination of the Con-

ments TO make the nomination of

Alamedan told his friends about his
hopes and aspirations for his career in
Congress. He was modest and earnest
and he told those who had gathered
that he wanted TO be judged, not by
his promises, but by his deeds.

said, lin public life TO know that a man
is not judged by what he Promises, but
by what he does. 1 am willing to stand
upon what / have done in the State
