which they thrust themselves upon
the President and the officials In
charge Of the executive Office. There
is a. glan1or and a peculiar attractive
ness about the White House that
works peculiarly upon many people.
Aside from the eold-blooded fight for
Office and position there are social
and advertising TEXTURES in connection
