We believe, from the indications of
the public temper, that not a man who
makes himself Il stumbling block to
the reasonable and satisfactory settle.

reelected. When u public Official puts
what he considers 10 be his personal
interests above and before the inter.

do all that enterprise and capital can

What more can the people want?
Do the people want to cast OF and

scheming political campaign mana gers,
an opportunity to test chimerical
