this state is Charles r. Hughes. The most
conspicuous and ft representative Of this
federal government is Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States The, honest
poor man who has felt the crushing power
of unfair wealth may take heart, for the
most powerful personality of our genera
ereatest office IN orr land Is leading the
