is apparent that ne is a man OF his word
Even now, back in the mighty Com
monwealth whence he came, they recall.
with thrills OF emotion and enthusiasm.
his ringing words; not yet have the rever-
berations ceased. Passionately he pleaded
with his downtrodden fellow-citizens.
speaking and saying unto them thus:
Il pledge you my word. my felloW-citizens that
if you. the most intelligent men Of the great Com

This proposition is whether tr,sts are good or
bad. I say they are bad, and propose to destroy
them"
There may be those who doubted the
Senator'S fell determination as herein
expressed Happy are we to say we
never did. We just knew he would do it;
hence experienced no sort of surprise
when, after day or two OF silence fol-
lowing bis swearing-in. he introduced n
