Even Senator Kittrede's best friends
must admit that he was not big
enough to retire from the senate
without showing bitterness over de-
feat and q lack of manly consideration
for the rights Of others more fortu-
nate and more favored Of the people.
When any public official forgets the
power Of the people and neglects
their rights In defense OF corporate
interests, his days are numbered.
Not only is this true of Kittredge
but every other official who follows
him must remember the lesson.
