 Haines. the ahest political reporter in Washington, had come to the Inter- national 10 interview the new senator, to describe for his paper what kind of a citizen Langdon was. He glanced around at the dingy woodwork, the worn cushions. the nicked and uneven tiles of the hotel lobby. and smiled at the clerk.

 Relieved at the departure of the wit pesses, Sanders showed increased az gressiveness "To be sure, senator. ,.ot, xrara aaraft,I mot to promise me anything for my support at the election, as you say" the leader sneered, but you had Jim Stevens to make promises for you, which was smooth, absolute am artistic smooth"-

 Haines smiled The chap who has played halfback four years on his col lege eleven and held the boxing cham pionship in his class is apt to be good natured.
