to resent any overtures from the party
leaders in regard to a possible election

ket the entire Democratic rarity two

1t is safe to say that the position to
which he has been appointed will not
be Il wholly distaStefui one to Mr..

a safe haven for that length of time

airy is $500 per annum, only one-iifth
the salary of United States senator
it is true, but still quite tidy sum for
