Mr.. McVickar had not defined the

The vice president had convinced him
very thoroughly of the justice of the
railroad company's contention-that

While Mr.. McVickar was talking
Blount had rather hoped that his new
position would give him opportunities
to place the railroads point of view

and to do this he knew that he would
have to enter the campaign as a polit-
