"Mr. Breed would like to see you for
a few minutes before you 60"
'Hepperdon, about how much pohti-
cal influence do you actually C0ntrol? p
asked Breed.
More than any one aggregation OF

United States Representatives and half
a dozen governors and minor officials,

as men who were not for sale, but the
rest, the vast majority, were divided
into groups, one owned" by Hopper
don, another by Raymer, another by
Valentine, etc, and the names were
IN some places cross grouped showing
that certain of the senators and cen
tain Of the representatives served sew
eral nonconf11cting interests. The dia-
gram told at glance precisely how
every man would vote on this bill.
