amenable TO those who elected him
and not to sclf-conStItuted bosses.
Political ma achines should be used for
the good OF the party and not the

eight years and am not yet ready to
sell my freedom for Il raitry political
position There are reforms which
must come in the administration OF
affairs In this county. but they will
never come through the agency or
