Therefore it is that the situation, ma
tional exigency, the crisis, call for the
right man. Therefore it is that a silent
and resistless revolution demands our
patriotic and best judgment. Individ-
uals are as nothing, and personal ambi-
tons are worse than nothing If the
chosen candidate fails in any sense or
in any degree fully and completely to
meet the call of the nation, he is DOOM
