OF course. there ore dark horses who
are just dark. They themselves arc
rather of tho chameleon tendency. Put
them on a pilo OF money, and they
assume n gentle. greenish tint, spotted
with gold. Put them on n radical plat
form. and they get streakcd with anar-
chistic red Put them under the steam
roller, and they turn pale. Put them in
convention where the solid Southern
Republicans have control, and they are
Il blend of black and tan. Put them In
nomination. and they wrap themselves
in the iridescent brilliancy OF the Star
Spanglcd Banner.
The best trait & dark horse can have
is that he is broken to follow the middle
of the road. He also feeds from the
hand. The presidential dark horse is
a leap in the dark generally. Each side
Is willing to take n chance, in the HOBO
that the sombre envelope may contain
a butterfly after their hearts desire.
He may turn out to DO mule for obs.i-
macy or content himself with shedding

The most famous dark horse was brand
ed w. j. b. He has not yet belied the
brand. His darkness was only momcn-
tary. AS soon as the limelight was
turned on him he became incandescent
since that time. though he has passed
through a considerable amour, of
gloom his pristine anonymity of dark
ness has never returned. lie has darls
designs, nothing more.
In conclusion. let 1t be said that
dark horse often means a dark outlook
for the inttiators OF his sable fame.
