descending star was caught just as
it was dipping over the political
horizon and sent whizzing back
over its course TO place high OPP in
the central aisles of the cerulean
McGraw, one of the first national
committeeman to place his sword
and service at the command of Will
son--the very first West Virginian
to name the Princeton as the win
ner-John 4. McGraw is the one
and the only Democrat from this
state who will find the White House
door swinging open for him when
he calls and will be welcome to
drape his legs gracefully upon the
presidents desk and talk it over

looking horde, to be sure, but 1t is a

days Of miracles are no more, 1t
will be an inspiring sight to see
Stewart Waterloo Walker pleading
with the colonel to give him the
ambition of his life which was and
is to be the United States attorney
for the northern district And 1t will
be just as interesting, if not as in
spring, to see what the colonel
really does hand to the defeated gen

Hop has had variety OF ambitions

colonel are personal friends, though
Sam and the colonel grew cool to-
