that the political machine upon which
it looks askance has certain very def.
mite connections with men who are
engaged in business on a large scale,
and the suspicion which attaches to
the machine itself has begun to at.
tach also to business enterprise Just
because these connections are known
to exist. II these connections were
open and avowed, II everybody knew
just what they involved and Just what
use was being made of the alliance

trolling them by public opinion. But,
unfortunately, the whole process of
law-making in America is a very OBJ.

legislation, but there are many by.
ways"
At another lime he paid this hui.
morous tribute to publicity:
