THE long expected thing has

for the presidency. He may have
acted wisely, but we think other

suicide on his part. He has placed
the republican party in compro-

As a politician, he is regarded as
success, but not a diplomat by a

too cratic, revolutionary and unsafe
and really a dangerous factor in
American politics. To his party
he has added insult TO injury.
