who was a conscientious worker in
the many undertakings in which he was
engaged.
1T is an easy matter to pay tribute
to his worth. He was a gentleman Of
splendid pOiSe, of mental attainment
which he balanced by so fine a sense
Of justice that all who knew him re-
spected him and admired him.
The sObriquet which he has prop
erly earned and which was a tribute
to disposition that radiated sun
shine and good will, readily explains
the warm affection in which he was
held by the many thousands who had
come into personal contact with him
The sympathy OF ali his friends
goes out to his widow and children,
with whom ne dwelt in a relationship
which may well be termed ideal The
sorrow of a nation viii be aroused by
the news of his death. In the many
tender tributes which will be paid
publicly and privately to his memory
viii be found evidence of the Opti-
mism and sunlight shed among his as
soc1ates- To these, I would add my
own, the more certain and sincere be-
cause of the close official and per-
sonal relationship that existed be-
tween US and the opportunity thus Of
Tered me for an appreciation of his
sterling and beautiful character"

HfUes of the Republican national com

a meeting of the national committee

for candidates for either president or
vice president and the death of Mr.
