Give Standish read and re-read this

hint OF the previous afternoon, that
there was a certain discomfort and
vague rumor OF treachery. in more
than one OF the multiiarious branches
OF the Boss's business and political In
terests For the unexpected strength
developed by the Civic League and
the eloQuence OF its candidate had
shaken divers OF the enemy's less res
olute followers, and more than one OF
these might readily seek To curry
favor with the winning side by cast
ing just such an anchor to windward.
In any case. there was the letter.
