II had been remarked that while
almost all others had been por-
trayed in the newspapers, little or no
attention had been paid to two can

these would-be city officials was con-

the voting public. So efforts were
promptly made to right palpable
wrong. Magee. 1t was discovered, re-

fin private life IS known by the classy
appe1lation of "Bull'' Magee. Just
why the strong title was conferred
upon him Is not specifically known,

high standing. 1t would surely be
a shame to let these men pass un-

forth and Quayle was the first sought
for the picture process. He was found

to shine as leader of the cotillon in
upper ten society but a delinquent
iaundryman may have been partly
responsible for that.

sight of the man with the camera the
bashfulness in his nature spouted TO
