reader, 1t felt all along that Thomas
Is. hodges fully intended tt. accept
that nomination for congressman-at-
large filched from Col. Wylie Beall at
the Democratic state convention at
'Parkersburg by the bosses.
Dr.. Hodges in his letter Of accep-
lance undertakes to make the impress
Esionith the nomination came to him
by sDontaneity. The circumstances
leading UP to and after the conyen-
EtionS forcibly explode such an idea.
Enr. hodges knew several days before
The Sonvention that the bosses had
chosen him as the one to do their
bidding. After he learned this he
effected great sincerity in statement
thatshe could not relinquish the great
work at the university he had under
taken. and, therefore, he could not
leave the university until that work
was finished. The bosses paid no at
itention to that and Hodges, II he has
such discernment as the head of a I'M
iyersity should possess, could not
have been in full ignorance of what
was to be brought about at the con-
ventton. Senator Chiffon said be
knew all the ,time that Hodges was
TO b chosen. Beall was not long in
wiring Hodges just how he got his
1omination and who gave 1t TO him.
Because of the message on the part OF
lBea1 Hodges had to deliberate" He
had ito turn detective" in order to
hsceifain the manner Of his nominal

up q big blur, as he thought, hoping

Like an arrow released from the

The courage, the impulse of youth
shall come back

Though the sound OF our cheering
