not let nm forget, his conduct and
acticns IN that memorable campaign
OF 1912. This "stand-pat" Kepubn-

OF onc-that assessed the Federal OF
lice holders-Iaft appointees of Vlr-
ginla, knew perfectly wen that great
majority of the Republicans in Nir-

throughout the United States, were
more favorable TO the candidacy ot

but that great privilege that he once
enjoyed, in assessing, and collecting by
system of follow-ups, insinuation OF
dethroncment, and duns, to collect
his assessments from the Federal Of

and enjoy; for the great and sufficient
reason that the Federal Office holders
