Casting His Bread Unon the Voter
Young Sullivan did all these
things with an open hand, seldom
eXacting a promise in return. N
conceived that this old life IS tree
full of plums that grade in size al
the way from very small to very
large, and that If he shook the tree
for John. Tom, Jerry and Mike,
thus helping them to get theirs, that
three out of four of them, il the af-
fair we're properly managed, could

| Deliberately Roger began sys-
tenn of putting the world under obli-
| cation to himself He watched for
opportunities to do favors. Each
new favor got him power to do mere.
He has practiced this not only in
the precinct, ward and city, but
when opportunity offered he prac-
ticed 1t in the State and nation. He
not only practiced it upon poll
ticians. whose aim was no different
from his own. but he practiccd it
upon his political enemies-as when
ten years ago he directed his Spring
field convention to instruct for
Hearst. And tho bread usually
comes back! Fer instance, today,
when Rogers Senatorial boom is
getting under way, the Hearst
papers, usually so denunciatory, are
strangely silent,
Roger sullivan has also been
careful to bestow his favors upon
high causes and upon the leaders of
high causes one and another Of
whom, as | have interview them,
have confessed to me that their
Judgment OF the man is unavoidably
softened because Of such favors, as.
for instance, when dozen years
ago the ood-gcvernment forces
were nrging q resolution Mt Spring
field to permit Chicago to vote upon
a charter convention. Its defeat
seemed certain. until Sullivan, by
nod of his head, delivered forty
votes and saved the measure. The
bright particular example. of course,
and one that comes nearer to gain
ing Roger deathless fame, was at
the Baltimore Convention. when he
put Woodrow Wilson, his party and
the nation under oblieation 70 him
by his part in the nomination Of
that gentleman.
That act is Just now the greatest
political asset of Roger Sullivan. II
