that Sthe superstition about Senatorial
service shutting the door to Executive

The disappointment of Clay. Webster. and

reach the nomination for President. has
long been cited as an argument against
seeking eventual White House entrance
through the Senate door. Blaine was not

Smith would lead the quartet in public

and cheerful way Of coming in contact
with citizens who have the habit of at

highbrow impressiveness of Borah would
attract admiration of the sort that Is
aroused by the tragedian or orator Of the

would more than equal the impression

Cummins is not especially noted as an
