 By James Hay. Jr. Doubleday, Page & Co. Publishers Garden City. New York This novel. "The Man Who Forgot" by James Hay. IT,, presents with dramatic effect a great national issue of today, It is the vision of a people awakened, a picture of American democracy rising triumphant over special interests and party creed and demanding a nation wide prohibition.
 The dominating figure throughout is the man who forgot. Organizing with tireless en1rgy, firing the nation with his tremen- dous enthusiasm and inspired vision John smith carries on his great fight against the thing that has destroyed all memory of his past. even the knowledge of his own name

 The final great scene where thousands from every corner of the land pour into Washington on a given day, and with ban ners flying and choirs singing march on to the capitol, fires the imagination as the crusades of old.
