war on Sullivan is being made by n
race or class of people Of the district.
This contest comes through the be-
LIEF that Paddy Sullivan is not the
right sort OF man to be a leader of this
district" he said. He is not a good
mixer and has not been a man who
has really lived among the peopl of
his district.
There is a new element here as
compared with conditions n genera
ton ago. There has been a great
change. Even Big Tim would have Ia
aunt that. and Paddy is not the sort
OF maj his brother was.
PADDY has not been the satisfac-
tory representative Of the people Of
the district and that Is the reason why

with him the leadership Of the dis.

him and asked him to run against

against the Sullivans. He says:
THE contest only indicates that the
voters do not want a Sullivan in name

There Is great activity politically

BIG TINS IDEA OF A LEADER.

2 IG TIM SULLIVAN had his own idea of what constituted a leader
- among men. and this sis how he expressed it:
"No fellow who is leading people by any trick will get very far
with the crowd behind him. If he isn't o the level he will soon be a
water carrier or chopping feed for lame horses.
"Al this talk about psychological; power and personal magnetism.
over men is fine business for pretty writing. but when you get down
to brass tacks it's the work that does the business. What would
Cookers personal magnetism have amounted TO if he had not worked
early and late:
Most men are lazy and do only what they have TO do for their
immediate comfort, lots of men are uncomfortable born without tn.
ability to think for themselves, and other men, for no known reason
in the world. have to have some one TO look to rs Il leader for them.
Every community has to have sone mar who can ,ahe the trouble
to look out for their public interests while they arc earning their
living. and it doesn't make any difference whether he's tall. short. Fat.
lean or humpbacked and with only half his teeth. if he's only willing
to work harder than any one else hes the fellow who will hold the Job
