with the establishment of the republic he re-
ceived the governorship of the metropolitan

about forty years old. 1t is said, however,
that he is regarded as one of the coming
men in the Republican party and is pos

1920. His success as campaign manager
was demonstrated two years ago, when,
under his Craftsmanship of the state COM

cratic into the Republican column.
