there was a young man who
ran for the legislature, in Hi

So he went into business. He
failed. His friends knew that
his failure was due largely to a
worthless partner, but the young

failure.

running for Congress this time.
But he was overwhelmingly de-

somebody else.
He ran for the United States

Those who still had faith in

defeated. He was defeated
