Appears Very Tired
He came smilingly into the room,
nodding right and left to men he
recognized. 1t was plain he was
tired - dead tired. His big frame,

81 have written statement" he
said. (which will be handed to you.
There is nothing particular to odd to
it except that 1 am going to tRke
real rest of several days and that
will not during that time do any
thing of moment. 1 have cOncentra-
ted upon one object, as you know,
during the period that ended last
night and I will appreciate the
chance to rest up"
do you wish to make any com

landslide?" he was asked.
''I have referred to that condition
in a sentence of my statement" he

his head up and frmness was in the
deliberate emphasis on theories"
and facts.
"Will you go fishing during these
days of rest?"
"My mind has not cleared from
the concentration of these last weeks
sufficiently to make a decision even
on that"
He led the laughter at this con-
fession of the utter inertia in which
The campaign has left him. 1t was
