His speeches, like his conversation,
snap with slang. When he wants his
audience to know something is boloney
he says so. He always gets a little
fused and red in the face. and doesn't
stop long enough to consider his words.
Yet he conveys deadly sincerity. and
his very youthfulness and lack of his
trionic skill win his audience.
In the current campaign he has said
little, for the campaign hasn't yet
warmed up, and suspect that his ad-
visers have been telling him not to
say much of anything, for he has been
around telling what very fine airship
the new U. S. S. Akron Is. He helped to
christen it.
But the fun will begin when the
regular campaign speech of the full

ment type He will either make a ter
rible flop Of this kind of speech, or will
discard 1t entirely and say what he
really thinks. The latter is likely.

champions have. tremendous determi-
nation, grim singleness Of purpose to-
ward the Job in hand, and a refusal to
quit until the whole string has been
played out He has the combatiye spirit
in high degree. as illustrated by his
prowess in athletics.
He Is extremely democratic. good
quality for political success. He mixes
well with the apple knockers and cross
roads Blackstones of the Ohio Iegisla-
ture Apparently he has been able
to survive the gold braid of Washing

His wealth attracts party bosses and
treasurers. and he IS none too radical
in his views on government. He is reg
ular and subscribes to the established
order Of things.
The thing you'll remember chiefly
about Dave ingalls, Is his smile. When
it breaks out his cheeks crinkle until
his eyes become mere Sits and he looks
for all the world like one of those billi-
kens which used to be popular. He

smiles win votes. he ought to be sue
