munities Of the nation think

means powerful political leader

But he knows that there are
only 10 cabinet jobs 10 be filled;
so he knows. inescapably. that
he is milking 40 Of the 80
supporters under false pretenses.
The ratio of simple unadorned
dishonesty so far as the candi-
dates relation with the $50
supporters is concerned, is just

candidate rationalizes the whole
thing by telling himself that
