Stories of Mr, Week’s generosity, and particularly his efforts: to. save the late Senator Brandegee's finances, which led to suicide, are well known among his friends, but he was not the kind who let his deeds in this direction become known. He was one of the most modest men in public life and also one of the efficient in the present generation of public- men. < (Copyright. 1926.) Four Members of Cabinet, Semator Weller 0d Gen.

But just here there is likely to be 2 hitch in the Buckeye philosophy of politics. It is rather difficult to think of a President of the United States being elected on the Democratic ticket without the support of New York. President Wilson accomplished the feat in 1916, it is true, but in that year all signs seemed to fail. Still, there is a feeling out here that New York would go e for Al Smith. only. It would not give its electoral votes to any. other son of the Democracy, and thus can be ignored by the outlanders.
