believed, make a strong member of the

interest in educational matters. and
is in a position to give the time and

with similar motives of rage and ven-

loyal Republican voters might be visit-
ed upon them for turning the election
over the Democrats, they devised
the shrewd scheme of Iayln; the
blame for the defeat on the ministers,
because two of tho ministeis had at-
tended the caucus; and the very men
who had most to do with defeating
their own ticket have talked loudest
about. ministerial interference. simply
to save themselves."
“Are you sure of this?"
“Perfectly sure; because one of the
men on the inside told me. and told
me at the saute lime of other deals as
disgraceful. Moreover, a leading Dem-
ocratic politician told me that he did
,not believe for an. instant that the
Ministers' Association was interfering
or trying to run things. but because
the cry of interference held certain
elements to the lieiuocrullc ranks and
attracted Republicans who did not
