An old man who had voted the Republican ticket for years without any result cam# down off the mountains on hla old mare Jenny and hung around the public square till he became finally of the opinion that Republicans were ungrate ful. He at last turned his horse's head toward his mountain home, when some of the boys who sat on the piazza of the hotel at Frankfort called out to him and asked him what he looked so glum about. He stopped his more and said, slowly: " 'Well, boys, I've heard It said that the office should seek the man and not the man the office. I’ve been down here for several days and haven't seen any office seeking the man, but If you do, you just tell them that you seen Jim Stubbs going down the Alexandria pike on his little mare Jenny, and that he was going d—n slow.' "If there are men around the country who are prophesying about Brother Knox and myself, I want to say that the only handicap he has had In the race—that of not being a Yale man— was removed today when he was given a Yale degree."
