tho generation which secs itself deflected
in him, sees beauty and greatness in the
reflection. Bellevale was physically re
flected in Brassfield. Therefore Belle-
vaie raised him on the shield of popa
larity. One may see this reflected In tlie 1
conversation of Major Pumphrey, one of
Bellevale’s solid citizens, with Mr. Smiui,
who owned the department store, on the
morning after the caucuses.
"Rainer lively times. I hear,” said Ma
jor Pumphrey, catching step with Mr.
Smith on their walk down town. "Rather ■
lively times at the caucuses last evening.
“Really,” answered Mr. Smith, 'T don i
know. I never attend caucuses. Every
one has his friends, you know, and by
not taking sides one saves many enmi- j
ties.”
"I don’t agree with you

“That's certainly true.” was Mr.
Smith’s answer. Mr. Brass-field is an
enterprising citizen, broad and liberal,
safe and sane, and fully in touch with
tiie great business interests of the coun
try. His nomination will reflect credit
<_n Bellevale.”
Inasmuch as such citizens as Conlon.
Pierson, Slieelian and Zalinsky were
equally well contented, no one, it would
seem, ought to have been dissatisfied.
The fact that Mr. Brassfield’s success
meant the giving away of Bellevale's
streets to Brassfield's interurban trolley
line must be considered in connection
u ith the fact that Bellevale seemed only
too anxious to give them away.
One must look* at such things from all
sides, if one is to come to a satisfactory
conclusion. Miss Waldron, having a
keenly personal interest in the matter,
and. being a member of tlie cultured and
leisure class, endeavored to do this. Her
conclusions, both personal and political,
seetn to be fully set forth in a letter
which she wrote to her friend Estelle in
New York.

As they walked along the street ther
