"The man who becomes a can
didate for office with the intention
of exercising a purifying influence
over latterdav politics is up against
a more hopeless proposition than
confronts the woman who marries
a drunkard to reform him.”—Al
bany Herald.
The man to purify must have
the elemenmnts of purification in
his own make up, otherwise the
ingredients will fail to purify.
