His remarks cannot be re­ garded along the line of campaign harrangue. The efforts seem to be directed in desire to furnish his con­ stituents with a statement of public account, and to acquaint them with the condition of national affairs «s they exist.

He quotes facts and fig­ ures to justify the tenor of his logic. Among those with whom he is con­ cerned in a private business capac­ ity Mr. Copley is regarded as capable and fair-minded.
