strongly adhered to by both sides."

"I have just come from a meeting of leading manufacturers," said Mr.
Acton, "and they wished me to express to you their urgent request, I
may say solicitation, that you will veto this bill."

After Mr. Acton's departure, Quincy rang for his secretary, to whom
he delivered the papers containing his official decisions.

Mr. Williams was renominated for the position that he had so long and
so ably filled.

As members of "The Industrial Expansion Commission" nine
manufacturers were named, one for each of the leading industries of
the State, chosen independent of known or presumed political
affiliations; Mr. Collingwood's name was not among them.

A vigorous veto of the bill giving a private corporation control of
public property was sent to the Senate.

The "peaceful picketing" bill was signed.

The door opened, and a pretty face looked in.

"Come in, Maude--I've just finished." As the secretary withdrew,
keeping his eyes fixed on the governor's youngest sister, she
advanced slowly into the room. The door closed automatically and
Maude tip-toed to her brother's side, returning his welcoming kiss.

"What's his name?" she asked, pointing towards the self-closing door.
