After five years : the quinquennial record of the class of 1908, Princeton university . s a friend, quit him and lose the job before you begin. During the recent wave of popular and Princetonian enthusiasm, whichcarried our fearless leader into the White House, I drifted to politicsunder the delusion that what the country wanted was men of fearless honestyand positions of trust;—maybe it was—but it didnt want me. What the localmachine did to me is an old story, and Im not the only white-souled patriotlying in an unmarked grave. For the last year I have been too busy trying to save money and learnthe stove business to mess around on the outside, except when I bought me anairdome. If anybody tells you there is money in the moving-picture showbusiness, he is right. There is lots of money in it, and some of its furthermore, very little of it will ever come out. After my five years under the cold shower of the wide, wide worldabout all I can say is that my coat is off and I am still in the ring. Whether Garvin figured that a reduction in the tariff would hurt the. .32 stove business or not, we do not know—but anyway he is a Suffrage: No. Favorite sports : Tennis and golf. Social work:Yes, a club for newsboys. As to traveling, Garvin writes: Only as a traveling salesman, doing theone-night stand in the dump towns of Indiana and Ohio. Might be termedintensive travel as the opposite of extensive travel. Referring to his political activities, Garvin adds: Ran for the nom-ination of the State Legislature of the Democratic Primaries and wasdefeated May, 1912. Organized a First Voters Club of 1,000 members andworked with the State Central Committee in the Wilson Campaign. Haveserved on election boards. I had no intention of going into the political did it simply because I was interested and wanted to get behind the scenesand know the men who are running the game. JOHN MARSHALL HILLS BRUCE (p) Mt.
