‘Watch Battle of Wits’ -

“The thing to watch in these maneuverings has hardly been hinted at in political comment as yet. It is the battle of wits: that will take place as one charmer moves in with another. That the President is very sure of himself goes without saying. But this time he may be a trifle too sure, . For this time he is not dealing with amateur reformers, with . ada'ing retainers, or with old wheel horses. “He-is playing political poker with a man more astute than himself, with a man who heads a political organization as canny and realistic as Indiana ever produced. And when better politicians are built Indiana will build them. We shall see some interesting developments.
