"Does he believe this to be still a land of democracy or has his mind been so completely influenced by the views of his nominator to think that the new nationalism has already been put in operation here, that the con- stitution with provisions for equality has already gone out of existence and that his friends have so soon established the classes which go with aristocracy, and monarchial government and which might in his eyes justify a man of his class in referring to a representative of the business men of -the state as an up-start?
