Most of it revolves around a gentleman whose name is .fairly new nationally, but who happens to be the Democratic nominee for United States senator, seeking the toga now adorning George W.

Burkes theory is that perhaps a national committeeman should be for the whole ticket As he is not for the whole ticket he wonders if he should not resign.
