At'tor tho nomination of tho lamb-llko governor, tho first display or activity mado by tho Fussy was a wholo-soulod offort to socTiro tho oppolntmont as socrotary of tho.stato land board. But ovon as Cassius donlod Brutus cortain gifts of gold, sd the governor rofusod to pormlt Jimmy to cavort in tho land ofllco pasture. It was tlion that Brother Smoot, of which politician Jimmy wns (,ho (US-covoror, (US-covoror, for ho snys so himsolf, roaohod out for his modest henchman and installod him as clerk of a senate committoo.
