mistook him for a 'fashionable.' But they unite in deploring
the tendencies and the aims and the influence of the people
who are by common consent regarded as the leaders of the
most fashionable 'society' of the country."

the Borough of the Bronx-the Smart Set call for it,
the Four Hundred cry for it. In Kentucky it is the

believe in Democracy unterrified and undefiled, and
