AVENUES TO GREATNESS. HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN. HIS is harder than is generally supposed, for almost every man has instincts which are dif- ficult to quell. By faithful effort, however, much can be accomplished in a short time. You should first engage in some re- spectable busi- ness, such as running abar room, an express company ora rail- road, which give you enough ready cash —— to use among the boys and |” others. You must bear in ' mind from the beginning, that the mass of the people and their material wel- fare have nothing to do with the game, and are to be worked only just before election. And you must get rid of the idea that ‘that government is best that governs least.” With you any law is good which serves your purpose, and as you rise in power the boys will always have to be provided for. You will be criticised of course by the few outsiders who are not in the game, but you will soon become hardened, and then your success is assured. Tr. M. comicbooks.com
