Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... candidacy, Mr. McNair, but we've heard nothing of your principles. Mc Nair: My principles? I'm for the sovereignty of the State--for no interference from Congress--no restrictions on our Constitution. I'm against--Henry: Yes, we understand. You're against horse stealing and the Missouri Gazette. Mc Nair: Mr. Henry--Henry: No good telling us your principles, McNair. What you want is a neat card in the Enquirer to tell everybody.
