How ever, if one has failed to make a living as a merchant, mechanic or lawyer; knows nothing of science, literature, history or mathemetics, yet can offer himself as a candi date for high office by silent platitudes and look wise, he can often conceal his poverty of intel lect and trick the voter and thus secure place and power.
