When I go among them, I don't try to show off my grammar, or talk about the Constitution, or how many volts there is in electricity or make it appear in any way that I am better educated than they are.

They wouldn't stand for that sort of thing.

No; I drop all monkeyshines.
So you see, I've got to be several sorts of a man in a single day, a lightnin' change artist, so to speak.

But I am one sort of man always in one respect: I stick to my friends high and low, do them a good turn whenever I get a chance, and hunt up all the jobs going for my constituents.

There ain't a man in New York who's got such a scent for political jobs as I have.
