I thought there was some good in him after all and that, if I took him in hand, I could make a man of him yet.
I did take him in hand, a few years ago.

My friends told me it would be the Brutus Leary business all over again, but I didn't believe them.
I put my trust in "The." I nominated him for the Assembly, and he was elected.

A year afterwards, when I was runnin' for re-election as Senator, I nominated him for the Assembly again on the ticket with me.

What do you think happened?
We both carried the Fifteenth Assembly District, but he ran away ahead of me.

Just think! Ahead of me in my own district! I was just dazed.
