Excerpt from Party Leaders of the Time: Character Studies of Public Men at Washington, Senate Portraits, House Etchings, Snapshots at Executive Officers and Diplomats, and Flashlights in the Country at Large The public men of our time are much talked of but little known. It is the aim of this book to make their personalities clear, to make visible human beings and not mere names out of them. No one familiar with Washington life can doubt that the opportunities for making such studies belong to the newspaper correspondents in greater measure than to any other men who come to meet and know our statesmen. Whether these opportunities have been well used in the present work or not is for the reader to say. All the writer claims is that he has had these opportunities as Washington correspondent of the New York Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and that, having them, he has set down what he believes to be the absolute truth, without fear or favor. Washington is the head centre for American public men, and the writer has confined his sketches chiefly to the men met there.
