Excerpt from The Man Pinchot: A Character Sketch of the Popular Candidate and Answer to Candidate McSparran There are many stand - patters and office-holders who say that if Gifford Pinchot is elected Governor there will be a cleaning out on the hill.

And there is no abler group of men in the whole United States today.
