the like of which probably cannot
be found in the career of any other
man with legislative experience in
the siate. As a member of the
Third Legislature Logan never vot-

"Every time a bill came up,"
says Logan, "some friend of mine
in the house told me it was a good
bill and solicited my support, and
he got it. I can see no evil re-
