LEWIS A. GOUDY OF PORTLAND.

W

HAT! You don't ]{now Goudy-Lewis A! That storm cloud in the western sky; That goad upon the ox's flanks; that small pestiferous, pesky fly; That keen, incisive restless man, that WOl'}.:er for the people's cause; '1'hat butter-in, that troublous man; upsetter of the settled laws: That fiery prophet of the times; that uncompromising foe to g'raft; That "lJerson" whose opponents swear is simply agitation-daft? Such estimates you freely hear in mixed opinions -of the man;Which only go to show that he's not built upon the common plan. lly notioll is, that, when a cause al)peals to him, as just and right, No power on earth can Goudy keep from boldly jOining in the fight; Aud when he's in it, to the neck, and walloping the other chap, They'd like to tadde Lewis A. and simply wipe him off the map. He's had a bout or two you know with corporations and with rings. He's mixed it up a bit at times with water-woJ'ks and other thilljl;S, He's entered protests for the "folks," when deals nlOnopolistic were III hazard of the people's rights and e,,~rl" time, as I infer. 'I'he critics of his course would pass the melTy ha-ha and revile. But In the end. the b.a.-ha's changed and Goudy wears the smile.
