You should so comport yourself that nothing embarrasses you. If you proceed with good will toward people and don't intend to cheat them or confuse them, make allowance for their prejudices too, it all washes out and doesn't matter very much. Of course if you go around arguing about it all the time, it might be troublesome.

I never became deeply involved with Mitchel administration. I was a bystander. The year before they were talking about fusion, and I had a great sense of participation. Because of my acquaintance with Paul I got to know the people who were interested in better government and having a better city government. I met Charles C. Burlingham at that time. I think I met Henry Moskowitz at that time. I don't remember having met him before, but I may have because he used to be around the Henry Street Settlement and I may have met him there. At any rate, I met him so that I'm conscious of remembering him in the period when the Fusion Party was just getting formed and they were talking about it.
