He drives a Pierce Arrow, wears glasses. likes to pitch horseshoes, take long solitary walks. Formal Washington society interests him little or none. Beetle-browed, tightlipped, he dresses well but inconspicuously. His smoke: cigars. Impartial House observers rate him thus: A quiet and obscure legislator, he is typical of the Congressional rank & file of whom...
