Hushed and solemn was the Senate chamber when the final Vare vote came. In the gallery sat William Bauchop Wilson, onetime (1913-21) Secretary of Labor Democratic contestant for the Vare seat. . . . . Before the roll call was finished, Vare was hobbling out of the room.

This autumn he swung into Pennsylvania to herald the campaign of William Bauchop Wilson, Democrat; he is just as liable in the future to dart off to Florida to boom some progressive Republican. "Party ties rest lightly upon me," said he. "I shall be glad to work in unison with anyone, if he believes in the same progressive principles of government that I advocate...
