Roars Dared. Hall followed up this haymaker by observing that he had never heard of Butler until recently, and was "not acquainted with his qualifications for passing judgment on great men." Great men with whom South Bend Lawyer Paul Mulholland Butler, 49, has associated are largely limited to fellow Hoosiers, notably Notre Dame Football Coach Frank Leahy, whose team Butler boosts devotedly, and ex-Governor Henry Schricker (1941-45, 1949-53), whom Butler served as a political troubleshooter.

From time to time, when Idaho's lead mines shut down, when grain prices fell and Washington's Big Bend wheat fields dried up, native brands of radicalism took hold. Nostrums like Populism were laced with occasional dynamitings; the Northwest was a pre-World War I citadel of the I.W.W.
