...most entertaining clinical reports made lately on New England Politics. Anybody with a sense of humor will enjoy the dry wit which pervades all but the most legal parts. There is a feminine appeal, too, in the shape of Mrs. O'Hara and her disappointed horses, and a good bit of Drama in the clash of two sections of the Democratic Party, each led by strongwilled, self-made men.
