Robert Johns Bulkley, the genial, bulky Wet Democrat who won a Senate seat in Ohio three weeks ago, last week lay abed in Cleveland breaking three important rules. He had bronchitis. He was not traveling around letting himself be seen. He had not yet found an alter ego to build him up as a candidate for the presidency...

His Wetness pulled his Dry friend George...

With Wet Robert Johns Bulkley plowing and grinning the way, Dry George White, Princeton 1895, one-time Klondike prospector, three-time (1911-15, 1917-19) Congressman, recouped as Democratic Governor-elect some of the prestige he lost exactly ten years ago when he tried to make James M. Cox into a President...
