He was sitting at the dinner table, talking with his two faithful Chinese servants when Death came. His father began buying up cod liver oil during the Civil War.

Senator Butler echoes "Coolidge and Prosperity," and sounds pleasant to wealthy manufacturers, to rock-bound farmers, to red-brick- and-green-shutter folk from the Berkshire Hills to Cape Cod.
