...Minister to the Baltic States John Van Antwerp MacMurray (1902) head a list of some 55 Princeton consuls and vice consuls. Senator David Aiken Reed of Pennsylvania (1900), Governor John Gilbert Winant of New Hampshire (1913), and Governor George White of Ohio (1895), lead some 95 Princetonian Congressmen, State legislators, Mayors, bureau chiefs. Princeton Economist Edwin Walter Kemmerer has been money doctor to the world. Thick in the New Deal is James McCauley Landis (1921), Federal Trade Commissioner who is slated to chairman the Federal Securities & Exchange Commission. Harold Willis Dodds and his earnest young men have a high mark...
...contained a brand new vest-pocket-size dollar, desired by many inflationists. Silverites soon began to clamor for a second precious casket from the White House. For a long time the President demurred. Last week to keep the peace he sent a silver casket to the Capitol. When Congressmen lifted the lid, they found its contents to be: three sops, a new tax, and some consoling generalities.

Dr. Calver worked vainly to restore him. More successful was he when Representatives James William Collier of Mississippi, Mell G. Underwood...
...Vice President Charles Curtis. A stronger hindrance developed last week. John Raymond McCarl, comptroller-general, let it be known that Congress could promote Dr. Calver to anything it liked, but that he would not pay him one cent more than he gets now. The hindrance apparently is not insurmountable. Congressmen recalled that President Wilson made Commander Gary Travers Grayson a rear-admiral, that President Harding made Dr. Charles E. Sawyer a brigadier-general, that President Coolidge made Major James Francis Coupal a colonel, that President Hoover made Lieut.-Commander Joel Thompson Boone a commander. If Presidents can have their personal...
