Besides Cabinet members, Senators, Representatives, many a businessman has answered the call to the Coolidge Camp during the summer. Among them: Edsel Ford (autos, airplanes), Harvey Firestone Jr. (tires), Patrick E. Crowley (railroads), Julius Rosenwald (mail orders), A. J. Brosseau (trucks). The statements of these and other magnates concerning the undeniable prosperity of the country have received wide publicity because made in connection with a visit to White Pine Camp. Long after the magnates have returned to their less conspicuous affairs, the impression lingers that somehow President Coolidge is Prosperity.

...murderers remained at large and newsgatherers had nothing better to do than enlarge upon Jumbo Crowley and the Canton "Jungle," for local color. Jungle gangsters had their heads together, muttering. Jungle women were pawning their trinkets and leaving town, shrewd rats leaving a wreck...
...Jungle stretches southwest out of the business section. Here are factories, dirty alleys, frame hovels and a population of Negroes and foreign-born toilers who cluster at eventide in Greek restaurants and poolrooms. Here, for 25 years, Jumbo Crowley held sway, sending his cosmopolitan children to the polls to vote as he thought best; dispensing protection, advice or instructions, to henchmen in whose doings he never was implicated-until lately, when he was arrested for directing certain alcohol operations, and since when- they say-he has completely reformed...
