...Emergency Fleet Corporation. As a matter of fact, the Shipping Board retains absolute control by the simple, yet efficacious, method of demanding a blanket resignation from each Emergency Fleet Corporation President before he takes office.

Bryan) comes out of Nebraska to be the Silver Knight; pallid Altgeld governs Illinois; Andrew Carnegie's detectives shoot strikers at Homestead, Pa.; solid Mark Hanna quietly bosses Cleveland; Coxey's army marches. . . . "California fruits and heiresses appeared seasonably in New York and were absorbed," but Frank Norris and Ambrose Bierce are supplied by the same place...
