...school diploma in his pocket, he set up to practice in South St. Paul, in partnership with his friend Elmer James Ryan. As a result of overwork, he came down with tuberculosis. That slowed him up for only a short while. With the help of Ryan, a Democrat, he got himself elected a Republican county attorney in 1930.

Third came last week, when Paul Vories McNutt, Federal Security Administrator, his back a mass of stab wounds from his New Deal friends, hurriedly got leave from his duties to take his case to the country. But Big Jim Farley was already on his way. No one (but Mr. Farley) doubts that he knows, by first name, 10,000 people all over the U. S. Mr. Farley's only doubt...
