It was in 1920 that this pinky-bald, bushy-eyebrowed, double- chinned, portly humorist first began to be a source of power and worry to the Democratic national party. At the San Francisco con vention he vexed William G. McAdoo, helped nominate James M. Cox and forced the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the ticket. People asked, "Who is this man Brennan who deals with mighty names?" They couldn't find his history...

Hanger of Illinois, public member of the old Railway Labor Board; Hywel Davies, mediator for the Department of Labor...
Heading the committee is inquisitive Senator Reed, Democrat from Missouri; the other Democrat on the committee is Senator King of Utah, one of the least silent men in the upper house. Young Senator LaFollette, Progressive Republican from Wisconsin, not inclined to be forward, has yet shown in the Tariff Commission investigation that he is not the type to sit back dumbly during cross-examining. The Republican side of the committee has Senator Goff of West Virginia, a so-called hard-boiled Republican of the genus bred in West Virgina, and Senator McNary of Oregon, known in the Senate...
