Clouds hung last week like a sign in the sky over steel plants in Buffalo, Gary, Youngstown, South Chicago, Bethlehem. Pittsburgh, the city of steel, was dark, dirtier than ever as smoke belched from chimneys and rolled along the Monongahela. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, ore was fed into blast furnaces, cooked, tapped out in molten iron streams.

...White is a very rich man and is spending large sums of money in his efforts to buy the Governor's office. I have never known a dirtier campaign to be waged against anyone for public office than the present one that is being waged against Paul Johnson. ... In my travels of 25 years with my husband, I have heard him denounce wealth, corporations and the money power. I have known his every thought during this time and understood his every move. I know he is not sincerely for Hugh White...
