...high, was almost shrill. As he warmed to his speech (see Page 5) he spoke more rapidly. He pointed an accusing forefinger at the Senators grouped on the Republican side of the Chamber. He paced up and down and gesticulated fiercely. As his remarks became more pointed, a slight flush, as if of embarrassment, appeared on the face of the President. Secretary Hughes grinned.

Somehow it seems I'm just a short, fat, baldheaded man who has learned much in the last year and will learn a lot more in the next few weeks."
