...When they found how unRooseveltian Taft was, they were vexed. Their clamor pained and confused him. The late Senator Dolliver described him as a large, amiable island surrounded by people who knew just what they wanted. "Figuratively," as William Allen White says, "he used to come out upon the front stoop of the White House and quarrel petulantly with the American people every...
...Coalition Government and now has been experimented with for seven years. It has been shown a success in some industries. Many of the members of our party, I know, feel it ought to be extended rapidly. But it is not wise in a democracy to go too far in front of public opinion.

...going North on business. A few days later a series of revelations and a contemporaneous series of shocks began. Treasurer Carnes's accounts were audited-no perfunctory audit, this-and Baptists earned that the accounts were a million, perhaps more, dollars short. The Atlanta Constitution printed on its front page a facsimile of a postal department dossier which showed that Carnes twice had been indicted for using the mails to defraud. Shocked though they were, Atlanta Baptists early thought of the honor and credit of the Home Mission Board, immediately established a restitution fund to make up Carnes...
