...opposing Gubernatorial candidates last fall; McDaniel, backed by unsavory machine politicos, was expected to win handily. He lost by 3,613 votes, and the raging machine contested the election. Inauguration Day (Jan. 13) came & went; still the Democratic machine tools refused to seat Donnell. Democratic Governor Lloyd Crow Stark, furious at his party, stayed on overtime while the case went to the Supreme Court. Citizens everywhere spat disgust at the Democratic legislature; some of it spattered on uncomfortable, friendly Lawrence McDaniel. At an advertising club's satirical dinner (Jan. 31) the chums were asked to pose together. Genial McDaniel...

Mr. Fish, veteran of many a skirmish with old Mr. Hull, and knowing that the Secretary's innocent, suffering face masks a hot-pincers talent of repartee, gave up the witness swiftly, but prodded furious, bulbous Tinkham in to violent questioning. Hull seemed relaxed, as he politely parried Tinkham's assertions. Typical Tinkham "question": "You say all international law should be dispensed with?" Typical Hull finesse: "My door has been open for eight years and you've never darkened it inquest of information...

But as a matter of practical policy his Government was meanwhile being more hardheaded. To the accompaniment of furious harumphs from some Britons, who tend to resent the war because it is taking their property away, Treasury officials held firmly to one policy: no gifts or loans of munitions until all British assets here are spent...
