But at times?as during the crusade against Peonage and the attacks on the Harding Gang and the "Aluminum Trust'' ?he could put by his composed objectivity and then the World would lash out with its oldtime fire. It is common knowledge that the editorials read most regularly and closely by President Hoover were those in the arch-Democratic New York World.
