...peculiar position in the east and especially in Massachusetts. In the Democrats of Massachusetts, his name inspires implicit confidence and blind discipleship; where he leads they follow. Mr. Smith is conscious that any prolonged appeal for Governor Roosevelt would fall on half-interested cars; what Massachusetts Democrats want to hear is the tale of '28, the tale of Republican bigotry, and hypocrisy, the tale of their unswerving loyalty. To recall to their minds his moral ascendancy, Mr. Smith has small need of polished periods, of intricate logic, of strict party loyalty; his battle is personal, best won by informality, candor...

Asked to return the invitation, Banker Traylor smiled, declined to do so, went, lunched, listened...
...will be good getting down today. It will be good when the detraining mob in North Station starts singing "Dartmouth's in Town Again." It will be good to hear the long clamant wave of sound that will climax the kickoff and to hear the blunt barking roar that greets a touchdown. The crowd at a football game is always two teased Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer lions. It will be good for a man to feel himself part of all the color, of all the good nature, of all, the expectant enthusiasm. It will be excellent to watch The Dartmouth...
