...desktop last month, started taking $25 out of the till of the Emporia Gazette each week, and set off banging over the "skiddy, rocky, hilly, bumpy roads of his state-in a dilapidated automobile" seeking votes.

...foundation in Utica of a Toleration Society, is a most refreshing piece of news in these days when it requires a presidential election and a football season to drive the Ku Klux Kian off the front pages of the newspapers. The Society, which purposes to foster patriotic ideals and "a spirit of toleration in economics, politics and religion," seems to have a happy future before it, and in Elihu Root has found a worthy sponsor...
