Cook came before the public eye in the state elections in 1934 when he was the only Republican to win a major state office. Last summer Cook's name was frequently on the front pages of local newspapers. He charged that the state primaries were the worst in years so far as forgeries, irregularities, and actual fraudulent practices were concerned.

Viewed from the vantage point of three thousand miles, away from the guns and targets of local politics, "The New Deal", as written by these London editors, is doubtless a highly authoritative and unbiased judgment of the last four years of American history. Perhaps the most convincing phase of their treatment is the plentiful supply of factual material and indices.
