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.

Perhaps the most convincing phase of their treatment is the plentiful supply of factual material and indices. Information which we have long been wanting to see assembled together, and for which we should have had to scurry all over the country, has been made an integral part of the Administration analysis...
