...Meredith. Edwin Thomas Meredith of Iowa, who was President Wilson's Secretary of Agriculture (1920-21), refused months ago to let his name be used as a foil.

He allowed his name to be entered locally as a "Stop Smith" candidate...

The first of this trio, William Gibbs McAdoo, who would rather be wrong than have Smith be President, can safely be laid aside, though a wise man has said: "If I were Smith, I would offer him something...
Carter Glass, who succeeded Mr. McAdoo in the Wilson Cabinet, would loom in a proportion exactly inverse to his physical stature, which is today the smallest in the Senate.
