He still treasures and quotes the faded poets, including Poe, Kipling and Edwin (The Man with the Hoe) Markham, whom he loved in his boyhood. In an age when public men tend to hedge their affirmations, he speaks out forthrightly for such notions as "the integrity of the dollar" and the value of individuality.
